Welcome to the struggle sessions

The burning of cities and statues in cities across America serves more of a purpose than just removing an ever growing list of problematic public art. It’s meant to psychologically demoralize everyone not adhering to the new progressive fantasy world the left envisions for America.
Funnily enough the reality usually ends up looking more like the CHAZ in Seattle rather than a green utopia that is envisioned and sold to historically illiterate anarchists. In all seriousness, the goal of the anarchists - and those managing and funding this American insurrection - it to break our ties to history.
There can be no truth outside of what is currently demanded. A demand which will be expanded to the next symbol... until there are no more symbols to anything but themselves.
There can be no ownership of the good in history, no nuance to anything outside of the power the left chooses to wield.
The choice of burning our culture and our cities is because they are impotent at the highest levels.
The ongoing insurrection has actually hindered the left in making any sweeping legislative changes at a time of a president keen to make deals and a GOP Congress who is usually fine at going along, albeit at a more sedate pace.
We will see if these tactics will have a result that has made the looting and riots worth it.
Unfortunately political solutions are limited in cities where registration runs 92% Democrat.
The burning of American cities should be seen as the threat it is, and there is no mistaking the tactics, which is reminiscent of a spoiled teenager and coupled with lashing out to create fear and loathing for those who have thus far refused to acquiesce.
Giving in to a violent mob only emboldens those perpetrating violence.
And the path is so very short from toppling statues to toppling people.
Just ask anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in their vehicle when the mob comes running around the corner.
