Those Four Louvre Thieves: Global Pop Heroes or Symbols of Coming Dark Age

 The New York Times labels the jewel heist at the Louvre "brazen." Part of that were the simple logistics:

"The four thieves arrived on the south side of the Louvre on Sunday morning at 9:30 and pulled a truck up on the sidewalk, right next to the museum walls. They posed as workers, wearing yellow vests and setting out traffic cones."

And, eight pieces of history were snatched away. Some speculate they will never be recovered. Those in that criminal network will probably break down the ornate configurations into what can be easily sold. 

Impressive, isn't it, at least from one perspective. 

That perspective is this. In these times of worldwide unrest about the inequality of wealth and even basic job opportunities, the four could be celebrated as pop heroes. 

They are the Bonnie and Clyde of  2025. Their getaway were motor scooters, not the car those bank robbers tooled around in during The Great Depression. They showed the elite. They hustled in a way that Nepo Babies wouldn't be able to. That ethos reminds us of how the upper crust are featured in the 1990 film "People Like Us." (The movie is streaming on free platform Tubi.)  

But another perspective is that such disrespect for culture signals the values of the coming Dark Age. Civilization lost a big chunk of its history. Likely gone forever is that specific kind of beauty. Earlier dark ages ranged from early medieval times to the Third Reich. In the tarot The Tower Card captures that collapse.

Meanwhile the four thieves could become very rich. Isn't that what too many really admire?
