My thing it's like setting fires all over the place to distract from some bigger crime. The fires are still destructive and great resources will be spent putting them out. But don't let them get away with the bigger crime.

I think it’s important to remember that a lot of everyday people risked their lives hiding art from the Nazis. It’s a very powerful form of resistance to ensure that books, art, research, music, and media survive. You can start now. #history #nazigermany #worldwarii #resistance #fuckice
