State

Some people need to learn that the state did not invent culture, airplanes or art, nor did it do your work or raise your children. Humans did that.

The painting you are looking at was created ten failed governments ago & protected from them. The architecture you praise and is even legally protected would be illegal to be raised again today. The german state willing full paid for destruction of many rare apple trees and orchard meadows just a few decades ago. Now they are rare.

Its a destructive force and our culture does not exist because, but despite.

You may like to be governed, but the state is no god.
