Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

There are only a few countries in the world where an art fair director could even conceivably have such opinions. And America hasn’t been one of them in quite a while.
Still, our cancel culture stepped in and did its job.
Bart Drenth has resigned as global managing director at Tefaf less than six months after taking on the role at the Dutch company, which owns and runs Tefaf Maastricht and Tefaf New York art fairs, in December….
Drenth’s resignation comes days after Artnet News posted an article which chronicled his “anti-woke” Tweets (his account @bardrenth has since been made private). Annie Armstrong translated the Tweets, originally written in Dutch. One, posted in August 2022, reportedly read: “Just as with the Iranian revolution in 1978, left-wing do-gooders stand hand in hand with jihadists. Not knowing that after the success of the revolution they will die first.”
Other tweets, according to Artnet News, read: “Speculating about the transition of the population is only a problem when you are not a Muslim,” and: “Woke is the new Westboro: Hyper-Calvinistic hagglers.” Another said: “Really, your L+ rights are best protected if you are waving around Palestinian flags on the pride parade.” And, last month, Drenth reportedly wrote: “Normalise criticism of the Quran and the Prophet.”
Muslims will kill you for saying such things, wokes will just see to it that you’re forced out of your job.
You’ll be absolutely surprised to learn, I’m sure, that Annie Armstrong has done nothing except blog for assorted publications, including Vice, and has now hit the big time, not by creating something, but by destroying it.
Islamists and leftist wokes have that in common. Incapable of creating, all they can do is destroy.

Build back better, after they tear everything down. Except, they don’t know how to build.
That’s actually what happened to a lot of advanced ancient civilizations. Vanished in the dust.

Like the Mycenaens, right? They left mighty works of architecture but everything else was lost, including their writing.
I wonder what they were like and how their culture was extinguished.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah, me too. Magnificent structures.

I was thinking of the “Sisters of Perversion” that are hooked up with the LA Dodger, and what they could do if they really wanted to be “edgy”. One of the “sisters” could dress as the pedophile pig-faced dog mohammed the “prophet” of the gutter cult of (p)islam. Not THAT would be edgy!! Talk about mocking religion!! But…..they’re cowards. They know that Catholics will only pray for them and their souls. muslims will chop you up into little tiny pieces, because (p)islam is a violent and horrible “religion”.

History is replete with conquerors who stripped their victims of wealth, then descended into poverty. Perhaps this is our Creator’s way of gently suggesting they focus their attention on things not of this world, lest their possessions rust and be corrupted. All life is like grass that withers and is cast into the fire.
I used to claim to be tolerant, because I was aware of so much that was intolerable. Now I offer advice to the young: tolerance is collaboration with the enemy that wants to steal your soul.

Yes, life is brief and many people want to take advantage of you.
