[Romulus]

It became sentimentalized kitsch.

Because of the self-referential way most modern minds are formed, this category is largely invisible to all but a few. Kitsch is now the ocean in which we swim. Because our culture conditions truth upon its emotional acceptability and takes for granted the sovereignty of private choice in all things, people find it impossible to think outside that category. It makes authentic conversion all but imposible.

You throw a whole bunch of words around in that post, without really saying anything. Last time I heard that sort of babble was at a corporate "Sexual Harrassment Training" session.

What, precisely, is "sentimentalized kitsch"? The answer to that question should be a definition, not an example.
