How come we don't erect statues of great people anymore?

We do where I live, though the term "great" means "good at rugby league"

Just nuke us already best Korea.

because these days people are more interested in deconstructing and then vilifying things than they are actually appreciating something. things can only be appreciated after contrasting it with(and usually tearing down) something else. goes for both the left or right.

No more great men.

>>3183808
1. Making statues of historical figures is going out of fashion
2. There are less people deserving of prominent statues than there used to be (Western society has been mostly stable for the last 30 years or so, thus less potential for statue-worthiness.

I wish we didn't cause they're building a fucking Stalin statue in my city.

Apparently, blank dice exist to mark them with custom faces. How does that work?

Do people use pens or stickers?

Isn't it easy to set off the weighting, biasing the dice?

Thanks for reminding me of this one

They just started making a Skenderbeu statue next to a statue of some Hungarian hero in Hungary. But alot of people got angry about the fact that he looks more like a not Slav then an Albanian. Wich is understandable but also interesting. Maybe people who make statues just naturally make them look close to themselves. Maybe a Skenderbeu statue made in China would have asian eyes and hold a cup of rice.

Cincinnati Reds just unveiled a statue of Pete Rose a couple months ago. Fuck you on about?

>>3190082
Nah, marxists are big on building statues of heroes. It's a capitalist desire to not build them, because they cut into profits. Or if they do they build them to be private and hide them away in their personal collections, instead of sharing them with the public. Despicable.

>How come we don't erect statues of great people anymore?

Because it's idolatry to think well of God's greatest people - God's greatest person ever Moses told us so. There is nobody on Earth who cannot be killed for Moses - the single most truthful and useful man in history - who did more good for humanity than any other.

I'm sure tax payer money is spent on less awful things right retard?

>>3183808
Why bother? At the current rate of social progress all presently acceptable political views will be unforgivable and posthumously punishable by erasure from history so we might as well save ourselves the effort and stop remembering things.

>>3183808
great people are a spook and statues are obsolete for anything except aesthetics

Would you want a statue or bust of yourself in a public place?
It's unfashionable, and embarrassing, many "great people"don't want it.
Also, nowadays great scientific or commercial achievements are done by groups of people or organisations, not a single visionary. There will be a statue of Elon Musk for better or worse, somewhere, but it takes teams of people to get stuff done now. Who do you immortalize? The manager? The majority investor? Company director? Or the whole team of researchers? (Or equivalent)

RPGfag here, drawing on the dice adds a negligible weight, plus no body is getting THAT intense with the fairness of the dice anyway. Dice are for excitement, they don't have to be perfect.

Yeah but the gommies around now are Trotskyite fags. At least if they had a boner for Stalin I would have a tiny bit of respect for them alongside my desire to physically remove them. It sucks having limp-wristed fudgepackers as bogeymen

Implying there are any great people worth statues from the last 5 decades.
