What motivates someone to tear down the poster of a person being held hostage in another country, even a fellow citizen? Why are we seeing so many leftwing pro-Palestinian activists engaging in this disturbing behavior?
Noam Blum has some ideas.
Noam Blum (@neontaster) ~ Tearing down hostage posters is motivated by the same mindset that shouts down speakers at colleges. It's what you do when you're small-minded, too intellectually feeble to defend your position, and terrified that you might see or hear something that'll make you reexamine it.
Pradheep J. Shanker (@Neoavatara) ~ Its a form of fascism; trying to suppress the speech and opinions of others.
That makes sense ... because they ARE Nazi-lovers.
Seth Frantzman (@sfrantzman) ~ And even worse because they are ripping down photos of children. It takes a special kind of genocidal hate to want to erase child victims. Shouting down an adult, the adult can shout back, but erasing a child who is held hostage is next level vile.
The left has a long tradition of viewing silencing others as activism. They tear down flyers of events, shout down speakers, demand controversial voices be deplatformed and quite literally anything else to try and shut up opinions they think are bad.
This is no different.
Curtis Johnson (@cjohnson999) ~ Like so many other things, requiring your opposition to shut up is the only way you can win when your ideas are wrong.
Democrats are infantile, insecure cowards.
