Why is communist art mostly ugly  

This spot seems to be used for a bunch of modern art that gets replaced every couple of years, so I don't think it's really a big deal. It's funny though when you get art from black artists that would absolutely get called racist if it came from a white one.

[benji]

What I don't get about this stuff, why not just make the gallery more diverse and then shut the fuck up? Like did you know you can elevate other art without talking about how this old art of countrysides is actually racist and problematic?

Because the ideology is destructive nihilism as justification for control. I mean this seriously, whether the root is named critical theory, Marxism, etc. It's never about proposing alternatives, you're instead supposed to assume a perfect alternative then critique how everything else false short. Marxism doesn't explain how communism is supposed to work or even really look like, you're just supposed to imagine the utopia and any critique of it is out of bounds because we can't really know how a perfect utopia would work, leaving you trapped in just endless critique of the forever "late stage" of capitalism. Critical theory posits that there is nothing but endless dialogue where nobody knows what anybody else means. Deconstruction never proposed a reconstruction after. So on and so on.

This is why, as I pointed out in the other forums thread, you can always do this to anything. And why they always do it to the things they promoted the day before. Harry Potter was the progressive message, now it's racist, fascist, transphobic, etc. to its very core with zero redeeming qualities. I love [thing], wtf fuck [thing], I always knew they were suspect.

Lenin, Mao and Marcuse actually argue that because "the right side of history" fights for an unknowable utopia anything they do is correct because "morality" is simply a symptom of the struggle against existing reality. In other words, you're critiquing them from your limited perspective of the now which is inherently illegitimate.

Probably blocked her because she's a libertarian free speech advocate.

Lol, politically motivated? The guy is the state Chief Health Officer and the data is from public health records.

If that cunt Taylor Lorenz wants to talk "politically motivated" then I'd love to see her talk about her political neutrality before she starts accusing people of being politically motivated.

It's not enough to elevate diverse voices, you MUST denigrate the white people and declare them BAD.

What’s amazing about the communist thought leaders is they’re never subtle about all this. Marx openly resented happy people. He resented his mommy for not financially supporting him. The trick is most people are inherently good. They go along with this because they’re for helping and uplifting others. So much of the ideology exploits that.

More than Kevin Chang’s quote, it’s the Daniel Lugo “I don't just want everything you have. I want you not to have it.” mentality.

[Besticus Maximus]

You know who else developed an ideology entirely out of bitterness that people didn’t like the exact same shit he liked?

Online leftists pretty much tend to have a "noble savage" image in their head when they think of native Americans. Hell, when it comes to white leftists they often seem to apply this thinking to any minority

Anecdotally, given the number of online 'leftists' I've seen talk about their too-online life journey being calling everyone a jew beautiful Black body faggot on 4 chan until they got religion woke and now go around calling everyone alt right chud nazi, seems to me they're still the same pieces of shit troll idiots they always have been, they just think they're operating under a righteous banner now

D&D Wheelchairs are a surprisingly hot topic

Nintex the warrior of light and freedom tosses your trans communist ass on the ground and your wheelchair slowly rolls downhill. 
[throw a D6 with a -2 handicap to determine the speed of the wheelchair]

6 - 2 = 4! Not a bad roll you are trying to crawl back to your wheelchair, you might be able to catch it

Nintex burns it to a crisp with a powerful fire spell.
[perfect roll, means a maximum multiplier of the spell]

"Help, help!" you scream, as the trolls and goblins living in the land of Palestyne approach drooling and hollering, craving human flesh.
[throw a D6 to see if you can get up in time to avoid being eaten]

"DINNER TIME BOYS!" Nintex shouts as he jumps up a ledge.
[perfect roll, Nintex gracefully jumps up a ledge out of harms way and out of reach of any of your spells, he also casts a binding spell that limits your movement further]

"It's not rape if they are already out of their chair" Plagarize the Ogre says as he scratches his mighty balls.

[Eric Cartman]

"Sorry ironsides, even though our high fantasy setting setting would provide you with multiple opportunities for believable escapism in the setting, from enchanted trousers to straight up replacing your limbs, we're gonna apply your IRL disability to your fictional character and leave you sat outside the dungeon while everyone else is having fun because they didn't provide a fucking ramp entrance to Mordor."

[Polident]

Amazing image tbf. He gives the dude in a wheelchair a tiny dagger. The worst possible choice. But that’s the point, right? Guy in a wheelchair has to be as capable as anybody else. Giving him a crossbow or spear implies he’s limited.

Did anybody post that one Tomb Raider image going around last week? You have a series based around climbing and platforming and raiding tombs. So they have a chubby woman with two prosthetic running blades. What are we doing here.

Oh yeah, it's from some table top game so I imagine barely anyone will play this anyway but the character seems like the ultimate combination of diversity checkboxes



As if they were one week away from the deadline and someone told them the cast needs to be more diverse so they put it all into one character

Holy fucking shit, the grift never ends.

[RetiredSkunk]

Holy fucking shit, the grift never ends.

But Cancel culture doesn't exist.

[Uncle]

Holy fucking shit, the grift never ends.

I genuinely don't understand the narrative here and who is mad at what part of this

lefties say cancel culture and cancelling doesn't exist (it's consequences!!), but the very title of this panel acknowledges getting cancelled, so who is this for?

this person is mad that the panel seemingly doesn't even ask "what if the mob is wrong," but the viewpoint of gamergate types is that their cancelling over things like sweet baby inc. are not wrong, so why do you want them to question whether your accusations are wrong?

aren't a lot of cancellings of the type where gamergators sit back and laugh because they're just eating their own? or when there are crazy L's on twitter, the mob comes for their bad takes and they lock down their account, or get community noted

what kind of "asking if the mob was wrong" are they looking for? like if someone is accused of sexual impropriety, but the person claims they're innocent? or if someone is accused of supporting trump, and they're like yeah I support trump, and you're wrong for cancelling me over it, because it's a relatively normal thing to do?

I understand that it's apparently from femfreq people so I guess that's the grift I just don't get being against this for that reason

[Potato]

I can tell you that the only people who will be attending that session are the people who froth at the mouth at the prospect of cancelling someone. Not a single person who has ever been targeted by the mob (the so-called intended audience) will be there. It will basically be a strategy session for cancelling even more people.

It'll basically be a rulebook "This person I dislike hasn't responded within the guidelines laid out during this presentation therefore they're an even worse person. The correct reaction is to admit fault and resign, not provide "evidence " that people are wrong"
