Stuff like Tolkien or C.S. Lewis are obvious, but other authors, movies, music, or entertainment might not be as well known.
So, how about a thread that lists some recommendations for things untouched by modern insanity?

Do I have to add a new set of quotes to my list then?
Only if you like subjecting yourself to writing like this:
From The Dispossessed, which won a Hugo over Mote in God's Eye by Niven and Pournelle in 1975.
However, James May already did your research for you, in his (first draft, rambling) essay "The Death of Science Fiction Literature". Unfortunatly his website lapsed or was taken down a few years ago. It is archived here and here.
His essay makes clear that the hate against males and the hate against whites are two prongs of attack from the same cartel. Pay especial attention to the role John Scalzi and GRRM had in the death of Sci-Fi. The only problem with the essay is it still is very much in the DR^3 camp, which is a waste of time.
That can't be real. Surely. It cannot. It's more terribly written than Tumblr fan fiction. It's something I'd expect to find on Wattpad or some other teenage girl writing app.
It's right there in the first chapter. https://www.readinggroupguides.com/reviews/dispossessed/excerpt
....things have been bad for a lot longer than I thought.
G. M.
He doesn't deserve the R. R., and no I'm not referencing some stupid ass costume rap battles with derivative writing as bad as his. It's not even part of his real goddamn name and despite saying he's a fan and his work is a response to the imitators...he has gone on to say Tolkien's work has plotholes and asking if Orcs and Elves bang, ok? Seriously Martin is a Hollyweird bitch made twat that keeps pandering to the normies that obsess over his glorified softcore porn.
That's the best thing about The Dispossessed: it unflinchingly shows the poverty and boredom of Communism even if it worked right.
