it's so weird when the weathered platonic forms of timeless and eternal high culture are turned into garish kitsch by a new generation of retrograde history repairmen, but sure, delete the founding mythology of our civilization

Maybe the statues were coloured but I doubt something that exquisitely and realistically sculpted was painted like a pre-school art project. Surely it would've been done with equal skill?

nobody will discover our deeply profound exchange in such an obscure thread, so our failing modernist civilization, desperately picking up every stone to look for a solution to the ailments of its senescence, will miss the all important reference to maintaining founding myths

They'll run a search on twitter undoubtedly, but in order to save time they'll filter out any conversations with repeated adjectives.

The redundancy of 'in order' at any point in the thread is sufficient to eliminate all its participants in perpetuity from all meaningful world saving conversation on grounds of poor stylistic taste
