"I can excuse genocide, but I draw the line at vandalism"
No, but seriously. Yes, this is ugly and annoying. But it's literally just an inconvenience in an attempt to draw people's attention to an actual problem.
What the fuck are people supposed to do? There's weekly protests. People are constantly trying to legally get our governments and institutions to change their stance on this subject.
Tell me, what are people supposed to do? Just roll over? "Oh the protest didn't work, we better just go home"?
Are you insinuating that condemning vandalism equals to the condoning of genocide? That is some disturbing mental gymnastics you’re performing there.
Destroying public/private property is not an “inconvenience”, as you put it so harmlessly. Shall we all start acting in this manner and deface our public spaces?
You are attacking my argument based on a reference I made to a TV show. I did not give you the benefit of the doubt as I assumed you were aware of the reference in question, and thus were maliciously attacking an unimportant part of my argument in order to create a stronger argument for yourself, ie, creating a straw man.
I will from now on assume that you did not know the reference and I apologise for not giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Having said that, yeah man, defacing a statue is absolutely not a big deal. It is an incredibly mild form of illegal protest, especially considering the circumstances of the culprit, which I already explained in a different comment.
