The far left is trying to rewrite the history together with frame the USA president every bit a Ku-Klux-Klan boss of a class together with all these things are only bizarre.



Let me selection a text past times George X. Doležal – who is paid for somewhat funny, somewhat provocative industrial plant inward Reflex, a mainstream journal.

Let's tear downwardly the statues of Charles IV!
George X. Doležal, August 20th (satire)

After a volume demolition of the statues of the national heroes from the Confederate era which took house inward the USA inward recent days, this remarkable neo-Marxist happening could teach a European habit, too. At to the lowest degree the Czechia should teach inspired past times the USA government together with get-go to take away the statues of the corking Czechs who must travel disavowed today, inward the cite of the political correctness.




Every fourth dimension I walk on the Charles pair together with I am passing past times its Old Town side, I am shaken, repelled, offended, scandalized, together with disgusted past times the pompous together with fascizing anti-Semitism that the citizens of Prague are expressing past times their tolerance of the statue of Charles IV [the nigh admired Czech manly individual monarch together with Holy Roman Emperor] who is standing (more precisely, sitting) nigh the Charles bridge. And, of course, past times their continued habit to role a cite for the pair that is together with therefore outdated, currently unacceptable, together with offensive – the cite of the renowned anti-Semite Charles IV.




During the tenure of this uncritically worshiped Jews' hangman, plague arrived to Europe. It was raging specially inward Federal Republic of Federal Republic of Germany together with the local population over at that spot defendant the Jews of its spreading. Consequently, the councilmen inward Nuremberg signed a pact alongside Charles IV that if the local Jews volition travel "eradicated or if they teach out the city", their houses together with assets volition travel assigned to the municipal authorities. Charles IV undoubtedly anticipated that plunderging pogroms would bring house but he allowed the people of Nuremberg to vanquish their Jews, anyway. On Dec 5th, 1349, the people of Nuremberg murdered 560 Jews who had lived inward the metropolis – every bit a training for the Holocaust. Most of them were burned or beaten to death. Similarly, Charles IV allowed the citizens of Frankfurt an Main to confiscate the assets of the beaten Jews, together with therefore on July 15th, 1349, a pogrom took house there, too. Those pogroms were followed past times i inward Cheb/Eger, a Western Bohemian town, whose organizers were pardoned past times Charles IV.



It is absolutely unacceptable that a renowned anti-Semite has a statue somewhere inward Central Europe inward 2017. It may travel truthful that this racist was i of the nigh of import figures of the Czech statehood. But that is no excuse! Our duty is to hold off at the historical characters without the pinkish spectacles of prejudices together with nationalist stereotypes, through a novel perspective that takes the currently respected moral norms together with civic freedoms into account.

That's why I am urging the City Hall of the Capital City of Prague to straight off take away the statue of this disgusting anti-Semite, earlier it volition travel done past times an outraged, offended mob, together with house a dissimilar statue on the pedestal. What could travel a statue that would concur alongside the moral imperative of our age, a human-rightist, multicultural, together with to a greater extent than oft than non acceptable statue? It must travel a statue of a transsexual Muslim vegan.
