I stand with Palestine, and the rare spaces our public can spend time and educate themselves. Genocide is depressing. Hurting books makes me sad.

This has the same iq level as spraying paint on stonehenge
Are you are referring to the recent vandalism? Because that was about as much vandalism as defacing a street with kiddy chalk. It wasn’t paint.
Nah, Stonehenge and pieces of art have no real value to the general population but a shit to of value to rich people who don’t care about living beings, books can educate people.
With a lot of fine art I can see your point but Stonehenge as far as I understand is something we don’t understand the propose of and is so old I would hardly call it art anymore and moreso a historical site of study it might’ve been a art piece when new maybe it was a place of worship or maybe it was a home we don’t know so yea Id say vandalizing Stonehenge is absolutely on par with vandalizing a book but at least books in this time have plenty of carbon copies and easily replaced and duplicated but there’s only one Stonehenge and we don’t have the knowledge to replace or even repair it we don’t even know the full history of what it even was there’s unknown knowledge yet to be understood
Stonehenge disappears tomorrow, what actual difference does it makes in the life of 99.9999% of Earth’s population?
I will admit not much as most the value of Stonehenge is knowledge we don’t know yet but here we are getting up in arms over a vandalized public library which 99percent of the time carys 100 percent manufactured books you can go to your local library and destroy their copy of the giving tree and while your community will have to wait to be able to read the giving tree again your public library can always order a new copy of the giving tree and even if somehow every physical copy of the giving tree got destroyed you can go online and find a PDF scan of the giving tree and print it out to make a new copy of the giving tree meanwhile you can think of Stonehenge as a book in a forgotten language that no one can understand yet and before we can figure out what Stonehenge is trying to say someone burns it and while yeah nothing changes in our lives because we didn’t understand it yet but now that ass hole just prevented us all from ever getting the chance to understand and read the tail of Stonehenge I’m not even a millionaire but even I want to know the story but if Stonehenge got destroyed then I’d be depraved of the chance to read my version of the giving tree
