Silent extinction rule
Silent extinction rule
Photography already killed art. It’s nowhere near as popular as it was before photography. It’s now becoming a time when commissioned works can be popularized as well. So art made by humans becomes even more niche.
Hey, I’m sorry for the roof thatchers and knife sharpeners out there, and what happened to their profession. The Appalachians and West Virginia is dirt poor because coal mining isn’t what it used to be.
Why do “artists” think they’re holy and should be protected?
Why do “artists” think they’re holy and should be protected?
Has anyone ever implied that it’s just artists? Automation putting people out of work has always been a major fear, and has been realized over and over again. It’s not “just artists,” it just so happens that art is the current domino to fall.
Oh my goodness, do I need to spell this out?
IT’S THE POST. The very post we’re commenting on is an example of how art is trying to be shielded from the advances of technology whereas coal miners knife sharpeners roof thatchers… everybody watched them starve and nobody cared.
They were clapping while the miners were sent into starvation. People were dying and we were clapping because an industry we didn’t like went away. It’s all because “Art Lovers” are rich and elitist that they want an outcry. Which of us has a collection of art, or even one piece? Nobody who thinks about paying bills I’ll bet.
Oh my goodness, do I need to spell this out?
Yes.
Context and subtext aren’t things people actually think about anymore these days. Also be sure to choose your words extremely carefully, because they all only have 1 definition now and it’s whatever the other person reading thinks it is and not what it says in a dictionary or what has been established by the majority of people for hundreds of years.
Also don’t be subtle, don’t use euphemisms, don’t be sarcastic, and never exaggerate or else you’ll be accused of “spreading misinformation.” Despite the fact that 90% of the interaction on the internet is still text, too many people joining in forums like this have absolutely zero reading comprehension skills.
They take a single line from your post and write up a huge post of their own just to argue with th- Wait… Fuck! Now I’m doing it!
