Walter Benjamin, nearly a century ago now, established a fundamental argument that most cultural critics of today have forgotten or simply gloss over: fascism twists art into a simple aesthetic rather than understanding art as a means to express change in the material conditions of the culture and its people.

We are in the era of mass creation of the simulacra that Jean Baudrillard warned about.

Binders full of horses
I wouldn’t make the argument that politics is a hobby first.
I think that’s what parody is.
Learn how to talk to people you fucking idiot.

You are useless.
You sound like you need a geography lesson before you try to school anyone on civics.
