It ain't about anyone's "way of life". Here in the states the fucks against statues defaced even memorials to some of the first racially integrated military unity in American history. You cannot rightly or justly judge history by modern sensibilities.
So we're still going with the "the protest is okay during the pandemic-that-shut-down-life-the-universe-and-everything ONLY IF it's for a cause I support, all other protests are hell incarnate" narrative?
I agree that statues of those kind of people shouldn't have been built in the first place, but since they have been, the proper place for them is in a museum, not in the trash.
Like it or not, those statues are apart of history, destroying them, or disposing them in an improper manner is going to screw us over.
As for melting them down and forging the metal into something useful... I understand that, but I don't know if I necessarily agree with it.
