I know cancel culture has long gone the way of being completely meaningless like “woke” and all the other renditions of the same phrase but this still feels incredibly silly to label as “cancel culture” lol
I used to think “virtue signalling” was just some made up crap but it seriously feels like the most apt description for how right wingers use “woke”, “cancel culture” in general, etc. Just empty, meaningless buzzwords solely there to signal your political leanings to whoever is listening.
There is not an infinite amount of museum space, either. They curate their selection and won’t take everything. That’d be impossible.
Also, melting a statue and turning it into another statue will cause the history of the old statue to be preserved as part of the history of the new statue, meaning again, the events surrounding the old statue aren’t forgotten. The statue’s end and rebirth just becomes part of the art, and imo the new statue would be more meaningful than just another hateful Nazi object.
I guess a phoenix would make sense here too, but I really like the idea of the dove. Bummed they aren’t doing it.
Implying their great-grandfather was fighting on the allied side. Or even that America was setting out to stop the Nazis. Similar to the union in the civil war, the war was about protecting empire, and not stopping evil.
Good. Ship the thing off to a museum, slap a label on it and use it to educate people. Lest we forget.
Fuck cancel culture.

If this is “cancel culture” the phrase has lost all meaning.
You know what we did to the nazis, right?

You should tell your great-grandfather that he was practicing cancel culture.
