Such disrespect is definitely a provocation and most might be forgiven for reacting to such an affront and provocation . Not everyone has the hard discipline to turn the other cheek to Extremist provocations against our cultural heritage . Heritage that was once defended by Blood.
Provocation is a very subjective word.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a fan of XR. I’m more a climate indifferent type.

I think you old timers just take offence too easily at anything that disturbs your traditions. Traditions are just that, a tradition and not a law or even a societal norm. Actually the normal nowadays is to break tradition and do your own thing. I guess that is understandable as when younger you are looking forwards but once you get older you just look back on life and traditions become important.
