#1 Yes. Isn't it obvious? Shakespeare's an apologist for colonialism, oppression, and a Christian apologist.

Next heads on the chopping block:
- Beethoven: toxic male.
- Lincoln: white supremacist.
- Bach, Milton, Rembrandt, Velazquez: militant Christians all; oppressors of women and non-whites.
- Tchaikovsky: binary, and a pre-revolutionary Russian therefore a de facto white supremacist.

#5 Re Dark Ages: Those who still value our great writers, artists and philosophers will be like the Irish 7th century monks, hiding out in islands in the Atlantic off the far western edge of Europe, scribbling away by candlelight, preserving the glorious texts from the barbarian hordes who've destroyed our great civilization and its institutions
