I also wonder if more radical type of protests don’t end up pushing « moderates » into espousing contrary views or perhaps even physical actions against the radicals or whatever the radicals advocate. Perhaps that’s what the radicals seek, i. e in a Leninist « the worse, the better » adventure. But not sure such an approach would be either good politics or good policy.
Pedantic nonsense. Destroying art is never acceptable and by definition there is nothing moderate about this act. The media has been fully subordinated to politics and until you can control for the progressive bias in most of media this is reinforcing extremism.
In case you missed the news, or willfully choose to misrepresent - no art was destroyed by protestors. It's radical protest, but that hasn't damaged any artwork.
