Barbarism knows no equivalence........just nutters demolishing statues.......
And money is just little bits of metal, and water is just oxidised hydrogen and the bible is just a book.
See? Take context away and the world suddenly becomes a simpler place!!
By the way, what does 'Barbarism' mean to you? To me, it's a lack of or abnegation of culture, an out and out renouncement. Which doesn't fit at all with what we are seeing; an evolution, a development in thought; exclusive to inclusive, rejection to acceptance, hate to love. As schmaltsy and idealistic as it sounds, it's what's happening. Only the blinkered don't want to see that.
