Within a few days, the third world-famous painting was poured with liquid by young people protesting under the pretext of climate change, but it is possible that by the time this little article appears, there will already be a fourth or fifth such case. An itch to stand out, spontaneous cultural terror or the new chapter of cancel culture after the BLM hysteria? - asks the question on the website of the Hungarian Christian Democratic Union (MKDSZ).

Recently, climate protection activists poured tomato juice over Van Gogh's Sunflowers in the National Gallery in London, Monet's most expensive painting in the Barberini Museum in Potsdam, and mashed potatoes.

Promotions under the pretext of global warming cannot be said to be revolutionary or original. Today, everyone knows that green radicalism is not a romantic innovation of tree-hugging hippies living in eco-houses, but a

an internationalist political product that can be used for social engineering purposes, just like idiot-looking activists who glue their own bodies to the museum floor are not heroes, but only servants of the global system, who can be sold for anything for fifteen seconds of fame

- writes the MKDSZ, and then added, just like in the case of the well-known left-wing action groups (Femen, Antifa, BLM), here too it is most likely the so-called it is about astroturfing, i.e. the scripted movement of pseudo-groups organized from above, even if these groups - according to the rules of imitation - may later reproduce on their own. In their article, they pointed out that a typical European Green Party today wastes a maximum of a quarter of what it says on environmental protection, while the rest of its time deals with things such as supporting the mixing of people, the dictatorship of opinion, or the rise of various perversions and identity disorders. The MKDSZ emphasized that, knowing the well-proven campaign strategies and the strong embeddedness of the European green parties, the question arises: what is the need for eco-radicalism disguised as a movement after all this, and especially for such a coarsening of the tools used?

There are two logical explanations for the proposition.

On the one hand, in the increasingly loud media noise, in the age of increasingly vulgar and loud manifestations, the expected communication effect can only be achieved with blatantly shocking messages, writes mkdsz.hu. On the other hand, the main goals themselves have also become radicalized, as can be deduced from the real (unofficial) messages of the actions, as well as from the adaptation of these messages to contemporary ideological trends.

The message of van Gogh's and Monet's painting is nothing but that the masterpieces of human civilization, including those of Western civilization, are no longer sacred.

The fact that the most valuable creations of our predecessors can now be defamed without consequence with any vulgar text or lofty-sounding pretext. The sight of flames engulfing Notre Dame and other French churches is now a thing of the past: a new chapter has begun. Anyone who thought that abolitionist culture stopped at burning, knocking down, or desecrating symbols of Christianity or "white supremacy" (whatever that means) was sorely mistaken.

- they write, adding that the perpetrators hid behind the slogan of climate protection, but it could easily be that the crimes are already lined up on a laptop or in a drawer of an oak desk, which over time - Christians, right-wingers, whites, heterosexuals or even Russian athletes and pianists - then they can read on the minds of modern, secularized Europe.

The now attacked paintings were protected by a glass wall, which prevented irreparable damage. Let us hope that there will be no more serious attacks (as we also hope that the perpetrators will be punished by example), and what we hope even more is that our current hypothesis about planning and organization is just a wrong intuition, and that only a few lone madmen have temporarily disrupted civilized society. nerves of the world. The only question is whether someone will one day break through the glass wall of tolerance of local societies and communities. Seeing the rapid decline of European civil societies, and taking into account the fact that civil self-awareness in principle also includes the ability and intention to protect our values, unfortunately, it may easily be that this wall no longer exists for some time. Or is it just us who can't see it because it's made of glass? It would be best if this didn't even have to be revealed - they close the article.
