Right wing authoritarianism isn’t subtle.

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 was meaning an actual portrait, but even Godwin didn’t think his law was a fallacy.

    And in this case I think it’s actually quite apt, considering we are discussing somebody defacing a painting, instead of, you know, the actual genocide going on right now?

    Like I’ll gladly drop this argument and go protest against the ongoing war crimes - will you do the same?
