Everyone agrees that slavery is bad.
We carry on with our own lives, get up, work, eat, laugh with friends if we are lucky and sleep.
None of us are slaves in our block or even our city. No-one we know has talked about slavery, even in an historical context for at least a year.
The broadcast media tell us that a statue in our city means we approve of and celebrate slavery. Do we? So does it?
Children used to play at war. They would divide into two groups and each would adopt a place, totem or flag that the other group would need to find, capture or take. Such games are now banned for most children, who are enslaved by their parent's ambitions, but adults still play them.
We hear that a family has the crushing grief of a daughter murdered at a demonstration. We are told by the broadcast media that she died fighting those who would celebrate slavery and racism by defending a statue. An exciting game for the politically insane that provided whole minutes of coverage for the voracious 24 hour news industry has killed a real person.
The greatest danger to us all is the postmodern Broadcast Media - see Postmodernism-poststructuralism-postmarxism.
Postmarxism celebrates the division of people by race as a means of instigating revolutionary change. Most journalists are poststructuralists which is why they say nothing about postmarxism. They never explain that at its absolute zenith the BNP was supported by a miniscule 0.6% of the electorate and that it is postmarxist policy to use this pathetic group of racists as the reliable extras who always turn up to represent the enemy in their TV plays. The intentions of the postmarxists are never mentioned.
-----Presentism-----
Statues are often installed by those who, at a particular time in the past, believed that the subject of the statue had some resonance with the events, religion or politics of that time, the time of their erection. After WWII statues were erected of Winston Churchill. As a young Edwardian Churchill supported the British Empire. At that time all of the media in the UK and many other places saw the British Empire as a fixture, a necessary structure for the maintenance of global peace. Such globalised structures as European Empires were inevitable, they said. The post-structuralist postmarxist would nowadays declare that Churchill is a racist imperialist and all record of him should be erased. But he was not a racist imperialist because "racism" had scarcely been invented as a political label in 1912.
In the present the postmodern, poststructuralist postmarxists are making a play for political power using subversion of the broadcast media. In 1950 the British were giving thanks for leadership in a dark and deadly recent past. In 1912 Churchill was immersed in his contemporary culture. Only an idiot would mix up these things but postmarxists mix them up deliberately as a smokescreen for playing war around anything they have declared to be a totem in their battle for power today.
