that's part of it, there's also just a lot of dumb and insane ideology and worship of The Market/Capitalism since so many of them are true believers these days (still grifters, but not wise to the game like they were in the past).

imo good criticism takes a work of art and either contextualizes it within a body of work by that artist or within greater movements or looks at it through an unusual unique frame so it seems a lil overbroad to go "all criticism is too subjective to enjoy"

thats not what i said, i said that the subjective form is too subjective to enjoy unless you're primed to agree with it. thats why pitchfork is so loving insufferable - they refuse to accept that limitation. im sure other people who thought that radiohead album was the best ever were blown away by the clarity of their stank rear end review. the objective form of criticism is just super limited, and in many ways ceases to be criticism; a really interesting writeup of the history of <whatever> would be neat, and might contain criticisms throughout, but it isnt actually criticism itself. contextualization falls into that boat

which is why im v much 'gently caress criticism, just keep an open mind and experience things and whatever you enjoy, you enjoy'. at its best, criticism is just mental masturbation and at its worst it limits what you allow yourself to enjoy for wholly arbitrary reasons. and people like jerkin off so yeah a lot of people are going to enjoy a lot of criticism one way or another. doesnt make it a functional thing tho like the aesthetic critics wish they could wear

tom wolfe is great even if he went senile and wrote novels about slutty sorority girls later in his career

i didnt know that but lol

but no its more that he considers artistic rules to have interpretive authority, which is why he's unable to really comprehend people rulebreaking for its own sake. and he focuses his complaints on art critics and the wrong kind of art because he's unable or unwilling to turn his eye inward and wonder why he just doesn't 'get' certain things. i certainly dont get pollack but idgaf that it exists or that other people get it, while hes extremely mad and nude before online. that and his writing accepts degenerate art theory as baseline anyway so lamo

But they stop far short of offering a complete plan, a calculated decision they made to delay attacks from business groups they fear will erupt once they realize some of their favored tax breaks could be eliminated.

Some budget experts believe the blueprint outlined by Republicans on Wednesday could decrease government tax revenue by more than $5 trillion over 10 years. To offset some of that loss, Republicans need to identify tax benefits that they plan to jettison. That process has not yet begun.

“I hope that people will have the intestinal fortitude it’s going to take to do it right,” Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said late Tuesday. “People say the health care was hard — you have no idea. You have no idea how this is going to be.”

eh, some representatives or a senator visiting would help because then they'd be able to go to congress and say how hosed it is. sure, it's 100% obvious it's mega hosed, but the reality of things are that congress won't believe it until one of their own go.
