Bonus nonsense:

Revenge of the Sith glazing

Glittering Images by Camille Paglia

I stopped reading after this horrendous introduction. I would describe the prose as Redditor adjacent. The author identifies as a civil rights era liberal and atheist, while condemning black art and Piss Christ. There were some pretty pictures in the book tho. I don't know who this author lady is/was but she sucks. 2/10

E: if you look this lady up, as many in the comments have done already, turns out she's a racist, transphobic pedophile. classic anticommunist

My liberal arts classes always emphasized that it was neoliberalism that was bad because “Walmart”, but liberalism was great because “freedom”.
