  • I was considering just not replying to this but I decided that this mindset makes me too sad.

    If an artist decides to include something in their work, it is likely going to be relevant in some way.

    To use the stupid meme example of “the curtains were fucking blue” your teacher wasn’t telling you that blue curtains = sadness, they were telling you to think critically about what the writer chose to include in the text.

    “The curtains were fucking blue” can be a valid interpretation, but the issue is when people stop their thinking at that surface level and ridicule any deeper analysis of a work.













  • That’s a really broad brush you got there. You can replace “liberals” with “people” here and be correct.

    Most people tend to passively accept the political positions of their surroundings, yes.

    Holy pedantry, you know exactly who I mean when I say liberals.

    But let’s say political liberals, including the ones on both sides of the US political spectrum, since you need to frame it in a US centric way.

    Even the most radical of the liberal thoughts in the world do not dare to think to address the fundamental issues with the socioeconomic system, though I guess that might be because they created it.

    Even in your comment you can see the complete lack of political imagination, or any attempt to strive towards anything but the status quo.
