Your Michangelo's Pieata was an excellent choice for this article. Michelangelo claimed that the block of Carrara marble he used to work on this was the most “perfect” block he ever used, and he would go on to polish and refine this work more than any other statue he created. http://www.italianrenaissance.org/michelangelos-pieta/
The Woke had to go and ruin our Mother's/Father's day,
Woke Corporations Pushing to Cancel Mother's Day Notifications, May Be 'Sensitive'
BOYCOTT KAY'S IS 1 OF THE BIGGEST ADS FOR EXPENSIVE JEWELRY.
According to a Twitter thread by Arizona Informer, at the end of April, companies such as DoorDash, Kay’s Jewelers, Fry’s Food Stores and Levi’s allowed their patrons to avoid promotional material about Mother’s Day because the leftist companies felt that the holiday and the concept of motherhood may be too “sensitive” for some people.
Some people, however, praised the woke companies for their decision because the holiday may indeed be difficult for some people.
Isn't it paradoxical that MLK wanted people to be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin? That concept has disappeared just like cursive and rotary phones.

It all started by destroying the tarnished images of the South. I wonder how well these nincompoops will weather the future. Thankfully I won't be around to see how far the little social experiment will go. I think we're in the Twilight Zone when George Floyd is a paragon of virtue and Robert E. Lee is a scumbag. Our silence, driven by the fear of being called a racist, has brought us to a very dark ugly place.
The point of all this is to tear western civilization down past it's foundations. They are just getting warmed up I think. They don't care about what people over 30 think about any of this because the target audience for this is young and very impressionable people. THEY know that if they have these peoples minds in their thrall the future is theirs. The quality of society has always been dependent on how well we, supposedly wise, adults pass on truth, beauty, and wisdom to the next generation. This process so essential to the continuity of civilization has had a wrecking ball taken to it by the hijacking of almost all education and its transformation into pure manipulation and mind control. The actual techniques of mind manipulation are part of nearly every public school curriculum now in the form of "social and emotional learning" (SEL they call it) and every other technique in the book. This is the culmination of a century of psychological research into how to manipulate and control the masses. Parents send their precious children into this psychological meat grinder everyday and wonder why they are becoming strangers? Anyway, this is the Kabbalist philosophy of "creative destruction" on full and very effective display. I wish more people could understand that this is the final battle in a war that we seem to be losing. They believe they must destroy everything to build their, Phoenix rising from the ashes, New World Order.
The emphasis is all on decline and decay. Beauty is old-fashioned. Ugliness and darkness dominate the art world. Classical architecture is replaced with Brutalism and depression. Dance is no longer uplifting and graceful, it's lewd and vulgar. They idolize monsters like Alfred Kinsey and Karl Marx, immortalizing Kinsey in a statue at Indiana University. The WEF praises music only a psychopath can appreciate. It has no words, only noise. The New World is lunacy. It's not humanity, it's transhumanity. Will we accept it?
Frederick, I look back and one of the best things I ever did in my life was singing in really good choirs in High School and College. There was nothing better or more immersive than actually learning and performing pieces like Handel's Messiah or the simply awe inspiring Beethoven's 9th symphony with the full orchestra. Traveling all over Texas performing this was one of the best things I ever did in my life. These are the things THEY want to destroy.
We occasionally watch The Voice, and many of the contestants have beautiful voices. But the songs are generally horrible; no melody, words of Victimhood and misery. Apparently they are the popular music of today. Completely forgettable with no joy.
The only "art" that gender identitarians produce is pornography. Everything else they make is an act of cultural vandalism.
Could not agree more!
Did not "get" Andrea Dworkin's criticism of porn until I saw the internet.
My friend is a talented lady, she made this quilt, https://scontent.fjbr1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/345628792_918967335998671_2397811043935856033_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg&_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=ozhTqSkRu08AX9-svIe&_nc_ht=scontent.fjbr1-1.fna&oh=00_AfCvDmeX3Rgm-3naSeOeI4MlPkH2XMZ1Kw9rstK15fQvYw&oe=64643742

Great essay! Tell Bill thank you. It is time sane, decent people just say enough is enough! No more!

Yes, they turn everything upside down and inside out.
Fantastic comment !

Oh my the 9th!! Play it loud to make the Woke melt like the Wicked Witch! https://youtu.be/X6s6YKlTpfw
Yes, I bet it represents everything they despise. Majesty and sheer joy. I can always hear the Ode to Joy in my head so clearly.

Most popular culture now is purely nihilistic and nothing but negativity.
Great points! I wonder how they will desecrate everything not made by "them." Including us.
