Some statues of Juan de Onate are now the target of the Anti Brutal Oppressors Brigade. Onate was a Conquistador who led the invasion and theft of much of New Mexico in the way-back of the 16th century. Some argue that removing statues of historical figures is the same as removing history, but isn’t everything that happens today just the future’s history?

Maybe it’s more like there’s an expiration date on some history, so it has to be removed from the shelf in order to restock with fresher and more healthy history.


You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
