Its just a building, I am more concerned about the destruction of human rights.
It's symbolic. Apparently saying the quiet part out loud isn't enough anymore, now they're performing metaphors to make it really sink in
The destruction of the east wing is the pointless and haphazard destruction done to the government. The great Gatsby party was a feast celebrating people starving. A ballroom bigger than the white house is promise the president will keep the rich having fun first and foremost
The building itself doesn't matter... But the kind of president that would destroy a national monument just cause is the kind of president that doesn't care about our country, let alone human rights
Why not both?
Because I don't hold them equally valuable.
I meant this as in the direction of the United States.
so if someone destroyed part of your garage you're cool with it?
I mean, it's not like you live in it.
My garage is detached and has been leaning at a 20 degree angle since I bought the house, they would be doing me a favor. I get your point, I am not happy about it either but it comes no where close to important as people being literally disappeared right now.
