Right wing authoritarianism isn’t subtle.

edit:

added context:

Here is what Ben is replying to:

Pro-Palestinian protesters a part of a group called “𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧,” vandalized a historic painting of Arthur James Balfour at Trinity College Cambridge in England.

Arthur Balfour wrote the Balfour Declaration of 1917 when he was serving as the British Foreign Minister. The letter expressed Britain’s support for a Jewish Homeland in what is now Israel.

      Thanks!

      Gotta say destroying art, especially historic, is a pretty shitty thing to do. It’s literally irreplaceable.

      Edit: Oh, I should add that I still can’t see the posts on twitter itself. Not sure what their settings are like for non-users these days though, but it looks like it should be there. None of the posts I can see have that format either, with the “breaking news” heading and red light emoticon.

        Looking at it from the protestors view:

        Protesting the genocide happening: 30,000+ dead

        Are Palestinians replaceable as well…

        Property over human life, every time.
