Painters were necessary as part of communications and the part of doing business. First from recording historical events/people then later advertising.
The artistic aspect evolved from that need.
Sculptors much less so but had their roots in architecture (church building, plumbing systems, etc)
Practical need first, artistic expression later.
It's not until you get your civilization to a point where the basic necessities are easily met and you have an affluent society that can afford art for arts basis.
That also doesn't mean that "art" wasn't done on the side - families still entertained themselves in the evenings along with community events (based around harvest/planting season... naturally) and basic crafting of quilting, clothes making, furniture making, etc; But it would typically have to be of a practical nature as well.
Disneyland can't exist without a highly affluent society behind it that has the dollars AND time to go to it.
In a time where food and shelter is scarce - if you do nothing to contribute to providing food or building shelter you're a liability to society. This wasn't just true of acting, it was true of any creative art that didn't help with survival.
Clean house.
Obama did it and installed generals who supported his woke transgender agenda and Biden picked up where they left off.
Trumps admin has to clean house again and, first, install/promote generals loyal to him and 2nd start retraining the military for meritocracy
If you voted for Trump, or for a third party, fuck you, I hope you're happy, knowing you traded rights and freedoms for ALL people not just LGBTQ people for "cheaper gas and eggs".
Not a friend - just somebody on a gaming discord chat room.
It feels like hate won
That was from a friend who still doesn’t understand why I’m voting for Hitler…
They’re all sheep - the same people that said the same thing about Dick Cheney and W Bush (whom, of course, applauded Dick Cheney when he came out in support of Kamala…) who don’t even realize Trump led the desegregation of golf courses in the 70s and fully supports gay marriage and gay rights and then have the audacity to say “hate won”.
No… Hate LOST.
I'll be happier once he grabs some of the tactical swing states but I think he's got it.
I'm more concerned about the house and senate races. If the Democrats get control of both they'll bar Trump from even taking office.
I swore I was never going to be unknowing about current day lingo unlike my parents.
Like - I knew that the ship at the beginning of Star Wars was “The Rebel Blockade Runner” and all was good… until about 2010 when I was in a comic book shop and some 10 year old kid and his dad were discussing it and he said “Rebel Blockade Runner” and his kid said “No Daadddd… that’s a Corellian Corvette”
Stupid Millenials.
Denial of what? I didn't say ANYTHING about the future - I just posited my observations about the NOW and note I said "MOST" - yeah, we've already had "incidents" of petty crime AND the outright claims of racism against the owner which almost never happened in the 10 previous years I was here.
I grew up elsewhere in what was once a strong white, middle/lower class suburb that's gentrified into a Somali warzone for almost the same reasons (and the city putting a block of section 8 apartments all around the area didn't help). I am WELL aware of what's coming, fortunately, A> I rent and B> the town is still majority white (and known as such).
YES, I'm planning on moving - but the Biden economy is killing me for home ownership. I've got enough to cover the downpayment but houses here avg 500k which is a $3000/month payment due to the interest rates taking off, which is almost TRIPLE my current rent!
In fact I'm looking at moving out another county to the north, problem THERE is that that starts to butt up against another nearby almost blue city where black population is increasing to the SOUTH. We're getting phalanxed...
There is. My middle income area (now lower-middle income area, thanks Biden) has had a lot of black people move in. Most of them good neighbors. This is because I’m in a red county suburb and they’re fleeing the high crime blue city that’s majority black because they can’t stand the crime there, either.
