We must always remember to separate the art from the artist.

The attached picture is that of a painting, Mother Mary with the Holy Child Jesus Christ, oil on canvas, 1913 by Adolf Hitler.
At first glance, it's not a bad painting. I'd actually saiy it's above average in quality, at least that's my opinion. Looking at this painting, you wouldn't think that it's author would be responsible for the massacre of 11-17 million people in Europe.

Why do politicians seem so against the gay agenda, and then it turns out they were closeted all along, going to gay orgies and eyes wide shut parties?
Why do comedians always seem miserable in private?
Why do "Social Justice Warriors" block streets and destroy property and lives, and then expect to live in society like nothing happened, and retain their privileges?

It's performance art. And you always have to remember to separate the art from the artist.
