    I feel like that would arrive you at tearing those monuments down, not changing them around a bit, which is why the whole thing seems so odd to me

      The problem being is that they want to take over the history, to subsume it and make it their own

      Being capitalists however, they do it on the cheap and we end up here

      Cost too much to tear down probably

      That and knowing what they rebuild in its place won’t look nearly as cool
