They erased Banksy’s mural in London — just like they erase Gaza’s story every day. 💔
@streetartutopia It's vandalism under UK law, isn't it? (I'm from Germany)

@voxel @streetartutopia
It's waaaaay worse than that.

In Dante Alighieri's Inferno, violence against art is a sin punished in the seventh circle of Hell alongside violence against God and Nature.

Just sayin'.

@clintruin @streetartutopia I meant the artwork and its position itself.

@voxel @clintruin @streetartutopia Does just the fact that it’s illegal matter for any sane discourse? It was illegal to leave East Germany without permission. It’s illegal to insult Erdoğan in Turkey.

At the same time, as I understand it, it’s in theory illegal to do Nazi things in Germany today, but since Nazis are walking around unpunished, is it really illegal in practice?

I think so.

I'm unaware.
