The poet they probably shouldn’t have sent. I watch anime and am sometimes accused of reading books. I'm writing a long gay giant robot story in verse—probably this millennium's best yuri mecha epic poem, through lack of competition.
'Now praise those names on tombs of steel engraved | And toll this rotting country’s countless bells.'
it's good that we're all familiar with the "return to tradition" type of fascist thought, particularly in the way they discuss aesthetics and classical european design—but i think it's led to the conflation of modernist architecture with leftism, which is very silly at best
I think a similar caution applies to the too-easy linkages sometimes made between aesthetic traditions and political tendencies in other mediums too.
I just played Season: A Letter to the Future after watching Jacob Geller's video essay "Art in the Pre-Apocalypse" and am reminded of the Grey Hands in that game. I have to believe that they took a lot of pages out of the Italian Futurists manifesto.
absolutely losing my shit at the loos essay. from the racism to the part where he boldly proclaims the cross to be a metaphor for fucking
hes seething so hard. sadly he wasnt bald so i cant make a "he malded hard too as hair was an ornament" joke
Heck, look at Philip Johnson - key figure of modernism and post-modernism and actual literal nazi… Conflating style with ideology is just a very silly thing to do.
