>>If you do not understand the difference between Robert E. Lee and George Washington you're never going to grasp this rather simple concept.

If you cannot understand that adult debate consists of responding to each other's words rather than to whatever wild alternatives you invent, you're never going to grasp this rather simple concept.

If you cannot read plain English and prefer always to apply dopey straw man positions to others so you can jeer, then that explains why you struggle to grasp such simple concepts.

>> If you do not understand that Robert E. Lee chose to fight on the side that wanted to keep slavery and then fought to the point of 100,000's of people died and is a symbol of hate and racism then you will not grasp the simple concept.

If you cannot understand that not everybody agrees with your labeling of others as symbols of hatred and racism and if you cannot understand why your sort of intolerance is part of the problem, it's no wonder you keep failing to grasp others' points.

>>You logic here is akin to throwing a fit because a Jewish German kid doesn't want to go to the Adolf Hitler High School and see a bunch of jackasses saving around swastika flags in the name of their German heritage.

Your false equivalence here is yet another example of alt-left thinking that if you link somebody/something to Hitler, you don't need to observe norms of social intercourse and respect because all attacks on Hitler are virtuous.

>> I think you just don't understand a few things here - perhaps it's because you're not from here, I dunno - but obviously you have some serious misunderstandings or have not studied such things involving USA history and society.

I think you just don't understand a few things here- perhaps it's because you can't tolerate anybody's viewpoint but your own, I dunno- but obviously you have some serious misunderstandings or have not studied such things involving USA history and society.
