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.

I never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Ben on this one. That was an artwork painted long before any living person was born, and should be still around long after any of us die.
Destroying history in the name of a cause should never be acceptable.
Ok let’s extend your logic to its maxima - so what you’re saying is that if you had to choose between destroying all paintings in the world or everyone dying - you’d choose everyone to die and save the paintings?
Most sane centrist ever…
I’d reserve that for those who live in maximal terms. They’re worth less than the paintings 😘
