 note = {In its birth year the United States of America shook off symbols of its former fidelity to the British crown in a number of ways, one of which was the pulling down of an equestrian six-year-old statue of the young king George III in New York City. History buffs delighted in relating that historical fact as statues of long dead "racists" were vandalized one after another in solidarity with Black Lives Matter. BLM was protesting the suffocation death of George Floyd at the hands of an overzealous and possibly racist Minneapolis police officer who was white and male.
The first problem with this is that the statues were not always removed in keeping with any kind of community consensus. The second is that the righteous energies of the mob did not seem even to know or care exactly whose statue it was they were lassoing for the scrap pile.
This paper argues that despite the superficial similarities with the legendary vandalism of the Revolution, the damage inflicted on public statuary in 2020 may be interpreted as an uninformed assault on Western civilization itself.},
