Why do right-wing grifters like pensandpoison and that Joon girl complain endlessly about “Marxism” and “wokeness” allegedly killing the artistry of modern literature when right-wing conservatives were pumping out all sorts of slop novels in the 90s and 2000s? Picrel, for instance, was about a state governor covering up his daughter’s death from a botched abortion because he needed support from abortion rights orgs to win his re-election and is later exposed by a Christian news anchor with prophetic powers; this crap is no different from a Sally Rooney novel or “Yesteryear” just neocon/Evangelical in orientation with the same dogshit writing style. Tons of hypocrisy and ignorance on the part of the “anti-work” literary critic crowd.

𓀐 @ikxcVX+k: Right wingers don't have control of the culture industry and can't effectively elevate someone like Peretti to the point of high social standing. Rooney is a Trinity College graduate and has received numerous highly prestigious awards for merely appealing to the urban liberal-left bourgeois worldview. Understanding the right wing critique as nothing more than "leftists write slop" is bad faith to the extreme. You're missing the entire point about the intersection between institutions and culture construction. Which is surely performative because leftists are totally fine with these critiques when it was postmodernist philosophers making them. It really goes back to that tweet about leftists pretending to not understand anything thereby making discourse impossible.+ 4

𓀐 @Cmrs-BPL: Nobody knows right wing "art" exists. For one, it's trash and nobody enjoys it. Second, even if a right wing artist did exist, they would have to quit and find a day job because his stingy people won't support him. Look at that sad italian that put himself into 100k of debt to build a Charlie Kirk statue just to find no buyers and for his gofundme to get a sad 3k.+ 2

𓀐 @sdD*bCJj: The problem I have with people like PaP and her ilk is that she seems hellbent on the idea that only conservatives can create literature that reveals a moral message or grand commentary on human existence. Anyone can look at conservatives today and see that's not the case at all. As it is, 99% of the right-wing MO consists of bullying the left (communists, queer people, feminists, anti-racist activists, etc.). Just look at podcasters or right-wing YouTubers to see clear examples of this notion. What "profound moral message" is this supposed to be? A novel written by a conservative where the message is "queer people are crazy, only cishets are mentally balanced, only a society that promotes heteronormativity can ever be stable" is not something that would ever make for meaningful art.+

𓀐 @DWUpP?8d: Piety only works when there's a single religion. There's a reason all religious nations got immediately bodied the moment globalism got going, and all the strongest ones now are founded in the differentiation of church and state. Humorously, when church and state get merged again, strong nations start collapsing. tldr, religion is for retarded people+
