You're missing the implications of my putting sarcastic quote marks around "artist."
Because they aren't.
Actual art, actual culture, has value. It glorifies God and His works, it exemplifies truth, beauty and goodness.
Modern art, and modern artists, do no such thing. They're scribblers at best, shit flinging monkeys in a cathedral at worst.
And it's not a "boomer mindset" to deride that edifices of the left by the way. These people aren't going to somehow become valuable humans if we had just coddled them more. I refuse to assign value or worth to the valueless and worthless.
You didn't use scare quotes the first time you mentioned artists, so I took that as referring to all artists. If you were referring to deconstructist left wing saboteurs (essentially the majority of today's institutions), I don't disagree with everything else you wrote.
The seeds of the left's satanic ideas are hundreds of years old.
The boomer mindset is that of the remorseful leftoid. They sold the country up the river so they could glut themselves on credit and obvious lies about muh equal. They are lotus eaters, who were happy to embrace prog bullshit in their own time but then got uncomfortable with the obvious results.
As far as I'm concerned we don't need to go back a generation to make the country better. Try a couple centuries for starters.

Not even today's institutions.
