Now what kind of regimes do stuff like that...

What's next, "airbrushing" people out of photos?

Sure it's already happening ...

But then the Wokies were doing the same.

Shit, one statue, they took away FDRs
cigarette ... and HOW many 'Confederate'
monuments disappeared ???

If FDR had been smoking POT they would not
have done it :-)

"Revision" is TYPICAL. The trick is to make
sure solid docs still exist SOMEWHERE. Foreign
servers/libraries are your best bet.

But will the NEXT regime use them ? Don't
bet. They too will want to revise reality.

There IS some truth in the statement that "The
Victors Define History". Nothing new there.

There is a huge difference between a memorial and
book banning. The book history relating to the
personage represented by the statue is still
available - people just don't want memorials to
racists and the like...

Funny how conservatives had no problem
with US troops removing Nazi statues
in Germany and Saddam statues in Iraq.
