But it's not an insult as much as it is a simile.

Essentially, the philosophy of this insult is that "wife" is a metaphor for your culture/background/civilization (in this case the Western civilization), and someone who is a "kind and sensitive person" is letting someone else fuck it while he watches it helplessly.

It has absolutely nothing to do with an attack at the person's marital life.

When I read the gibberish you post, I always wonder "is he incoherent because he is bad at explaining things, or because he is bad at understanding things?" 

Learn the meaning of simile before misusing it again, please.

now there's a term that has lost immense value during the last half-century or so.

Yeah? The term was highly valued in 1966? The Situationists were in full swing at that time, so I think you'll have to go back further than that... probably more than a century, given Duchamp's readymades and other Dadaists art were going strong in the 1910s.

Maybe a century-and-a-half ago? That's when those dastardly impressionists were establishing themselves in contrast to academic painters.

How's this different from the Situationists?

Also does that make AbEx the high water mark for art?

But it's not an insult as much as it is a simile.

Essentially, the philosophy of this insult is that "wife" is a metaphor for your culture/background/civilization (in this case the Western civilization), and someone who is a "kind and sensitive person" is letting someone else fuck it while he watches it helplessly.

It has absolutely nothing to do with an attack at the person's marital life.

Okay, stay the fuck out of our culture.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

What would be the appropriate metaphorical insult for someone not particularly kind nor sensitive who cheers on someone as he fucks over one's culture?

It seems quite a few of the Alt-right take it literally.

Er, ok?

Did you take time to create this collage? Why don't you make another one with BLM leftists calling for killing of cops?
