I'm a super America-hating leftist, but when I'm at Civil War sites, I'm all "FUCK YEAH, KILL THOSE TRAITORS!"
lol, in Canada most of the monuments aren't even stuff you can get excited about. Like oh cool, this is the reason why we're part of a British empire, instead of a French/American one.
In Denmark monuments are either: "Here's king so and so sitting on a horse and he was actually pretty awesome for unspecified reasons" or it's "We got our asses kicked in that war but we had the moral high ground"
Denmark and Sweden are the two countries that have most often been at war with each other apparently. Dudes rock!
I get weird looks from anglos whenever i mention louis riel in any sort of positive context. You guys love this rebellion shit, why are you so upset by a guy who actually did it?

Me normally: God damn the American Military Industrial Complex and all those who keep it running.
Me when I see a wehrb or nazi dork:
Me normally: Sherman, while on the right side in the war, was an imperialist and white supremacist, and gleefully participated against the Native Americans.
Me when I hear lost cause idiots: Sherman did one thing wrong. He stopped. I want to go back in time and give him nukes.
the only monument your supposed to like is the one mural of john brown being 9ft tall
