Being a progressive means sacrificing 10,000 years of human history to 50 years of utopian thinking. “Colonialism” is simply the way people lived - until a bunch of privileged brats decided their cushy, guilt ridden, elite ideas more more important then every one else’s. So disheartening...

You have hit the nail on the head except I wouldn't call it utopia. I call it fascist tyranny. For thousands of years slavery was practiced and considered moral. You cannot judge the morals of the past by the morals of today.
The tyrants on the left willfully ignore that most countries that practice the religion of peace condone slavery and have slaves. The black Muslim country of Sudan raided Christian villages, in the 20th cen. slaughtering everybody in the village except women and small children who they took as slaves.
The left worships the religion of peace and pillories anyone who criticizes it. Where is their outrage over a modern day Muslim country condoning slavery. It is easier for these whacky left wing nutz to tear down statues and organizations over something that happened in this country over 100 years ago than to condemn their Muslim heroes.
If for some reason I had a national audience and stood up and cursed Islam for having slaves, beating and killing women and throwing homosexuals off roof tops the left would curse me for being Islamophobic and ignore the facts I was presenting.
When the left can't win an argument, they change the subject and call you names, like racist or xenophobe and tear down statues or change an organization's name.
I wonder how many of these individuals have read 1984? I’m also reminded of something Scott Peck wrote about how great evil is sometimes committed by people absolutely convinced of the righteousness of their actions. Not saying that renaming organizations is great evil, but i think that many of these self righteous individuals are completely convinced of their own virtue in doing so.
Yes. Reading Peck’s work has motivated me to always question myself about my reactions. Self-examination is one of our best antidotes to facilitating evil ourselves.

Those privileged brats live quite nicely on the trust funds created via the “sins” of their ancestors.
Ain’t that the truth
