Protests Erupt Over Removal of Freud Statue

Dozens of protesters congregate in Red Square as the removal of the statue of Freud is set to take place. Armed with scented candles and chants of “super-id” the crowd demands that their history not be erased.

“Just because all of his ideas stem from dicks and are utterly absurd does not mean that we should not honor him. Times were different back then and just because what he did seems wrong now doesn’t make him a bad person” classical psychologist Dr. Herbert Browning of NYU explained. Many in attendance blame the newer, more liberal psychology being taught in schools and universities today.

“Psychologists these days think that every individual is special and that blanket diagnoses can’t be used any more like in the past. That is just liberal snowflake malarkey, pardon my French” says a begrudged old man in a tweed coat.

“We are not attempting to erase anyone’s history, merely to honor them more….properly,” President Angel expressed extremely unconvincingly in a recent interview. “There is no need to worry, the statue is not being destroyed, only moved to a more appropriate place, a graveyard for the dearly departed. He will be around the likes of John Locke and his clear slate as well as Thomas Edison and the superior direct current generator.”

This latest removal is just a single incident in a nationwide movement and it remains to be seen if the trend will continue in these future months.
