Context Matters- Jesus flips tables

Todays #contextmatters in Marxist meme Friday. In this clever post, the author is using bible history to prove that Jesus was an advocate of destroying OPP (other peoples property) as a valid form of protest. Is this another example of twisting Gods word to fit your personal narrative? Lets take a look. Who's property is this? Lets read the actual text: Matthew 21:12 And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 13He said to them, “It is written, ‘MY HOUSE shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers. Jesus calls it "MY house"...he's not destroying other peoples property, He's cleansing the property that belongs to Him of looters...I mean "robbers", and he has every right to do so...it's His. Is he advocating for marxists and ragers to go destroy Opp (other peoples property?). Sorry, no. Facebook fact checkers and snopes never seem to touch these posts, only ones related to doctors and scientists discussing Covid so...we'll just leave this here.
