The Fitzwilliam Museum has suggested that paintings of the British countryside evoke dark “nationalist feelings.” The museum, owned by the University of Cambridge, has undertaken an overhaul of its displays… The new signage states that pictures of “rolling English hills” can stir feelings of “pride towards a homeland.”
Dear God, not that.
There is no picture of Canada that would promote pride in my home, only contempt.
I thought rolling hills pictures made me think of female breasts.
Reminds me of a crude old joke about the location of Alberta’s bellybutton…….
It’s somewhere between Tawatinaw and Two Hills!
Yes, you can find both towns on the map!
Who in theee Sam Hill has time to sit around thinking this crap up?! Maybe the “cull the useless eaters” crowd has a point.
Me? I’m too busy fishing, making stuff in my workshop, lending a hand to family and neighbors, taking care of home repairs, mowing, gardening, and chit-chatting on blogs with interesting people all over the world who have some interesting ideas and observations.
I don’t have time to think up ridiculous nonsense like “Landscape paintings are RAAAAAAAYCCISSSSSS!!”
You can be pretty sure they are getting paid by government to do it, i.e. you and me.
They probably got college credit for it.
Those whom God would destroy He first makes mad. With all the madness we see in western society …. The end of said society is nigh.
Golly Joe, a thought and sentiment that is not overtly antisemitic.
Marxism / communism seeks to control everything, and it never sleeps.
“Concentrated minority interests will ALWAYS defeat dispersed collective majority interests in any system of government/institution that doesn’t terminate in an individual owner.”

“Call it RACISS till you own it.”
Evil Stupid Marxist ugly people.
Human Resource Offices are the cancer and DEI is the spread.
So… what’s wrong with dark nationalist feelings?
I feel a little bit judged, attacked…. how about everyone embrace diversity?
Ah yes, but the key there is EVERYONE embracing true diversity.
The current doctrine is that whities are not part of diversity, so anything that comes from whitie culture must be shunned as automatically evil and oppressive.
It’s the old thing about demonising and “othering” that which they might aspire to but know they will never attain, whether that’s because of laziness, learned helplessness, self-sabotage or believing that they really are discriminated against or incapable.
Is the museum racist, that they use “dark” as a pejorative?
Maybe the museum should welcome feelings of color.
Don’t sweat it.
I’m sure they will all be covered in tomato soup shortly.
I support the upper class getting all their stuff RUINED as much as they RUINED all our stuff.. Suffer the consequences much?..
Really.. The marxists wont be happy until museums go extinct.. As if they weren’t boring enough :)..
