The smashing of American history monuments of all kinds, including those fighting on either side, because they were white men or slave holders, the smashing of churches or historic buildings of one or another type, the smashing of institutions deemed oppressions of those of color, the smashing of historical explanations that go back farther than 30 years, the smashing of most of recorded history into a presentist account, the smashing of nation states themselves as representing oppression against their inhabitants, the smashing of art, the smashing of all explanations inconsistent with these acts, the smashing of politically incorrect language and symbols inconsistent with this smashing, the smashing of those who oppose such smashing.
This is The Postmodern Smash of Civilizations.
