Profound

I found this on an art website. But it applies to much more than art. Think about the screeching about disenfranchisement and voter intimidation.

It is the oldest technique in the book for oppressors to accuse their victims of oppressing them.
[...]
Saying that we are doing that is really just a tactic they use to intimidate and suppress those with whom they don’t agree while they are actually doing what they accuse of the realists. If they can make people who don’t like their work fear being labeled as right wing extremists or “oppressors” then they have effectively silenced their opposition, in the name of freedom of expression. But for four generations, Modernist ideologues have controlled all the major museums in the free world and most of the minor ones. They control nearly every college and university art department, and their puppets and clones rule journalistic art criticism with total control. They receive all government funding, and their propaganda missives are called text books in secondary schools and college.

It applies to many things beyond art and voting as well.
