What really worries me and a lot of others about this sort of thing, is what it reminds us of.

During Mao’s cultural revolution, traditional religious and cultural artefacts were torn down and destroyed. When ISIS conquered a territory, they likewise would destroy ancient statues and icons. When people like me see BLM pulling down confederate statues in the wake of Charlottesville, it makes us think that it is a sign of another totalitarian ideology (radical leftism) declaring a culture war, and that anything not seen as compatible with the incoming utopia will be fair game.
