Are there original thoughts in the heads of these millennials?

Appetite for Destruction: Lincoln, Grant, Churchill statues coming down, Lenin going up  "Statues and monuments to some of the most important Western historical figures of all time have been summarily defaced and destroyed in recent weeks, including those of Columbus, Washington, Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Winston Churchill.  None of these figures had a damn thing to do with the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, but that shouldn't surprise anyone because the wanton destruction of symbols of the West's past has nothing to do with the killing of Floyd, either.

"Columbus "discovered" the New World and died well over 100 years before the first slave ship came from Africa to America.  Washington was one of the most principled men who ever lived and was "The Father" of the country that has done more to advance human freedom than any other.  Lincoln saved that country while freeing the slaves.  He directed a war effort that saw nearly 350,000 Union troops die...in part to put an end to slavery — and died a martyr himself.  Grant defeated the Confederacy, trashed the Ku Klux Klan, and fought to protect the newly won rights of black people in the years after the war.  Churchill stood alone in the West against the Third Reich and its Nazis for over 17 consecutive months.

"So what is the orgy of anarchy and destruction about?  It is nothing short of a planned assault on the West and the values it used to hold so dear.  It is a Marxist insurrection hoping to bring about the end of the U.S. — and the West — as we knew it.  It is anti-capitalist, anti–rule of law, anti-Christian, and anti-freedom.  The leaders of Antifa and BLM have openly admitted this.  Even if they hadn't, it is abundantly clear to see for any sentient being connecting the dots.  It is also utterly racist, classist, and intolerant." . . .

How Long Will the Vandals Run Amok?   . . . "We erect statues to remember, revere and honor those whom we memorialize. And what is the motivation of the people who tear them down and desecrate them?
"In a word, it is hate. A goodly slice of America's young hates this country's history and the men who made it. It hates the discoverers and explorers like Columbus, the conquistadores and colonists. It hates the Founding Fathers and the first 15 presidents, all of whom either had slaves or coexisted with the injustice of slavery. But hating history and denying history and tearing down the statues of the men who made that history does not change history." . . .
