Jonathan Emmesedi<p>🧵 3/3</p><p>...Oz 28, the School Kids issue, with its notorious comic strip of a priapic Rupert Bear and full page photo of a miniskirted schoolgirl captioned "jail bait of the month" ?</p><p>"The case of Schoolkids Oz", a well informed and thoughtful historical essay by David Buckingham, has certainly helped me think about this particular moment in British history. I agree with the author that the legacy of the Oz trial and the British counterculture more generally is mixed; we can look back and see both appalling sexism and a laudable sexual emancipation, protoneoliberalism and a cooperatavism that deserves re-examination and perhaps celebration or even revival.</p><p>We might also pause to consider the progressivism of today. As we look back with distaste at the promotion of "jailbait of the month", can we be confident that some of the campaigns and rhetoric of progressives today will not prompt a similar recoil in future decades?</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/RichardNeville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RichardNeville</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Oz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oz</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/OzSchoolKidsIssue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OzSchoolKidsIssue</span></a><br><a href="https://c.im/tags/Progressivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Progressivism</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Counterculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Counterculture</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://davidbuckingham.net/growing-up-modern/children-of-the-revolution-the-hippy-counter-culture-the-idea-of-childhood-and-the-case-of-schoolkids-oz/the-case-of-schoolkids-oz/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">davidbuckingham.net/growing-up</span><span class="invisible">-modern/children-of-the-revolution-the-hippy-counter-culture-the-idea-of-childhood-and-the-case-of-schoolkids-oz/the-case-of-schoolkids-oz/</span></a></p>

I was upset and saddened by the readiness of "progressive" activists to destroy a major work of art held in trust not just for the citizens of the UK but for everyone. This act of vandalism is symptomatic of one of the most unattractive aspects of the British left, a sanctimonious philistinism noted by Matthew Arnold back in the 1860's as widespread amongst the British middle classes. The roots of this "progressive" philistinism could probably be traced back further, to the iconoclasm of Protestant zealots and early modern republican theorists inveighing against the corrupting power of luxury.</p><p>I strongly support decarbonization, moving from private to public transport, egalitarian redistributions of wealth and power, and extensive socialization of the economy - but the politics of the left should not entail or seem to entail a Taliban like assault on shared art, history, and pleasures both public and private.</p><p>(In case you're wondering, I don't think the 1914 slashing of the Rokeby Venus by suffragette and future fascist Mary Richardson is anything to celebrate either.)</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Velasquez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Velasquez</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NationalGallery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NationalGallery</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CulturalPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/RokebyVenus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RokebyVenus</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Progressivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Progressivism</span></a></p>
