This seems like censorship of history disguised as entertainment and collective action.

I don't get why they equate Picasso with Hitler. That seems pretty extreme.

Anyway, this news comes the same day as a story about protesters throwing soup at a Van Gogh painting, which includes other examples of the same group pretending ruining art is going to make people stop using oil. (Besides, how much oil did they use to get to and from the galleries in order to pull these stunts anyway?)

What is all this focus on destroying art about all of a sudden? Are we too good for our cultural past now?

That seems non-sensical! What about Picasso, either as a person or as a painter, is sinful?

Anyways, I consider this entertaiment as harmful as Roman Circus and crucifixions.

Where they burn books, they will too in the end burn people.

But these are paintings, not books, so no worries.
