The app for independent voices

Not to mention the general degeneration and stultification of today's "art and culture" has led to a general lack of creativity in cinematic productions (hence all the Disney remakes). Additionally, the general infantilization seen in the fact that serious, profound films aimed at adults that focus on the complexity and beauty of life and the human experience (in an aesthetic manner that is not marred by social justice ideology) are products of the past. Music and literature have also not been spared from attack, children are no longer been taught to value classic literature, instead being routinely indoctrinated with all kinds of social justice spouting fare. Nowadays if you turn on the Top 50 hits radio you'll be serenaded by strong and empowered pop stars singing about their genital attributes. I remember hearing about a high school teacher who openly denigrated Shakespeare to her class, claiming that there was no use in studying an "old white heterosexual cisgender man" like himself. It all reminds me very much of what Deleuze and Guattari (not a post modernist of course but I do find some of their theories interesting and very much topical) wrote of back in the 70s: that capitalism is fundamentally illiterate. Substitute capitalism for feminism or any other social justice ideology and the phrase is very much apposite.
