  1.  @1029-h8s  Terrible people should be immortalized though. It's not like the world will become a "better" place if the memories of Adolf Hitler or Josef Stalin are allowed to be forgotten. All that ensures is repetition of such individuals gaining power and influence again. Having your memory immortalized is not necessarily a "tribute" to the person. It can also be used as a cautionary tale of infamy.

  2.  @depressedasfook2893  The solution isn't to destroy the statues though, like the left wing extremists do. The solution is to broaden the historical education.

  3.  @SuperSlimshady1  Because taking down the statue and pretending that it was never there is the same as trying to whitewash history.

  4.  @Shidonmytid  So when will Antifa and the black supermacist movement teach about the bad things they have done? Will it ever happen? Looking at them so far, I very much doubt it. They'll excuse all their crimes and actions with "it was mostly peaceful protests", no matter how many people got hurt or killed by them.

  6.  @jaelonsanders5878  It doesn't though. Technology is not a panacea to human rights violations. Because people being people will always come up with justifications to commit human rights violations. Humans aren't generally principled creatures when pushed. They will rape, murder, torture and rob anyone if they can figure out a justification for it.

  7. Ever heard about the Vipeholm Expermients in Sweden? They were basically a series of experiments taking place at Vipeholm Hospital for the Intellectually Disabled in Lund, Sweden during the years 1945–1955. They wanted to study the effects of dental caries and tooth decay, and whether sugar would contribute to it or not. So they forcefed intellectually disabled patients a kind of specially made taffy that had several times more sugar than normal sweets and which was also extremely sticky and basically just observed how the teeth rotted out of the skulls of the poor test subjects, causing them extreme pain and discomfort. Since they were also put on this taffy diet to hasten the effects of tooth decay, test subjects were sometimes not given anything at all to eat but the taffy, causing them to get sick in other ways. The test subjects, being labelled as "uneducatable retards" by the hospital staff were also extremely dehumanized too. To the point where if they developed secondary complications for the experiments, like getting sick with pneumonia or various infections, they didn't want to "waste treatment" on them, so many succumbed and died to such diseases under the care of the scientists. What makes it all worse is that the scientists went out of their way to find new test subjects to continue the experiments, going so far as to lie to families of children with mental disabilites, telling them that they would get treatment for their ailments at Vipeholm, when in reality they were being sent there to be tortured and probably die. These experiments weren't some "black project" of the government or even the military. They were sponsored and conducted primarily by the sugar industry and the dentist association in Sweden at the time. So I guess what we can take away from this is: histories of horrifying human experiments can be found almost anywhere. Asking around the world about their views of Sweden as a country, most people believe it's a small, peaceful and progressive country with a great emphasis on human rights. It doesn't have a history of being a major combatant in recent wars (not even WWII since it stayed officially neutral) like the usual suspects: The USSR, U.S, Great Britan and Japan. Yet these things took place in Sweden, and they even continued beyond the revalations of what the Nazis did to people in their camps. And to this day, nobody has been prosecuted or seen the inside of a jail cell for these crimes. Another thing to take away from it is what private interests lead to if being left without regulation or intervention from the government. Hard to imagine people peddling sugar and sweets to engage in medically unethical human experiments on mentally challenged people, but here we are.
