A parable

A famous museum had an inspiring, magnificent sculpture, said to be one of the greatest ever.  People came from all over the world to marvel at the artist's skill, and the sculpture's inspiration.

Then one day a pyrsyn of ambiguous gender, dressed in all black and wearing a mask, walked up to the magnificent sculpture, pulled a hammer out of their pants, and as the crowd watched, over the next 15 minutes proceeded to destroy the sculpture.

There were many men in the crowd who could have overpowered the pyrsyn with the hammer, yet no one tried to stop the pyrsyn--because the rulers had endlessly lectured that everyone had the right to be whoever they wanted, and to do anything they wanted.  And anyone who tried to stop people from doing whatever they wanted was prosecuted for being a "dangerous extremist" and imprisoned.

After destroying the sculpture, the pyrsyn calmly walked away and vanished into the city.

At first the people whose statements and writings shaped the opinions of the society weren't sure how they should react.  After all, the pyrsyn had destroyed what everyone agreed was a magnificent, inspiring, one-of-a-kind work of art, right?  So an obvious reaction was to condemn the destruction.

But then the most elite of the "elites" said "The pyrsyn who did this was merely expressing themselves.  And all good people agree that people have every right to do that.  Besides, it wasn't fair that only some people were able to afford to travel to see the sculpture in person, while others could only see pictures!  So the pyrsyn has actually done a Good Thing, by making everything more equitable."

And the near-elites--all of whom wanted to become full elites--nodded in agreement.  "By showing the sculptor's skill and imagination, the sculpture was an offensive reminder of White Supremacy," they said.   "The museum should have sold the piece to another museum and used the money to open safe sites for drug users."

As other near-elites saw the favorable reaction to these statements, they added their voices: "Art should not be inspiring.  In fact inspiring art is offensive.  All art should reflect the reality that many people face every day," they said.  "So the pyrsyn who did this should be given a Nobel prize."

Dynamic red-and-blue posters heroically depicting the pyrsyn destroying the sculpture began appearing on bus shelters and other public spaces.  Because governments didn't remove them, ordinary citizens realized that this meant they'd be prosecuted for removing them, so the posters remained.

The United Nations issued a report saying inspiring art "violated basic human rights," since only the well-to-do could actually see the art in person.  All governments eagerly supported the U.N. position.

And life--such as it was--went on.

The End.

Of course this is the U.S. under the bidenharris regime.  But no one cares.  Democrat: "No sculptures have been destroyed!  Dis just crazy-talk!"

You bet, sparky.
