...as long as it doesn't get billed as "Game of Thrones in a Dystopian Future!!!" or "from the same guy who fronted the money for the Walking Dead"
Agreed. Hopefully, the rumoured tv show actually gets made.
The Battle Over Confederate Monuments
@newtboy --
Yarr. I had a pretty long response typed up, and then accidentally clicked on a link and lost it.
So here's a short version:
I agree with you on pretty much everything, but "all statues and other monuments celebrating the insurrection should go" has some caveats for me.
Civic places like government buildings, city parks, etc.? Yeah, they should all go (including the State flags that incorporate the stars and bars). But museums (which you noted you are OK with), battlefields, and even a landmark or two like Stone Mountain I feel can be re-purposed so they aren't necessarily "celebrating the insurrection" so much as "reminding us of the evil that can exist in the hearts of men -- even men that some people respect".
Malcolm Reynolds in Firefly said "It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of sumbitch or another." Easier to remember that for Jefferson Davis, Robert E Lee, and Stonewall Jackson, given that their roles in the Confederacy are pretty defining aspects of their legacies. But it remains true for some people like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and many other founding fathers that were also slave owners, even though we often conveniently forget that aspect of their history.
--EDIT--
Oh, by the way, I love that Malcolm Reynolds quote from Firefly, and there's a rather similar one made by the Hound in the (leaked) S07E06 episode of Game of Thrones:
"Every lord I've ever known has been a cunt. Don't see why the Lord of Light should be any different."
Not as relevant as the other one, but I liked it.
