      It’s fairly well-known historical fact that fascists don’t understand art.

      I used to think that as well but when I discovered Dali absolutely fucked up and convoluted political views, well I don’t know anymore.

      Fucker refused to denounce the fascists. Sucked up to Franco and the king.

      Then again if anything it shows that conservatism is a mind virus and could infect anyone, especially as you get old. You have to be on guard, especially if you suffer surgery, a illness, stroke or cardiovascular disease.

      I have to admit the older I get the easier it is to succumb to lazing thinking, presumptions, prejudice, especially when you’re presented with limited information. You have to be actively reminding yourself to apply critical analysis, understand the subtext, thibm about what their not showing.

      I don’t forgive older people who are racist cunts. But I can see how easy it is to fall into that way of thinking.

      Protect your old people. Block fascist and racist channels on their YouTube and other social media when you’re asked to fix something. To into their email and block the domains of known racists.

      Clear, clean, their environment of the fuckers and back them up, pull them into a better politics.
