There was this stupid and insipid “research project” at the local art museum years ago that tried to claim that famous Egyptian art actually originated in Southern Africa (so the Egyptians appropriated it) and gave examples like two dolls, made of straw (ironically yellow) with 2 hands, feet and, gasp, spikey hair.
Not because basic grass doll technique is universally discoverable?! Naah - it’s cultural appropriation and they wuz kangs. Since then the art museum (which has a high reputation even for a small city) has floundered and become nothing more than stupidly woke and has to make money using cheap tricks to stay afloat as there’s constant infighting that the board and employees are never woke enough.
At this point - all Kanye has to do is start his own sneaker company, sign on Kyrie and the game is on.
One or two more high profile blacks encountering this and this WILL trigger claims of racism on the part of these orgs.
My God… the stupidity.
You can try to defend the nonsense that gender (vs sex) is at least a social one (though I disagree) because there is some plausibility to that - but to outright claim that no civilization before the enlightenment made the claim that there was a female skeleton (Adams rib cough, hips for childbearing…) is RETARDED.
That’s just internet trolling IRL.
Btw - I thought this comment was verrry interesting -
Bernay’s has also been associated with “Engineering consent” of the masses would be vital for the survival of democracy. Bernays explains:
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.”
If sources are to be believed Chapek was trying to throttle it internally insofar as how it was affecting profit and the bottom line.
With Iger back at the helm it’s full steam ahead towards the gayez.
Even though Chapek was CEO, Iger had full and complete control over creative content decisions until 11 months ago. Chapek was shutting the woke content down.
