They are said to be cautionary tales for children, warning them about what can happen if you wander off alone or go with strangers. Pinocchio is the same way.
Either way, this statue is a hideous thing to have sitting outside in a public square. At least put it into a museum where its context can be explained.
Nope. There are statues to topple, for sure, but PLAQUE this guy to be sure the context isn’t missed.
We are not them, spoken as someone who believes firmly in obeying Mosaic Law.
Exodus 34:11-16
11 Observe that which I command you this day. Behold, I drive out before you the Amori, the Kana`ani, the Hittite, the Perizzi, the Hivvi, and the Yevusi.
12 Be careful, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare in the midst of you
13 but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherim
14 for you shall worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
15 Don't make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one call you and you eat of his sacrifice;
16 and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.
This was posted about the other day and an anon from Switzerland explained it was originally put up with benign origins. However knowing what we know now I can't personally justify such a piece having a place despite whatever contextual merit it may have originally had. And that takes a hell of a lot for me to say as I'm almost universally anti-censorship.
This is the kind of brigading BS I typically expect on r/Politics or some other Leftist hive. No one here has posted any information regarding what this statue is, what it is intended to symbolize, who sculpted it, or the historical context in which it was created. All of these things matter when discussing things like this. But no, someone comes in slapping modern epithets like "pedovore" (why not just call it racist, sexist, anti-gay like the Left do, and then do the same thing they do and tear it down?). We've got to be smarter than this.
I agree. This sort of reactionary, anti-art cultural philistinism is typical of the woke left. The old “lock this piece of cultural history away in a museum where we can put it in proper ‘context’” canard is such a PC reflex I can’t believe I’m hearing it repeated unironically on this board. This sculpture is actually quite based, and is a caricature of exactly the sort of globalist pedovores the Great Awakening is all about exposing. It dates back to a time when European communities were strong and recognized the real enemy. It’s actually amazing it still stands in plain view!
Shhhh, you aren’t supposed to look into things here. Just get mad at what others tell you to be mad at. Appeals to emotions and other such tactics have always and will always have massive success on this website.
Not commenting on the statue, but on the purpose of dark, scary fairy tales in our culture.
All good Fairy tales like Hansel and Gretel, Jack and the beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, etc. serve a developmental psychological function for small children. They love and crave these stories. All of these classic stories show children or weaker people entering the scary woods, facing danger from ogres, monsters, wolves, witches, etc, meeting helpful animals or spirits along the way, and eventually overcoming the bad guys. The primitive mind is in us all, and these tales help children develop the inner resources to overcome, not the outer scary things, but the scary monsters in their own hidden mind. The inner world in children is chaos, difficult to express or understand, and tales of monsters help them come to grips with that chaos, tame it, organize it and contain those wild energies.
Previous generations told these stories to children instinctively, yes to keep them from wandering into dangerous places, but also because children love these stories.
In our age of reading Goodnight Moon to kids, rather than Hansel and Gretel, is it any surprise that teens watch the most hideous horror movies out there? They need these scary stories, where a hero overcomes the dark monsters.
I’m beginning to think it’s bad for us to promote this whole good hero vs bad evil thing…..it makes us wrongly think some form of superiority, justification, retribution, vengence, etc. is the answer. It’s very deceptive….
Another thought… if we start wanting to topple statues in other peoples cultures, we are going down a road we don’t need to be on. Let the people of Switzerland, who understand the historical context, deal with their own statues.
The "Georgia guidestones" were private property, insofar as any vandals might be concerned. They were out of the way in an obscure part of the country and likely were unknown before their destruction. They were meaningless. Their destruction was not only criminal, but useless.
Those who think ANYTHING "needs to be taken out" are treading the path of totalitarianism, no different than the Taliban in their destruction of historic religious monuments, or the Nazis in their obliteration of "non-Aryan" published works. For which there is no end. We grind up all of history that does not conform to our mental filter, and burn books that offend us. Do we even tear out of the Bible the phrases quoted from Satan? This is the thinking of people who have no faith in the protection of Baptism or of the Holy Spirit.
The "kindlifresser" fountain. Nobody knows what meaning this implies, if it has any meaning other than a boogyman. A handful of theories, none more convincing than the others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindlifresserbrunnen
Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood ... hugely messed up stories for childrens stories??
Those stories actually had a lot of adult themes.
They are said to be cautionary tales for children, warning them about what can happen if you wander off alone or go with strangers. Pinocchio is the same way.

I understand... the kids would learn you might be lost and separated from your family... you might get eaten is over the top by cannibals
I see what you did there!
good call. i can see it both ways though, it's a warning to children as well as normalization.
The most terrifying of folklore monsters take human form
Pro-pedo propaganda?
These are the type of statues that need to be toppled!
And that one looks pretty easy....
I was going to say how has it not been taken out already?
That one needs to be toppled more than any other one on the planet
No - put it away in a museum. If you erase all this, it's forgotten and no one believes it any longer.
They should have saved one of the Ga. Guide stones ( English) & placed on public display in _______
That's why the elites destroyed the evidence.
On that same page, fren.
Destroying/falsifying history is a big part of how Team Evil got to where they are today. Need to make sure they can't do it again.

It was damaged recently...

Kinda like the Georgia Guidestones.
Hopefully this one will suffer the same fate....
They'll never find that silver sedan.....
Was put up as a warning to die juden iirc

God can strike them with lighting, like the Mural of George Floyd and possibly the George stones.
We don't have to do shit.
That's how comms work.
Except that the "guidestones" were blown up by a satchel charge. I'm fine with God's handiwork, however.
I've watched the vidio, it's not that clear.
But you can be sure God knows everything we write and pray for........

I saw an article the other day that this was defaced with red paint.
Ahem, Europe please Georgia Guide Stone's this thing. Cough, cough.
This is the sort of thing that confirms my impression that most of Communist Europe is run by the pedos, for the pedos, and of the pedos.
