I'm Polish - a post-Soviet block country - and I enjoy a good statue toppling! Why has it taken the US so long to start removing statues of racists, slavers, and shitty men from the bad times when they still had power? Poland changed all the street names named after bolsheviks and everything. Like, in Philly where I live there once was a mayor whose campaign slogan was 'vote white' and he still had a statue dedicated to him until a month ago.
I work for a company with employees around the globe. The Americans are polarized-- on the left, they mostly seem to support 'cancelling' people that don't agree with them. On the right, they are mostly silent, but quite upset.
Colleagues in overseas locations are likewise polarized. Some hold liberal opinions and agree with the left-side views. I've been especially surprised by some people that come from former Soviet-block countries, though. They are mostly horrified at the statue toppling, language 'cleansing', etc. They believe it looks too familiar and is leading to worse things.
