“Treason doth never prosper, what’s the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason.”
Left-wing terrorism likewise never prospers, because if it prospers, it’s just the government.
Why do leftists feel like they can pull down statues, attack federal buildings, shut down airports, stage nationwide race riots, and vandalize classic art with impunity?
Because they are the regime. They’re simply outside arms of the regime accelerating its work for it. And while the regime will rarely say it. It will, for example, swear up and down on a stack of little red books that there were no race riots (mostly peaceful), that Islamic terrorism doesn’t exist (just misunderstandings) and that Stalin was just a misunderstood idealist who didn’t kill anyone (neither did Fidel or Mao), but sometimes when caught absolutely red-handed, the regime will explain that it actually wants leftist violence to achieve its goals.
You may remember the eco-vandals who have been attacking art masterpieces around the world.
A Dutch court of appeals has decided that a small group of climate activists who received two month in jail for gluing themselves to Johannes Vermeer‘s The Girl with the Pearl Earring no longer need to serve their sentence.
According to CNN, the court said that the three activists, who are part of the protest group Just Stop Oil Belgium, spent 23 days in holding cells leading up to the trial. The court ruled that additional prison time “would have been excessive.”
The court added that doling out a severe punishment might have a “chilling effect,” and that it wanted to ensure that those who want to peacefully protest or exercise their right to freedom of expression aren’t discouraged.
Suffice it to say that if the vandals had been attacking art (or even painted some graffiti) to protest against EU carbon taxes or Muslim migration, every book in Europe would have been thrown at them with zero concern about a “chilling effect”.
But with its own red kind, the court comes out and states that it doesn’t want to discourage more eco-vandals from trying to destroy the effects of the industrial revolution.
It’s worried that actually enforcing the law against its own ideological allies might have a “chilling effect” on such peaceful protests as vandalizing classic art.
Why doth domestic terrorism never prosper? Why if it prosper, none will call them domestic terrorists.

Stalin was an interesting character. He loved to hunt and trap small animals. Later he did the same to humans.
Siddi Nasrani says
I have just recently read this book, brilliant & frightening read.
Simon Montefiore’s acclaimed biography of Stalin during the decades of his rule. Montefiore’s portrayal shows that Stalin’s triumphs and crimes were a product of his fanatical Marxism and his deeply flawed character.
I used to call Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, etc, all MAD, but eventually realised they were not mad, as a mad person does not know what they are doing. These people know very well what they were doing, so that
makes them EVIL.

FDR called Stalin his Uncle Joe a Russian Submarine Torpedoed a German Hospital Ship near the end of WW II

The next time, remove all the art, leave them glued to the wall, give them a couple of gallons of water, turn off the lights, lock the doors, and come back a week later.

And pee on them if they get thirsty.
Noah Andeark says
How about remove the art, and for the sake of the environment, use copper instead of lead?

“The court added that doling out a severe punishment might have a “chilling effect,” and that it wanted to ensure that those who want to peacefully protest or exercise their right to freedom of expression aren’t discouraged” The jail time should do exactly that…at LEAST a chilling effect on these useful idiots and vandals who get to display their delusional ignorance and narcissism, supported by a fawning press.

Reminds me of when Jerry Nadler said Antifa was just a myth.
Jeff Bargholz says
Jerry Nadler. That garden gnome. He doesn’t even have a waistline, just pants hiked up to his man boobs like an old and extremely disgusting version of “Revenge of the Nerds,” but with none of the charm, just sleaze and grease.

JN could not possibly believe the things he says.

The West is killing itself with what it fancies as “kindness.” In reality it is simply pusillanimity.
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
Those magnamimous high court appeals judges should give these eco-vandals the job of house-minding their houses whilst they are on leave. Now that would most admirably serve justice. Justice of the poetic kind.
