What prompts this post is the annoyingly dull, boring, unexpressive word and grammar corrections AI is always suggesting. I hate them. They take all the fun and tastiness out of reading and writing.

Stick with me on this and you will begin to understand that degrading the culture is imperative to liberals keeping power and has a long history, even as far back as the Prague Spring, when the Russians rolled tanks into Prague, Czechoslovakia and took over in 1968, imprisoning playwright Vaclav Havel.

Here’s what Vaclav Havel, (the famous dissident playwright/president of the Czech Republic, jailed by the Soviets when they put an end to the Prague Spring) has to say about the importance of culture to society. “The main instrument of society’s self-knowledge is its culture… It is culture that enables a society to enlarge its liberty and to discover truth.” 

Liberal censored culture is careful “not to excite people with the truth, but to reassure them with lies… the aesthetics of banality.” 

Here is Havel on liberal induced culture: “it’s a power that sees society as an obedient herd whose duty is to be permanently grateful that it has what it has.” 

Strange as it may seem, in Liberal Kulture, the most important qualification for success as an actor, musician, performer, writer, or artist of any kind is to be completely free of real talent, originality, or any sign of genius. This is what must be understood by all conservatives. In liberal Kulture all real artists have been condemned to the liberal gulag. The purpose of Kulture is to distract and pacify the masses, the very opposite of real culture, which inspires and excites new thoughts and ideas. 

Complete lack of the fire of real talent is the first and most important qualification for any artist that the Liberal masters will support, because any scintilla of an actual artistic gift is liable to arouse a true feeling or thought in an audience, and that is anathema to Liberal Kulture czars. The “common herd” must learn to feel only what Liberals want them to feel and think only what Liberals want them to think. 

I am not saying that many of the performers who are popular today don't have a certain very pleasing facility in their accomplishments. They are certainly skilled and entertaining. But as the saying goes, few of them 'will ever set the Thames on fire". 

How important is a belief in the value of art to Western Civilization? Here I make reference to Kenneth Clark’s wonderful BBC series on CIVILIZATION. In that series, he speaks of the Abbey Church of Saint Denis in France and Twelfth Century Abbot Sugar’s views as he lavishly remodeled the Gothic Cathedral. 

Abbot Sugar wrote that “the dull mind rises to truth through that which is material.” This is the first time that the value of art to Western Civilization had ever been written down and acted upon. It is the belief that, as Lord Clark states it, “we can only understand the absolute beauty which is God through the effects of precious and beautiful things on our senses.” 

God and art are inextricably joined in Western Civilization and fundamental to its survival. Christianity provides the religious and philosophical foundation for the value of all art to humanity. Thus, the suppression of art is agnostic and atheistic in intent and effect.

My old buddy Vaclav sums up how I feel about Trump’s election perfectly when he says: “But chiefly, I suppose, it was the exciting realization that there are still people among us who assume the existential responsibility for their own truth and are willing to pay a high price for it.” 

All Liberal approved Kulture is nothing but cheap thrills. Even fast food has more nourishment than most of what’s at the movies or at the rock concerts these days.
