this reads like you're afraid of being left behind more than you're worried about historical revisionism it's dishonest to conflate "we should be able to make mistakes and grow as people" with "we should revere and protect a statue of a man who kept and raped slaves" you've done things that you're ashamed of - did you ever own slaves, or rape anybody? did you say the n-word once in a while? got pushy with a girl at a bar? did you think a bad thought about somebody at some point? you have your own life, point of view, blind spots, things you've been screwed over on - so does everybody. right? culture war stuff like this scares liberals the same way that fox news broadcasts of mexicans flooding over the border scares conservatives, and i urge you to think about whether it makes sense to fear being cancelled you are not in danger from the young or the left! i promise - now please don't greenwald yourself -don't become an old man in the head
