There are many songs that are quintessentially NYC. New Yorkers…which ones are yours?

Few of mine….
Last but not least.

Hold up. I just heard in a very popular podcast that if we aligned with Russia before Hitler invaded Poland we could have stopped it.

Wtf?

The Soviets were allies with Hitler before Germany invaded Poland. It was a betrayal which is why Stalin positioned itself against Germany
Do people really not know this? Do people really believe that Stalin was the good guy? Seriously?!

Wtf are people being taught?
@Timcast please correct this because the last thing we need now is to continue to be ignorant about and revisionist when it comes to history of ALL forms of radical collectivism. And btw…I’d love to know what the person who made this comment who comment on Yalta.

Remember there was dance before this that had centuries as part of China. As one of the three olds it was destroyed and reformed into this during the Cultural Revolution.

Now think about the art the majority of people see. Then think about the art that
has been all but destroyed but even darker think of the restrictions and betrayal done to audiences and those who create or innovate.

What do you think is going on? And why are we allowing it and/or behaving as if this is not a crises?

The two are intertwined. Always is.
Art is dangerous, but not because of politics. It’s dangerous to politics. Art unshackled from politics is what is dangerous. It’s also something which humanity has not had access to in such high numbers ever before. This is what made postmodern art’s promise so exquisite.

I had no idea how poorly people have been exposed to symbolism or taught about it or discovered it until a few months ago.

The use of symbolism in art and story is not only vital it’s not binary.

It’s also not *only* universal.

We are destroying this way of communicating
ideas across time and distances and I didn’t realize how both fragile and young and inaccurate I was regarding how imbedded understanding symbols and story was in our species.
I thought it was as deep as these things could go. I was wrong. This is a target of the last two years and honestly? We are losing this “battle.” I also think if we do, ultimately? It’s the only thing that assures we lose the “war.”

I’ve said for awhile and I realize how true

This. This is how shallow and stupid those that view themselves as “elite” are.

No. You aren’t missing a thing. They’re moronic. They’re sophomoric and elevating such things is the ONE thing they excel at. “There is genius in their hatred.” -Charles Bukowksi
Now imagine what they think of you. What they are even capable of thinking of you.

Yeah. Fucking Scary.
This is also an example of education past one’s capacity. What was meant to build a foundation and self reliance and the ability to learn and think has done the absolute opposite. Teachers putting chains on people makes me furious. And that’s what we see over and over and it’s

“The potency of his faith, in other words, was not his decision to reconnect and pray to all that he’d chosen to disconnect from. Rather, it was the remnant of connection to which he had clung tenaciously in spite of having every reason not to.
“At times,” wrote Abraham Joshua Heschel, “we must believe in Him in spite of Him, to continue being a witness despite His hiding Himself.... Faith comes about in a collision of an unending passion for Truth and the failure to attain it by one’ s own means”
walkingstick.org/uploads/1/1/9/… I think this teaching applies to more than simply faith in a creator. It’s also faith in our fellow human beings. Hard as hell…never thought I’d feel so misanthropic.

There are gonna be a LOT of people wishing they’d not been so cowardly. They’ll wish they had at least not joined in the mob mentality and derangement that has been manufactured to turn the non compliant into an enemy. Why? Because think about how we judge those images of Nazis
or Bolshevik thugs or fascist green shirts either joining in or cooperating to hurt fellow human beings because they, at best, indulged their shadow natures. Now imagine how future generations will view them, or maybe you - and how you’ve behaved on video, on twitter, on FB…
We have seen how cancel culture has dug up the most innocent or innocuous thing and spun it into a weapon that destroys lives.
