The political correctness mob may have gone too far for even some woke Twitter addicts after the Swedish National Museum attached “warning labels” to classic pieces of art, warning of the dangerous “nationalism,” racism, and “patriarchal gender roles” allegedly conveyed by the master pieces.
In recent years adherents of cultural Marxist “woke” ideology have attacked various examples of Western civilisation, from statues, to flags to works of literature, with the enthusiasm of the most brainwashed Maoist youth of the cultural revolution in China.
Now, in Sweden, a country considered to be leading the way in the new cultural revolution sweeping the West, pieces of artistic genius now come with warnings with one such example being Gustaf Cederström’s world-famous painting “Bringing Home the Body of King Carl XII of Sweden”.
The stunning painting is now accompanied by a miniature social sciences treatise stating:
“The populist and nationalist view of Swedishness, which is used politically today, is based on the idea of a statically idealised and constructed past. The idea that there is a historical time and place to look back on, where everything was in a certain way, is not true.”
Anything which seems stir pride in Western civilisation or extol virtues such as Christian morality, patriotism and traditional values is now considered wrong think by the woke mob running rough shot over Western media and academic institutions.
Some commentators have asked, how long before these fanatics are not satisfied with warnings and actually insist on destroying these examples “Western chauvinism”.
