And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The Incredulity of Thomas ("Doubting Thomas") and other frescoes at Peribleptos Monastery in Mystras, which was founded by the despot Manuel Kantakouzenos and his wife Isabelle de Lusignan between the years 1365 and 1374.
Some of the artwork I have seen around just the British Isles blows my mind. What the human race has created in beauty art and engineering beggars the mind. There's these points of just fantastic expertise, of talent unmatched. Amazing.
To keep the West from getting "too cocky..." present-day and female fueled entertainment and art systems flood the senses with blatant propaganda, but not to celebrate the human condition and our mission to rise above evil, promote good, and cooperate with one another. Their goal is suppression of excellence and advancement of babble as philosophy, marketing shit as Shinola, and piss as lemonade.
That art is a beautiful example of the good that can come from the human experience.
And today the feminist-infected minds of so-called warriors for one imbecilic cause or another often defile such works of art, created by their ancestors, in order to draw attention to themselves.
