Remember how the Mainstream Media said they won't be coming for Jefferson and Washington Next?

but even if I am wrong, destroying his statue is just pretending the Trail of Tears didn't happen.

But how? It's historic, but I very much doubt history would be lost without this statue.

because if no one wants to look at that part of history, how can we lean from it?

It's not only a matter of sensitivity. It's morally unjust for all the connotations that a statue entails.

Statues can be pretty symbolic, but they don't denote much substance really. So as I was saying, you don't lose history from removing the statues.

You know, that's the stupidest argument I've heard about pulling down statues. The history isn't lost by pulling down a statue, it's still in history books and the like. Otherwise, you could argue statues of Lenin & such shouldn't have been pulled down in the ex-Eastern Bloc, the statue of Saddam Hussein shouldn't have been pulled down in Iraq, and that enormous Swastika over the Reichstag shouldn't have been blown up.

removing it? No. But destroying it?

Yes I agree. They're still just statues though.

Um, what? In which parallel reality did that happen?

Well so far we've recognized that, Robert E Lee for instance, is closer to a Stalin or Lenin than a Pol Pot. Not quite a Hitler, but maybe the Spanish leader or something.

Mind your sources and check them. This is the Reichstag:



It's a rather distinct building and remains almost unchanged since it's initial construction. Basically the only thing that changed is the dome, which changed from a more or less rectangular tin-plated dome to a dome made of glass and designed as a walkaround overhead the actual parliament's chamber. You'll also note the inscription "Dem deutschen Volke" (For the German People), made out of the metal of two captured french cannons from the Wars of Liberation against Napoleon in 1813 to 1815. Ironically enough, the letters were made by a jewish company and even the Nazis did not remove them and it remained there when Berlin was bombed repeatedly, damaged but still quite prominent until the very end:



You'll notice the absence of both the distinct form of the building and the words from the building in the video you linked and if you dig a bit you'll find, that the building in your video is indeed not the Reichstag, but the Zeppelintribüne, which is part of the Zeppelin-stadium of the Nazi Party's primary rally ground southest of Nürnberg.
