Topic: Confederate Statues

The Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) is analyzed as Mao Zedong's attempt to eliminate rivals and erase traditional culture. The campaign targeted the "Four Olds": old ideas, culture, customs, and habits, leading to the destruction of historical sites and the renaming of streets. The hosts draw direct parallels to modern movements in the U.S. that involve toppling statues and renaming public spaces like Black Lives Matter Plaza.

A discussion on the removal of Civil War monuments explores the definition of patriotism and the "mission creep" of targeting statues of figures like George Washington. The hosts suggest that instead of destruction, the statues should be auctioned off to private collectors or melted down.
