When the current Democrat distraction technique - destroying public art - has played out, what next?

*Bad* men mustn't have statues in public places.

And since all men - and women - are *bad* in some or many ways, it follows that we must have no statues in public places.

But when this mission of fascist distraction, censorship and obliteration is accomplished, what must next be destroyed?

Films which portray *bad* men and women such as Gone with the Wind, All About Eve, Cleopatra, The Godfather, The Red Badge of Courage, Goodfellas, Malcolm X, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Monster, Mommy Dearest, Alien, Thelma & Louise, Frost/Nixon, The Desert Fox, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan - the list is endless - would seem the obvious next step.

And then plays.

Medea, Antigone, Oedipus Rex, The Merchant of Venice, Othello, Emperor Jones, Porgy and Bess, Native Son, A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, Long Day's Journey Into Night, Cabaret, Angels in America, August: Osage County, Ruined, Hamilton - these are but a few of the more grossly offensive examples.

So when that's done, what's next?

I think books.

The Bible (of course), Huckleberry Finn, 1984, Tintin, Farenheit 451, Soul On Ice, The Color Purple, Bonfire of the Vanities - this list is endless as well.

There is much to destroy, and much to be distracted from.

But what's next into the woodchipper & onto the bonfire?

 

These bedwetting commies are so stupid that they damaged a memorial commemorating the 54th Regiment in the Boston Commons.
"The Shaw memorial depicts likenesses of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, the first black volunteer infantry unit in the Civil War, which fought after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation."

My door is locked for your safety.

 

YET they still have up statues, buildings and roads named and memorials to Robert E. Byrd. HYPOCRITES.......

 

Trump better hope these "distractions" keep attention off how crappy the economy really is, cause as soon
as that begins to take center stage, Trump's last claim of any competence goes out the window.

$7 trillion added to the debt in just 3 1/2 years (by comparison, Obama added $8.9 trillion in 8 years).
Unemployment rise from 4% to 13%. (by comparison, Obama years saw the unemployment rate drop from 10% to 4.7%)
GDP was -4.8% for the first quarter of 2020 and estimates are GDP will be around -40% growth for the second quarter (by
comparison, the GDP was -8% growth at the height of the last recession in 2007-0.

 

What public art was destroyed? A statue to Jefferson Davis erected in 1936 in Kentucky is no more public art than a Statue of Stalin erected in Kapustastan in 1946 is public art.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if public humiliations are coming:

 

Today, the statues.

Tomorrow, the cinema.

The day after, the theater.

Then, the library.

Vote Democrat 2020

 

I think it will become more serious than that very soon.

 

C. Byrd.

And of course they're hypocrites.

Very dangerous hypocrites.

 

I see you're confused about the topic of the thread...

See the OP for more information.

 

Well, it all needs destroyed.

Vote Democrat 2020

 

LOL -- It's Trump's fault.

 

How utterly bizarre.

Reparations need to happen, but all this other ****...

 

It's already gone from Confederate statues to one of Lincoln.

So predictable...

 

So, qualification of public art is subject to YOUR opinion. Got it.

 

Your understanding of art is lacking. Art is an observation of history, a record of human activity and a tangible object that inspires debate. Destroying it in a rage achieves nothing.

 

That’s exactly what isis would have said about the statues they tore down.

And what we are gonna say about the Kehinde Wiley statues and monuments of MLK when your side finishes blowing your wad and lose all public support.

 

Qualification of what us public art or even what is art is subject your, mine, and my neighbor's opinion. One person's nude painting of a beuitiful woman is art but another person's all nudes are pornography.

 

I agree that it is- and you are entitled to destroy that art IF IT BELONGS TO YOU PERSONALLY.

Any other act to deface, degrade or destroy is criminal. But, crime is what these people are celebrating. They don't demand to be free of it, they demand the right to do it to others without consequence.
How original. Or would be, if it were not the same thing gangs all over the world want.

 

I am not advocating destroying the statues of Confederates or even the silly Lincoln statue in Boston. I also had opined that this is not a good time to add statue busting or statue removal as we are grappling with how and how far to go and solve the police abuse problem. We also need to define what us and what us not police abuse. Obviously not every person Black or White stopped by police us abused and not every Black shot by police is a homicide victim.

 

I'd like to see all politicians and officials that have police policy or oversight authority, and all media people who want to bash the police, be required to spend time on patrol with officers- and do so until they have experienced several confrontations; be directly present during family disturbance calls, man with a gun, etc- and get a good exposure to what a cop has to deal with. Let them stand in line at a protest, have urine thrown in their face and bricks thrown at them, and see if they still think cops can always be nice to everybody at all times. See if they want the job.

 

Actually...

If one owns art, one has a moral and legal duty to act in accordance with its preservation.

Some good points otherwise.

 

That of course would depend on the "art". I read where some university paid 30K for an arrangement of bricks. It was shipped to them- a crate of bricks with instructions on arranging them. Some art is a little more artistic that others.

 

You'd be amazed...

When you purchase or accept a donation of art, you enter into a contract of reasonable care.

 

These fools didn't accept a donation- they paid 30 grand for around 60 bricks and a drawing to lay them on the floor. Hardly art.
