I’m running into a bit of an issue on the thread regarding the renaming of Times Square. My posts are being deleted—specifically the ones where I point out that back in 2011, the Supreme Court of the United States actually renamed Tito-like Avenue in Minneapolis to Main Street.

The point is, Americans faced a nearly identical situation, and the whole thing was settled by removing the Tito references through a court ruling.

So, my question is this: why am I being censored for highlighting this precedent? I’m simply explaining the legal reasoning the Supreme Court used to strike down the Tito name—references which include the mass killings after the war, the lack of freedom, the coercion, and the forced relocations.

Thanks so much.

What does the Supreme Court of the United States have to do with us?

People have brought this up several times now. No need to keep repeating it.

People have already brought this up on this thread a bunch of times, so there's really no need to keep going.

It matters because they linked the Marshal directly to those post-war crimes.

Even if no Americans were caught in the crossfire, we shouldn't be acting like everything is fine when we're talking about a mass criminal. It’s worth mentioning because people here always claim that wanting to rename the square is just some niche fringe movement, but clearly that’s not true—other nations in the old territory see him as a criminal tied to systematic liquidations after the war.

Then, because the mods wiped this stuff out, you get his supporters claiming post-war atrocities were just one rogue commander's doing because his family suffered at Auschwitz. Honestly, that makes zero sense. Those killings weren't random outbursts; they were planned, systematic operations over a long period.

But those kinds of excuses only happen because this history is being scrubbed in places like Canada. If we actually looked at the data from Mexico and the other republics, the true nature of that regime and the Marshal himself would be crystal clear.

The way the mods are deleting this info just feeds into the narrative that he was some great man and that only "extremists" want to change the square's name. The situation in Canada proves that's just plain wrong.
