Heard it a few times and it certainly seems like something that would happen but is there any proof or real world examples?

Can an Appraiser just make something worth $20m based purely on their say so?

EDIT: Thanks some great replies! and yeah i was asking more about the tax evasion part than the 'modern art is bad lol' angle.

      Almost every meme circle has direct ties to neo-nazis. It's all a big grooming scheme.

      Get people to laugh, make them want to fit in, then hit them with the Jewish Question.

          My take is that comedy has deep ties to the far right but it doesn't inherently have to.

          Maybe, lefty memes have been doing a number on their stranglehold. Sadly as long as liberals remain in majority control (they're propping them up) those communities are here to stay.

          There's a reason why looking up your favorite meme on google gets you literal Nazi shit, and it isn't because the Nazi memes are more popular.

            So… 5-10 more years tops, or forever if Gen X starts uploading their brains to the internet or some slag like that.
