I feel like there's something to say about the last century's "fascism as a result of decayed liberalism" still valuing interesting looking/pretty things, but this century's "fascism as a result of decayed neoliberalism" just looking like shit because aesthetics cost money and we pulled all the copper wire out of the walls, but I don't know enough to exactly articulate it

Well it was still developing. It originally came from this one city in the alps at the end of the old austro Hungarian empire, and it was basically fuckpiles cocaine street fights theory cocaine fuck piles cocaine street fights amphetamines and cocaine 24/7 between different groups of radicals. Kind of a 19th century dress uniform version of a punk festival. Lotta interesting lefties came out of it too.

But thats where fascism comes from, its people afraid to live exist or think adopting our insurrectionist ethos for their paranoid hateful cult of oblivion. Who took that first baby step and were like 'okay but existing is too much and shouldnt be allowed'. Or at least was originally.

Now with a century more under its belt it has defined itself, and it has come out in opposition not just to variety but to the very concepts of beauty and art. I think this was inevitable, but it hadn't been codified yet, so there was a kind of appeal to it, to what, if you didn't look so close, it might've been possible to believe it could have been-still fucked up enough to count as an illness, but pretty kinds of horrible. Marinetti diving into a jet engine as he cums on his 40th birthday with a canvas on the other side more than the einsatzgrupen and Dachau.

Again; I think this was inevitable. Its the only conclusion, but they hadn't made it yet. It looked less comprehensively repulsive when it was young.

I think the situations described are perfectly lovely instances of appreciating their virtues. As long as you still pull that trigger, or paste a refugees photo into that ID.

It's like, okay, if you put me back in time with a gun standing in front of Coco Chanel; I'm still gonna shoot her, but I'm going to shoot her in the head if i have the choice, because her outfit shouldnt be wasted. Y'know?
