>If you're saying these events that are part of the public record didn't happen, you're straying into the kind of thinking of Holocaust deniers...
>So you're imagining a world where people can just be assholes, walk into your house and take things, kick you out of your own house if they're stronger, where anyone can do whatever they feel like, because nobody will ever be punished for breaking a law because there's nobody to enforce any rules.
>That's a pretty weak form of "value", is what I'm saying. You like something, but you don't want to have to go to any effort or sacrifice to get it. So if you weren't able to get it without giving anything in exchange, you would just do without. That doesn't sound like you like the art THAT much. It also in no way acknowledges the time, effort and practice an artist goes to in order to produce interesting art. I simply don't get any sense that you really feel much value in artists or their work.
