By "too sensitive" I don't mean "no empathy". On the contrary, I'm promoting empathy, to understand eachother and live along eachother even with our faults. My definition of " too sensitive" is more along the lines of "spoiled", "self centered", "haven't been in to the real world and different parts of the world that much".
I can def appreciate that, I'm sure that is what you mean. But sometimes when we say something, people hear something different. I dont wanna nit-pick your meaning, and we were talking about Dali. I just feel a lot of affinity for people who are silenced in society, and "stop being so sensitive," which isn't what you said, is often used in exactly that way.
if we sympathise with fascists we allow them to enter a society that should be free of fascism. I don't think anything is lost by showing Dali's contribution to art by noting his repeated and deliberate embrace of a hateful ideology.
