When you see tweets from accounts like this, please keep in mind that they're intentionally perpetuating the VERY DISTINCTLY NAZI idea that modern art is "corrupt" or "degenerate."
Don't retweet them.

"Traditionalism" is 100% invented by facists and anti-Semitic pigfucks who want to pretend they have a monopoly on culture, which they fucking don't.
DO NOT give them any room. They're trying to push a racist, fascist, anti-Semitic, oppressive, regressionist worldview.

PragerU is one of the bigger "traditionalist" orgs online who does shit like this, and they are ideological poison for people who are INCREDIBLY vulnerable to being swayed towards fascism, racism, support for bullshit like white ethnostates, etc.
DO NOT GIVE THEM ATTENTION.

They do not care about art, history, or how we got where we are. They don't care about vulnerable people, and they want to create a very cherry-picked idea of what art, literature, and history are acceptable
They are dangerous crypto-fascists who will harm people you care about.

The people who use things like Norse runes/imagery to try and legitimize or somehow inject history into their neo-nazi organizations are doing the exact same thing as these people.
They are actively dangerous and lead to real world violence against vulnerable people.

On a very personal note:
I had a close friend who, through seeing stuff like this online, and interacting in day to day life with people who believe this shit, fell into this trap. He was one of my groomsmen at my wedding, I loved him, and now I can never talk to him again.

I don't want this to happen to other people. This is not just about art or protecting history. It's about keeping friends and family from falling into the trap of believing in harmful ideologies that harm vulnerable people like women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ folks.
