Real kino art is back on the menu boys.

— "GOOD ART CLARIFIES THE MIND AND HINTS AT FORGOTTEN VALUES. GOOD ART IS MAN'S DIVINE RIGHT AND TERRIBLE DUTY. THE WHINING, COPING, HAM SANDWICH RACE WISHES TO DESTROY THE CANON."

Uhm epSCUSE me, it is actually Very Important to have Good Art as it can only be produced and appreciated by superior* (*western, male) beings such as myself, see below for an important example

Some twisted, malevolently bad cartographer somewhere:

:sicko-yes: i'm making this map wrong on purpose

I am "instinctively recognized as a scam".

Only thing that really fits is NFTs.

So we agree, Pregnant Vegeta is good art.

His whole feed is distilled fart-huffing. Gonna grab a few favorite snippets:

Beyond a certain level of intensity, ambition, and drive, of course "normal" people will start squirming around you. Elon knows this and has made his peace with it a long time ago

Only Ayn Rand was smart enough to predict that incompetence and an ENVY for excellence will lead to dystopian social outcomes.

The Unabomber Manifesto🧵

Ted Kaczynski’s IQ: 167 Harvard admission: At 15 Youngest ever math prof, UCB: At 25 Money spent by FBI to find him: $50+ mil

The manifesto attacks modern civilization like nothing else before or since

13 best insights from a Philosopher-Terrorist👇🏻

It's amazing that Jordan Peterson delivered his most based material inside a fucking university.

And now that he has infinite wealth he can only deliver platitudes.

I have to stop, this could go on forever

i'm MAKES YOU FEEL WEIRD

this feels fascist

this is basically the nazi obsession with removed art (the fact it was removed implies worse words than what I actually said)

I'm "SETS OFF A DOWNWARD SPIRAL"

Also, this feels like a personal attack on my art.

I'M COPING. I'M SEETHING. I'M A WASTE OF TIME.

I AM WEED

How are these losers still crying about Duchamp's fountain over 100 years later?

makes you feel weird

Waaah, all art must exist as shallow, uplifting slop!

mocks the concept of values

How dare an artist endeavour to make something that questions my values!

The only real difference between good art and bad art, if there is such a distinction, is whether the art is revolutionary or reactionary. Art that serves revolutionary politics is good while art that wallows in some reactionary nonsense is bad. It's quite telling that values has to either be hinted at or mocked, leaving little room for openly politicized art. Could it be that this loser has reactionary ideas but understands that those reactionary ideas can't be openly expressed so they must be hinted at?

dude is a pro at making site taglines

One time I recommended Uncut Gems to a coworker, and she gave it a shot. She said it was the most bizarre film she had ever seen and it was completely contrary to her values.

I asked what she meant, she told me she thought Howard was going through a redemption arc. That he'd eventually see the error of his ways after winning the basketball gamble and go around to everyone he wronged to apologize, hand them money, and then convert to Christianity (yes she said this). She told me she felt weird for days after seeing it. I think she's more used to watching creepy evangelical propaganda movies.

So that's what this guy reminds me of

I wonder how this guy feels about David Lynch

The irony here is that, based off the conclusion’s definition of bad art, the chart itself is bad art.

I do see some "high art" as money laundering shit bought then traded between rich fucks (sometimes actual shit put in a can and shit like that), but that said, yeah, the idea of "good art" reeks of

Long way to say that according to them, good art conforms to their biases, while bad art challenges them.

I'd argue it's the opposite. Good art should challenge the way you think, it should be capable of making you uncomfortable.

It's a good thing art and its reception don't serve as barometers for fascism.
