It's so nice to see people installing gender neutral bathrooms nowadays (media.kbin.social)

I don't see any statues in this photo. Nobody here is talking about celebrating the Confederate soldiers, only suggesting that their graves shouldn't be pissed on.

If you don't think statues are covered under the umbrella of "museum-like stuff" and aren't relevant to a conversation about what public relics of the Confederacy should be preserved, that's a you issue, my guy.

Maybe you missed the point of my comment. I agree with you that Confederate statues erected during the civil rights movement are an affront to everything we stand for as a nation. I agree that they should be torn down wherever they exist.

I also don't understand what any of that has to do with a photo of unmarked Confederate graves. Or how it would in any way justify pissing on them.

It has everything to do with the thread I responded to. Is there a reason you took issue with my reference to statues, but not other people with far more upvotes responding to the same comment in the same thread talking about battlefields, prisons, and houses?

I'd suggest you go back and read what we were all replying to - I'm clearly not the only one that doesn't think this whole conversation needs to be restricted to the pissing on the graves in the photo.

Again, this is a you issue.
