I can't speak for what is going on Britain but the attempt at separating people from their culture has been going on for decades here in the U.S. and the sad part is, the number of crazies wanting to tear down statues and burn books is really a very small percentage. The problem here isn't so much politeness as it is indifference on the part of too many people for too many years. Our tradition is based on individualism and sadly a lot of people felt like if something wasn't directly affecting them, why should they care? But that is starting to change now that the crazies have kicked it into overdrive. Erick Erickson is credited with coining the phrase, you will be made to care. That is the stage we are entering here. Of course, one of the largest problems the hard core leftists have is explaining with any kind of detail what exactly the system they have in mind to replace the patriarchy will look like and how it will function. Most of their young zealots haven't thought the matter through but when you are a cultist that doesn't really matter anyway. A lot of them are just Nihilists raging against the machine. They have this pent up rage and angst and since most of them come from dysfunctional homes they were taught to respond to everything on an emotional level. Like I say, it's a small number but because they lash out they make a lot of noise and get a lot of attention. The powers that be who are using them are okay with that because as long as the spotlight is on the crazies they get to do what they do best, acquire more power. And that is the key to it all, the acquisition and application of raw power. More damage has been done to this country over the past 60 years than in the 200 that preceded it. I know because I had a front row seat for most of it. My generation inflicted a lot of that damage, hedonistic bunch that we were. May God have mercy on our souls. But that's me.
