Got it, I see what you're getting at. I don't know that I'd agree that Marxism says people can't enjoy things inherently, but often Marxist analysis does focus on being critical of how power and wealth shape societal…
I feel it's worth mentioning Berger isn't just saying that it's a product of the culture though, but the material capabilities of society too. He was drawing a line been the camera in his time as a fundamental shift in…
Great excuse to finally read this. I also recommend 9.5 theses on art and class which is based on this.
You can admit to not understanding something without having to attack it as slop. Just because our education system does a poor job of teaching critical literacy doesn't mean other people aren't getting something out of…
If you want to understand art then understanding the economic and political relationships that commissioned it isn't really that crazy. Just because the video games I grew up with were consumer products doesn't mean…

Every workplace is an authoritarian regime where workers don't have a say and grovel with "please don't replace me" like that isn't the entire point. The whole point of AI is to get rid of you so rich people can play…

Sure, which is still not any better cause at least you can quit a job you don't like.
I encourage anyone surprised that people would opt out of babies and raising kids actually spend time with kids. Not just like for the holidays and pass them back when they start crying, but an actual extended period of…
If you don't think child rearing is work then you won't understand why women choose not to have kids in the first place. You cannot be a parent and choose not to work, period. Just because you're not getting paid and…
Hard wired to want children and hard wired to want sex are two very different things. When given the choice there are plenty of people putting the latter over the former, and the number of women stuck at home while…
And those in turn might not want to be here themselves and when given the choice decide to break the chain.
For the first time ever people can finally choose not to have kids. Is it really any surprise people would opt out? Go spend a day with kids and you'll see why people would rather not deal with the mess. Especially…
