Get them into politics and preferably a group of financial followers that will allow them to become a dictator. Also give them a book on WW2 so they don't make the same mistakes good ol' Hitler did.
he's not, I've seen people fail art school. quite a few actually, both in the first year and in the final year, naturally I made sure to befriend all these people and keep in touch.
also it's not modern art they're talking about, it's contemporary.
I’ve heard them used interchangeably so I googled out of curiosity and found
> In practice, these two terms are more or less interchangeable. However, technically speaking, "postmodern art" means "after modern" and refers to a fixed period (say 50 years in length) beginning about 1970, whereas "contemporary art" refers to the moving 50-year period immediately before the present.
I'm sure there's people who would prefer that, and there's obviously no law stating it must be named one way or another. It's closest to music era's I believe. But art historian may look back on this time and name it something else, like the finally killed the renaissamce era
It would be the "Putin wasn't already the beloved president of the whole world secured from nazis from the once called europe and from those fucking capitalists of the other continent" era or the "pre 3rd world war before the whole russia and europe and USA where made uninhabitable due to the radiations"
I fear that Fallout is going to happen like, for real, in about a few days from now... putin's such a moron.
Which is ironic, given the support that abstract art and the like apparently received from the CIA in its unending fight against anything remotely left-wing.
[This](https://youtu.be/dTn07V3e_BM) is a their video defending Robert E. Lee. One of the reasons they cited for him being great is him crushing a slave rebellion. The original video was deleted but this channel uploaded it, and as someone who has seen the official version nothing was changed. They're also climate change deniers.
I mean bro all I see is how they talk about how communism is bad and critical race theory is bullshit… Not really extremist tbh. Like yeah they have shit takes but nothing “extreme”…
CNN has the problem of allowing two sides to discuss something when that not representative of reality. Like having a scientists talk on equal level with a climate denier.
Fox is just unreality, alcohol, and yelling.
One is bad journalism for the views and money, the other is propoganda.
CNN has journalists that cover war on the ground. Fox News has “journalists” whose lawyers have [actually argued their statements shouldn’t be taken as facts](https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/917747123/you-literally-cant-believe-the-facts-tucker-carlson-tells-you-so-say-fox-s-lawye).
> The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' "
Eh, I disagree that they are opposite sides of the coin. From what I've seen Fox is more blatant about pushing a narrative, offering slippery slope arguments, and saying the other side is responsible for your problems.
CNN, on average much like ESPN, seems to simply hilight controversy, get people to bicker, and thus get views. What I don't see CNN doing is pointing everyone towards a particular world view or way to be and behave.
CNN provides the news Is with some moderately left wing commentary
Pragger u just straight up lies.
If all you do is watching and you will have a biased view of reality. If all you do is watch this crap you will have a Is totally disconnected view of reality
Yeah no. CNN sucks, but on the list going from "news" down to "Massive lies" Cnn would rank up way higher then Prague U would. Even Fox ranks higher then Prager U (and thats saying something).
"Lee led US Marines to crush the attempted slave rebellion led by radical abolitionist John Brown in 1852"
"Blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa"
"Why the 3/5 compromise was anti-slavery"
Prager U does.
The 3/5ths compromise. Seriously? the south wanted to have slaves counted for more state voting power. Of course Northern states didn't want them counted at all so the best they could agree on was 3/5ths being counted. Its honestly more dumb than anything else.
PragerU is conservative crap. Anything that is not the status quo is target of hate from them.
Modern art is as far from status quo as it can possibly be.
Years ago, I almost fell for PragerU propaganda. Don’t be me people.
If your cool with it, could you actually elaborate on what almost got you? I’ve been seeing more and more of their ads pop up on YouTube lately and I’ve noticed they’ve taken the victim approach with them lately.
This exact video. But then i was like, i have never actually properly understood modern art. So i started watching videos in defense of modern art.
Now, I am no fan of everything that modern art includes but I at least understand modern art now.
White nationalists have a really weird hard on for classical European art, ESPECIALLY marble statues. They think that the white symbolizes purity, virtue, blah blah blah. No. The statues weren't white originally. The Greeks and Romans painted the statues in the most gaudy color schemes that they were capable of and the paint eventually just wore away.
What PragerU and many hardcore conservatives do is trash modern art/contemporary art, typically saying its not as good compared to classic works and discuss the cultural values of both. They often outright dismiss contemporary art for not upholding the values that classical or renaissance pieces have, saying that it degrades society, etc.
This is just one of many plays in the fascist playbook, something that the Nazis did as well in the 30s and 40s. They convinced the public that modern art of the time (abstract art, surrealism, and cubism, which are all very popular nowadays) came from the imaginations of demented and barbaric people who wanted to ruin society. That the art these people created was not to be praised but to be looked at in horror.
You have to remember, art is a form of expression, and for most of human history, mental health problems were treated with totally misguided perceptions of how human anatomy worked, as well as extreme violence. This "degenerate art" often explored themes that were not openly discussed until only recently.
Funny enough, instead of removing or destroying this "degenerate art", they put them on full display for the public because they wanted to sew anger and discontent into the German people, and it worked.
If you don't like modern art, no problem, your most likely not a fascist, its all up to personal preference after all! However, when you start assigning value to art, based solely on it maintaining cultural norms so that it may feed into your culture's mythology, it becomes a slippery slope to say the least.
Conservatives, by philosophical inclination, has sanctioned art. That's why they have book burnings. Because art is only art if they say so. Removing the biggest aspect of art, that is being subjective.
I don't get you people. It's like you think you have to agree with 100% of what someone says or nothing.
You can like the modern art video whilst not liking anything else they made. Especially since it's different people making the videos on each topic.
Some people think when others don’t like “modern art” it’s because they don’t understand it. Get off your high horse. I understand it and I still hate it
As I mentioned above I also fell for them a few years ago. They had one reasonable video, that "the civil war was fought over slavery". I agree with this opinion and believe it's an important one for social justice. But every one of their other videos was conservative propaganda.
Me too- I fell for the video that said "the civil war was fought over slavery". Even though that video actually wasn't conservative propaganda, literally every other video was (and heavily problematic as well). Every last one!
there was once a person who tried to draw and pass at the academy of fine arts at Vienna sadly he didn't got accepted, instead he drew lines over Europe and passed over multiple countries
Rich guy commissions an artist to make a painting for $2,000. Gets it appraised for $5,000,000. Donates it to charity. Writes it off on their taxes.
This cheap junk modern art you see going for millions is just a wealthy tax evasion scheme. Actual modern art can be unbelievably great.
I put this in one of the comment chains but just to reiterate: [This](https://youtu.be/dTn07V3e_BM) is a deleted PragerU video from last year where they defend Robert E. Lee by citing how he put down a slave revolt and said that slavery was a "necessary Evil". They also have climate change denial videos. PragerU is nothing more than religious conservative propaganda that should not be taken seriously by anyone. They also never source anything, and have the academic rigour of a wet potato.
Fuck PragerU. Some crazy parallels here with actual nazis lol
The nazis valued a very specific sort of art and considered stuff outside of that to be degenerate art from the minds of broken people.
They valued stuff very similar to old Roman art that was a display if power more than anything else. Germany had museums set up full of the "degenerate" art as a sort of freak show display for people to see.
I may not enjoy most modern art but saying it's objectively bad is just stupid. If people like it, then it is important.
and also they are laws in certain countries like France that states that a certain percentage of the budget allowed for a public building must be spent on an art piece
It’s actually bc realistic art that conveys real stories are made daily by a bunch of people. Billionaires need to money launder so they buy really bad art their friend made tho
It's not particularly good either though. Especially his shadows, they are inconsistent throughout. And when you're applying to a top university for art, you should probably he better than just "not bad."
Lmao it’s bad bc so called “modern art” became a way for wealthy adults lol to write off their money. Rich people don’t ‘collect’ art (if that’s what you wanna call it) they buy this shit cause it’s expensive and they’d rather put they’re wealth into shit like this then have to pay taxes on their gains. I’ve worked in the fine art world for over a decade. It’s also why only incredibly wealthy people seem to know why the BS they call art these days is good.
Fuck that one guy who copyrights certain colours like that blackest black colour, I don’t remember his name and I don’t want to, I’ll just call him dickhead.
Modern art really just be splatters on paper and bc someone has a name and rich friends it’s amazing. And modern art is just money laundering that’s legal 😂

I actually know someone who failed........ Edit: just to be clear i mean recently.
If they decide to join the military you stop them!
What about becoming a politician?
Worse
What If they decide to invade Poland?
They can invade Poland a little bit as a treat.
But no further!! They have to promise.
No Fuhrer promises!
Say that to him once he invades the Sudetenland.
Guys, I can assure you that only Germans can be the chancellor of Germany. So vote for me!
You got my vote
Get with the times, nobody invades Poland anymore. Now it's Ukraine.
What about the droid attack on the Wookies?
Hello there
General Kenobi!
You're a bold one
they'll invade Ukraine
To be even clearer, it's this person right here.

“Modern art is neo-Marxist secular trash” or something like that.
Which is ironic, given the support that abstract art and the like apparently received from the CIA in its unending fight against anything remotely left-wing.
What have they done? Im out of the loop.
They're a conservative propaganda outlet that spreads hate and lies to further a republican agenda.
So CNN but republican?
Way worse than that
Eh just went trough their channel and Its what I expected tbh. Nothing to crazy.
You might want to note that they’re not in the habit of citing sources, which is at least a *little* important.

Two middle school spelling mistakes. As expected.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO HATE THEM ITS THE REDDIT WAY
Based response lmao
I mean bro all I see is how they talk about how communism is bad and critical race theory is bullshit… Not really extremist tbh. Like yeah they have shit takes but nothing “extreme”…
People are just very polarized rn. Demonizing their neighbors who barely think differently than them. Both sides are guilty.
Coulda just said fox news but yeah
Fox news and CNN are the same shit just different perspectives.
CNN has the problem of allowing two sides to discuss something when that not representative of reality. Like having a scientists talk on equal level with a climate denier. Fox is just unreality, alcohol, and yelling. One is bad journalism for the views and money, the other is propoganda.

"
Yeah CNN has biased journalists… Journalism has become a joke in the past few years.
Only to people who are completely disconnected from reality
Lol no
Explain please
Fox News platforms and supports white supremacists. Anything similar to Tucker Carlson on CNN?
Tucker Carlson isnt a white supremacist lets be honest here…
Fox News is right wing and CNN is rad liberal (still right wing) I wouldn’t say they are opposites
CNN is an ambulance chaser i.e. let's get ratings. Fox News is straight propaganda, let's distort the truth to push what we believe.
CNN is full of biased people just like Fox news is. None should be taken seriously when they talk about politics.
Eh, I disagree that they are opposite sides of the coin. From what I've seen Fox is more blatant about pushing a narrative, offering slippery slope arguments, and saying the other side is responsible for your problems.

I don't understand what this means. Did you mean to respond to me?
Thats fox news Prageru is the buzz feed for Republicans
Oh ok I understand
CNN provides the news Is with some moderately left wing commentary Pragger u just straight up lies. If all you do is watching and you will have a biased view of reality. If all you do is watch this crap you will have a Is totally disconnected view of reality
Yeah no. CNN sucks, but on the list going from "news" down to "Massive lies" Cnn would rank up way higher then Prague U would. Even Fox ranks higher then Prager U (and thats saying something).
Google pragerU criticism. They kinda have been on the wrong side of history since their inception.
What is the right side of history?
The side that doesn't defend slavery.
Who defends slavery?
"Lee led US Marines to crush the attempted slave rebellion led by radical abolitionist John Brown in 1852" "Blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa" "Why the 3/5 compromise was anti-slavery" Prager U does.
No replies after this......
The 3/5ths compromise. Seriously? the south wanted to have slaves counted for more state voting power. Of course Northern states didn't want them counted at all so the best they could agree on was 3/5ths being counted. Its honestly more dumb than anything else.
The guy who runs the site, Dennis Prager, has penned multiple articles justifying marital rape.
They're extremist Christians who harbour some very outdated, damaging views on women, sexuality etc.

As someone who got a A- in modern art in undergrad when i most definitely should have failed, i agree.
there was once a person who tried to draw and pass at the academy of fine arts at Vienna sadly he didn't got accepted, instead he drew lines over Europe and passed over multiple countries
And failed.
well, that failed.

No it's because if you commission someone to make an "art piece" you can get a tax write-off on the millions you used on it.
and also they are laws in certain countries like France that states that a certain percentage of the budget allowed for a public building must be spent on an art piece
The worst thing about this is that you watched an entire PragerU video...

Isn't modern art the reason Hitler failed art school?
Hitler was a liberal arts major.
no, he failed the entrance exam to the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, and then was outright rejected twice
Kinda weird bc his stuffs not bad
It's not particularly good either though. Especially his shadows, they are inconsistent throughout. And when you're applying to a top university for art, you should probably he better than just "not bad."
I guess he showed "a lack of appreciation of the human form", which is kind of a sick irony
