Left-Wing Cultural Revolutionaries Are Decapitating Statues And Calling It Art

When they told you Confederate statues were going to museums, you didn’t know they meant this.
The centerpiece of a new exhibit in Los Angeles is a mangled junkyard of a statue, with horse and human limbs glommed together like some kind of zombie Ichabod Crane. Now dismembered beyond recognition, the piece was once a statue of Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson.
In 2021, the statue — along with its better-known counterpart, a statue of Jackson’s friend and commanding officer Robert E. Lee — was removed from downtown Charlottesville, Virginia, four years after the city council voted to remove them. Lee’s statue met its demise in 2023, torn apart and melted down in secret. The haunting footage was later broadcast, as if to taunt those who hoped to see it preserved.
Now, it is Jackson’s turn for public defacement. His head has been severed from its body and his face from its head, which hangs from the top of the newly configured statue like a 21st-century head on a pike. The two men, both depicted atop their beloved war horses, once stood two blocks apart. Now, they have met similar ends, pulled apart piece by piece by those who fashion themselves their cultural conquerors.
