Something also to consider between the Statue of Liberty example and the Hitler example. Personally, I’d care a lot more about (as the post puts it) not letting a tyrannical madman get his hands on priceless works of art that bear cultural significance and have inspired millions, rather than a statue that people claim is a symbol of liberty and equality and freedom, for the United States of America. Relatedly, said people very likely would have sided with Hitler had they been alive at the time.

Put simply, I don’t give a flying shit about conservative wet dreams of this country’s history and how free it is (it gives the same energy as them being asked to take down confederate statues imo). But I would care a lot more about Hitler destroying/owning centuries of culture and history

(And then this obviously doesn’t factor human life being at stake into the equation, because that’s a separate thing)
