This was also noticeable during the Weimar years: newspapers (and judges) treated leftwing violent protests as a threat to the state’s continued existence, while shrugging off the violence of nazi street gangs as regrettable but in itself understandable.
Violent or destructive left wing protest is framed as delegitimising the protesters' stated cause.

Violent or destructive right wing protest is framed as emphasing the need for urgent action on the protesters' stated cause.

As always, right wing men are treated as elemental forces without agency.
This is a bit of a atretch/hope: there were 5 protests, with the largest two being up to 300 people, a total of around a thousand or so people.

Er kunnen oorlogen uitbreken, pandemieën, de paus kan sterven, er kan een meteoriet met angstaanjagende snelheid op de aarde af razen – het kan ze allemaal niks schelen, wij hebben het over asielzoekers.

This Sunday, I’ll be premiering my new piece ‘Machine Time’ at this brand new festival of electronic and experimental music in Derry.

Expect evolving microtonal interlocking feedback loops in a modular synthesiser, influenced by the machine music of Roland Kayn and Jaap Vink.

Man Ray's photographs of 19th-century three-dimensional models of algebraic and differential equations at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris are haunting insights into the potential of form.

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.

This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.

These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.
