Academia emits cultural toxins while ostensibly "studying" culture. If these culture theorists were studying another culture, such as a primitive culture, would they use the engagement to proselytize for their ideals among the primitives? If not, why are they comfortable spreading their ideals while studying American "primitives"?

Using”art” as a forum for the dissolution of culture. How utterly marxist of her.

[ClearCase_guy]

Art used to be “elevating”. Religious art was inspirational — the lives of the saints, the suffering of Christ, etc. Paintings and sculpture portrayed heroes, or showed the joy of domesticity or honest work.

Today? Art is intended to make you ashamed of yourself and your country. It’s “transgressive” and is supposed to make you uncomfortable.
