The 8ft statue, installed in Phoenix last week to mark one year since Kirk’s killing, was found painted red

A newly unveiled statue of the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk was vandalized at the Turning Point USA headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.

The statue was found with red spray-paint. A nearby poster memorial in front of the statue was vandalized with red paint as well.

          That Mao was a Fuck up that got more of his own countrymen killed then he did during the Civil War for starters.

                Ok, my question still stands: If Mao fucked up so bad with its Great Forward Leap, which was done to catch up with countries like the US, and as you can see, it succeeded, China already surpassed America regardless of what your coping mechanism says; how is that a fuck up? Sure, the transition was costly and bloody, but so was America’s foundation. It exterminated so many native cultures, Mao did not do that, and also, Xi is not a pedophile like Trump. Where is the fuck up, exactly?

                And that claim you made, it’s so childish. It’s a nothingburger. “If he died, Chinese would had achieved more.” How? What makes you say that? You are Dr. Strange seeing all the possible outcomes or something?

                  dude multi millions died, thats not a success, if i kill off half my nation, the rest would of course live better lives without the added stress of supporting those people. its triage rebranded as innovation.

                    So did many natives in America just so you could end supporting a country ran by a pedophile. What? That one was noble? “They were too violent and backwards with their tech, they did them a favor by conquering them and killing them all”?

      Mao’s writings on epistemology (on practice, on contradiction, where do correct ideas come from, & on the correct handling of contradictions among the people) are incredible, and I think everyone should read them. Especially the first two!

      Those poor sparrows though 😔
