At this point, yes. For the past 60-100~ years there has been such an effort to bastardize the aesthetic of the world around us, though the communists really sent it into full tailspin in the US during the cold war when they monopolized and gatekept art through liberal education. It's almost like an unconscious humiliation ritual at this point.
If I don't stop here it'll get pretty arcane. But at a higher level, you institute the will of something really bent on fucking us up when money is being laundered using the very tapestry of the spirit or collective genius of a culture. Money as a concept (not as an exchange of goods for services) has a mind of its own and these little evocations, along with say abortion as a money laundering scheme (children being offered to money as a concept) paints a pretty ugly picture when you consider everywhere else you see it.
To reiterate, everywhere there is money laundering and the spontaneous generation of money there seems to be an intrinsic imperative to bring into manifestation the ugliest possible iteration of humanity, and it seems to have a mind and will of its own, which I believe is worthy of being called "Molech" or "Mammon". Nothing without its own awareness could ever be so pinpoint in desecrating the world around us. Lord said you cannot serve money and God at the same time, and I believe that this is entirely the truth.
It all goes back to the tabernacle and the spirit of everything we collectively value. What is our collective consciousness on speaking terms with? Not something we ought to be speaking to at all. Take it as an abstraction, take as you will. I literally see a demoniac presence within the modern arts, and all of these galleries are shrines to it. Does it truly surprise anyone that someone like this would manifest as a popular fixture within this scene? I can't say I am. I've seen some horrors.
As for the whole body of the arts commercial to the illustrative, too broad - but under the same woke spell that seemingly emanates from "Mammon".
The contemporary art scene as far as gallery art goes is full of these fucking creeps. Dogshit "art", money laundering, wokies, degenerates, champagne socialists and degenerates. Also, degenerates, and more degenerates.
Bad case of the Decembers, but honest to God I've been coming out of it more and more. The demoralization subsides when I put on my schizo-goggles and recognize these things for what they are - the situation is helpless because we are atomized, and the evil of this world keeps dissoluting the child of our collective germination like Saturn eating his own children.
Like many strange poetic parallels do, the motions will play out and Saturn will be castrated by his children of circumstance. We need only facilitate and maintain the context for good, even if it is to a limited degree and at haphazard of ourselves. The threat of the castrating child will always exist so long as we do; this is why the irrational fear of a white collectivization exists in the first place. This is why they fear their slaves escaping the plantation. This is why they feminize, commodify, castrate, isolate, disrupt and confuse. It's why venom seeps out of their fangs at the mere mention Jesus, who brought a sword to "children".
Aye, we should be as children said Paul, the budding cognition of collective awareness unto the sublime. Those who play the accuser and seducer angel ought to know that Samael is castrated by God.
Tell you what, you go right ahead and raise your kids on Rick and Morty and see what kind of a annoying, pretentious, uncultured cunt comes out the other end of it.
Can't condemn him for being mindful of it, but you can do a lot worse than veggie tales. The programming is all around you and it is bleaker than this man knows.
Not a whole hell of a lot to gloat about aside from the color blue these days. It really does feel like a collective "we did it reddit!" as horrible shit manifests all around us - I don't just mean for red team either.
go outside, get fit, spit on those people is what you should do by living a healthy and good life contrary to what they want.
One of the damnest things I've come to recognize among all the demoralizing shit in this life is that if you make yourself physically superior, people become naturally subordinate - all the sudden you're the exception to a lot of things, even identity politics. If anyone is looking for social vindication, simply get stacked. That's it. That's pretty much all.
Even if you're Sam Hyde ugly, you're better off being a brick shithouse. Better to go about this life with a broad head about things overall and the simplest fundamental truth is that if you can knock someone's block off, doesn't matter what position they hold, they are like putty in your hand even if they're still rude (you can gauge them better because their reactions come from inadequecy).
Literally being well fed and spending an hour a day-ish~ of working out can solve atleast 40% of your worldly problems and if we all did that, well, their voices would be drowned out. They'd just have no purchase. They fear this enough to try replacing meat with soy and put estrogenic compounds in the water and spite the masculine identity in a societal-wide effort to keep men from being strong. "They" really want you in this cycle of self-doubt and subordination, they want you vain and depressed, controlled by the whims of your peers and what women "think", they don't want you to know it is literally a choice and that the natural hierarchies still hold power over their weak, doughy selves - it is exactly that much of a threat to their own ideations of hierarchy. They don't like to work by nature, but to real men hardwork is a reward in and of itself.
It's like when the Israelites feared the Canaanites more than God's own command for their sheer size and the fact that they were well-fed. Still holds true as an aspect of warfare across all strata of conflict, and this is a Godless bunch.
Their imitations of power are impotent and our handlers FEAR the RETVRN.
Retrowave doesn't exclusively belong to the right. Also "passion" for graphic design, rofl - that's like saying passion for UI design, it's nobody's first choice.
As for the logo, it's alright. Anything is better than the alegria-globohomo stylization I keep seeing. Doesn't really jive with the adjacent design choices of twitter but following it up with sort of an old MTV aesthetic might be pretty cool (which isn't to say MTV itself was cool, the old graphical styles just have sort of an appeal and primping it up with some vaporwave might freshen things up a bit)
Something like McDonalds is an extravagant purchase these days for a reason, frankly it always was. Can't say I'll miss it as a convenience, better truly to make your own food - even going hungry for a little is better overall. Fastfood is a glamourized bad habit. Ain't gonna miss it.
The only way you're going to even temporarily stop "nazis" is if you A. make good enough games to keep fighting age young men preoccupied and B. stop trying to Weimar the fuck out of western civilization.
In fact, a better way to stop "nazis" is to invest in a high trust society, in the sovereign dignity of the races and their respective identities instead of teaching young white men to resent you while turning everyone against them, and invest in the general prosperity of your nation instead of outsourcing and bleeding it dry - atleast enough to where these evil "nazis" don't have to take it all back for the sake of both sanity and themselves. It never belonged to you. That is how you stop the evil, evil NSDAP.

Like clockwork.
"Take a beat and lay off the proto-fascism. Maybe try putting down your phone," the Democrat added.
She added further, "NO! YOU GIVE THEM YOUR ASSASSINATION COORDINATES! BE REASONABLE!"
Hey Kettle, meet Pot. Anyone remember when she was drooling at the mouth to dox and penalize everyone who voted for Trump?
Retard, support everyone or support no-one.
Its called being consistent
It's called a false equivalency. Retard. Protecting your intellectual property is very different from the examples given on its own, not only that but no one is asking for your support? Perhaps the argument can be made that it should concern you from my own perspective, but I reiterate, no one infringed upon you or asked for your help. The amount of kvetching your discord group does over this is priceless.
And again with the HURRRRR HANDSHAKE GOYS! I already slapped your shit on this. Keep downvoting pussy, I ain't looking for reddit gold.
The radical leftist art industry is similarly obnoxious. You know why.
The relentless gatekeeping that has been done on a higher level is unforgivable, it kept me blackballed for years. I have more reasons to hate the industry than anyone, but I can't condemn an artist for wanting to protect themselves. Not all of them are radical leftists either.
Countless jobs throughout history have been obsoleted by technology. The sour grapes from the artists are just particularly sweet because they never thought it would happen to them.
No one could have anticipated it, however I don't think this renders the artist obsolete in a very constructive way or in a way that betters our condition as the politically dissident right, it just further ingratiates culture to an even more malignant set of gatekeepers.
This was always going to happen eventually, and you will never be able to stop technological progression over some huffing about ethics. So its an entirely moot point regardless.
I concern myself with how these things look further down the line, and I without a doubt think that establishing certain protections is absolutely necessary. I have warned my peers for years but nobody listened - they got off on platitudes "oh our work has soul!" - turns out, good work isn't as in demand as they thought. Cat is mostly out of the bag and they have been Johnny Come-Latelys' about it. I welcome the death of the casual smut artist.
Digital art was always going to end up devalued like this because it lacks the scarcity value a physical piece has to create an inherent worth.
Maybe. I think there are other ways to protect your work, or even collaborate in some way to feed a machine within one's own art collective and lease its use. As for junk art, I fear that junk art is king - it will continue to be king and the world will be uglier for it and I have my reasons for hating this.
I do sincerely believe that aesthetics have an effect on cohesion, and by proxy, epigenetics. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5599588/
Above is a study done adjacent to the rat utopia to give you a picture of what I mean, in that spiteful mutations when introduced to homogenous populations ruins social hierarchies - and likewise has numerous biochemical repercussions, such as the lowering of testosterone. It's a terrifying thing to know how these things interconnect and how little people actually care. Aesthetics make no small difference either because they are what we collectively value, we are in this sense under the indelible influence of our surroundings. Art is the thing that all kingdoms and empires have left behind as their greatest treasures - what succeeds us? Trash. I plan to dig up some papers on that tonight because there is something to be said about it in relation to this - namely the affect that hierarchies can have on the biochemistry of the individual. Context creates people, and I fear the affects of hierarchy created by a constant bombardment of junk and misappropriated skill. I fear the collective culture of art as a profession in the hands of an even nastier commercial gatekeeper.
It's just going to get worse.
Does a digital piece have inherent worth?
About as much as a photo - which also have considerable legal protections and royalties behind them depending on where it is acquired. Also contributing to the inherent worth of a digital piece is the skill and demand of the artist himself, and this sets the stage for how you would arrange a contract. But by in large I think it is just as important to the value of your work that you protect your intellectual property - yet, artists have been foolhardy, posting their shit everywhere and wantonly skimming past the end user agreements. Fools, all of them.
Something like Discord could tomorrow pull the rug out from under them and say "hey, all this shit belongs to us - we're gonna use all of it to create promotional work and you won't see a red cent. Good'ay!" Facebook can do that with family photos if they had the itch, and I think everyone would feel weird about that.
This is true and thank you, I have been too lenient in my wording - but the message is there and frankly, we're swimming in filth because of it.
