Pulling down statues

[Dreadnaught]

Dread is easily frightened by everything except existential threats. It is a magnificent testament to the incredible success of human effort and ingenuity that he can actually survive in this world

What existential threats don't frighten me?

To my utter lack of surprise, 'calls for [doing this thing]' turned out to be 'one person said we should [do this thing]'. Classic tabloid trick there.

It's the speaker of the New York City Council, and her interview has been replayed on the radio maybe half a dozen times in the past week or so. I don't know why you're denying that this is a discussion that's happening. I think it's a stupid discussion, but it's happening.

Then again NYC's Mayor is literally a socialist who hates the concept of private property, so...

[Steely Glint]

Oh no! A socialist!

A literal socialist, even.

SOCIALIST: Did you hear about Karl Marx's grave?
LITERAL SOCIALIST: I did not.
SOCIALIST: It's a communist plot.
LITERAL SOCIALIST: I am aware of no such conspiracy.

Socialism is bad mmmkay.
