These people are utter cunts.

All this does is annoy people and potentially damage the actual art. If they threw soup at oil execs or something, at least it’d be somewhat related to their message. But attacking paintings does nothing.

If I saw that in a museum, I’d punch them in the mouth.

A Gaza Sausage sounds like a terrible warcrime euphemism, like ‘Bigeard’s shrimp‘.

And Jedi is actually recognised as an official religion in the US. And there’s plenty of people who identify as Jedi in the UK as well. So one could certainly argue that it’s violating someone’s religious beliefs by not allowing that name. At least Luke Skywalker has some evidence of existing…

While that’s what I feel in my heart too - every dead invader is a joyful event - you generally don’t want to do that.

You WANT opposition troops to surrender. In fact, you want to make that the most preferred option for them. If Russian troops would know that surrender only results in death, they basically HAVE to keep fighting. Which is what you don’t want.

That’s also why Russian soldiers were told that ‘Ukrainians are nazi’s who will kill you if you surrender’: it’s a lie to make surrender unattractive.

As much as it pains me to say this, it really is the best option to keep them alive.

Exactly that. Even though within scientific circles, they’ll still refer to it as monkeypox since that’s the name everyone knows and is referenced in scientific data.

Basically, it’s not really a ‘real’ name change, more something that the media is kind of going along with so nobody gets offended by their use of it. 🤷‍♂️
