The recent skirmishes between anti fascists and fascists have sent ripples across the world, and here in the United States we felt them predominantly emanating from the South, where Nazis fought to preserve "history." I see that white nationalists are attempting to communicate something, and failing. Here is my theory of how to best understand what happened based on the receding perspective of history.
If a white nationalist says she wants to ensure that her side of history is not erased, then she might be right about a statue being a monument of historical significance. A monument may be installed anywhere there is sufficient space: a large foyer, the side of a mountain, inside a museum, etc. But, the white nationalist will argue, for example, if creationism should not be taught in school, then why should evolution? If fascists are blamed for violence at protests, why aren't counterprotesting anti-fascists also blamed? These Nazis were not the first to paint themselves victims, and they even enlisted the ACLU to protect them, an organization which is supposed to defend civil liberty, not fascism. Shame on you, ACLU. Get your **** together, god damn it. You're embarrassing.
The most important differences between the history of fascism in the USA, and the history of other things arise from cultural sources. Students used to take a civics course, and the closest analog is now known as "social" studies. We study our society, other cultures, and read about history if we want to graduate from high school with much more than our names on pieces of paper.
Unite the Right will not be commemorated with public monuments. There will be no need to erect statues in public areas, for all to see the struggle of the Nazi. Still, we are not "erasing history," because while we do want to erase the central dogma of fascism, we will always remember the smell of it. You will be forgiven again, and again, as long as your actions are not criminal, like the Nazi sympathizer who attacked protesters in Charlottesville. There will always be someone to forgive you, but we do not forget the cruel intolerance of your dogma.
We should erase Nazi culture from our way of life. It is un-American to discriminate against someone because of their race.
Some more thoughts:
Red Pill: The very name evokes imagery from a science fiction movie where the last remaining refuge of humanity is named after the Jewish "Zion." Need I say more? Firmly and publicly reject fascism in the name of the American people.
Men's Rights: This will separate the men from the boys. MRA's do not appreciate being abused and disenfranchised because of their gender. The same goes for race and creed. Firmly and publicly reject fascism in the name of the American people.
3rd Wave Feminism and SJW's: It is not difficult for them to engage in virtue signalling. Yet modern feminists engage in identity politics like fascists do. Many of their leaders are opinionated, white people, like fascist leaders. They constantly victimize themselves and circulate hateful rhetoric about their targets.
What is the difference between oppressive feminism and fascism? It is a well documented, historical fact that fascism has oppressed various groups. That is why we reject it. But feminism has very recently taken an oppressive, chauvinistic, and fascistic turn.
When fascists say that they don't want their history to be erased, they do not only mean that the Second World War has been forgotten. They mean that they want their oppressive dogma to be preserved in our publicly funded institutions. Americans should take action to repair international bonds and ensure domestic tranquility. How we do that varies, but we can agree that fascism is not the right way.
