Art and the Author
We must always remember to separate the art from the artist.
The attached picture is that of a painting, Mother Mary with the Holy Child Jesus Christ, oil on canvas, 1913 by Adolf Hitler. At first glance, it's not a bad painting. I'd actually saiy it's above average in quality, at least that's my opinion. Looking at this painting, you wouldn't think that it's author would be responsible for the massacre of 11-17 million people in Europe.
Why do politicians seem so against the gay agenda, and then it turns out they were closeted all along, going to gay orgies and eyes wide shut parties? Why do comedians always seem miserable in private? Why do "Social Justice Warriors" block streets and destroy property and lives, and then expect to live in society like nothing happened, and retain their privileges?
It's performance art. And you always have to remember to separate the art from the artist.

"We must always remember to separate the art from the artist" Why though? You can if you want, but the artist and their intent are an important part of art for me.
"SJWs" don't destroy lives, oppressive systems do, and you can't change those systems without pissing some people off.
Hitler was a shit artist.
What in the "I'm 14 and just got high for the first time" kind of post is this?
A wild misinterpretation of what I meant. Artist's intent and their work are separate from who they are as a person. You can appreciate the art without appreciating the person, and you can hate the art and don't mind a person. What kind of olympic jumps to conclusions are you doing here?
And I disagree, Hitler wasn't THAT bad of an artist. I bet you can't paint as good as he did. I for sure can't. It's not that I like the guy, Hitler was one of THE worst people in human history. I'm just trying to be objective.
