It's so fucking BASED to get absolutely zero value out of your existence beyond what you produce and consume. This is why the libs fear DeSantis, they know that he understands real Americans do not want anything cool or interesting in their lives. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/a...

There is a very specific type of 80s-90s chud we all knew back then who said "fuckin gay shit" about art class, and we did not prepare ourselves for the fact that they were eventually going to become red state politicians

Creative minds find ways to convey meaning that is often just ahead of dictators. The N...s went after artists and scientists, just for this reason. It isn't about not having nice things. It's about control.

DeSantis does not enjoy anything and his base is also people who cannot enjoy anything, so zero'ing out culture makes sense. But I feel like this also reflects the post-Trump aspirants spinning the Seething Idiocy dial and looking back at the audience. They all want to vote for Tom Selleck, sorry.

This makes sense because all art ceased being good after 1973 anyway (is what I imagine a significant chunk of Villages residents believe)

Some context: the Florida State Guard, capped at 1,500 employees, received a $107.6 million budget in July 2023. What? Don’t I mean the National Guard? Nope. The State Guard was disbanded at the end of WWII, when the National Guard came home. In 2022, De Santis resurrected it.

The lack of imagination here is really telling. No graft. No penny-ante chicanery. Just "I can't feel anything so neither will anybody else."

I keep reminding anyone who will listen that the first sign of a fascist regime is the elimination & deep control of the fine arts. The part of our brain that allows us to create also allows us to see through problems, propaganda, & perversions of reality. W/o the arts people are easy to manipulate.

No joke this is actually true - Republicans are cheering this on and saying that any public funding for the arts is a gay commie plot. They want to close museums, shut down civic arts, and just sell all of culture to the super wealthy who will get to have it while peons enjoy AI generated TV shows.

Meanwhile DeSantis vetoed Tampa Bay cities from enacting rent control laws, so average rents jumped $700 per month (not year) in 2021 leading social security seniors to go homeless. I see them queuing up behind the tire shop locally each night in their cars. That's where they live now.
