So does that mean the grenade or asking about stairs in your house isn't the goon shibboleth anymore? This is what I get for skipping this week's secret "destroy the internet" meeting.

The peak of literature is having an entire doorstopper to explain your political philosophy and then ending it with a 200 page speech literally saying the same thing as the past 400 pages.

Burritos are from Mexico. The OP channeled by LoB probably doesn’t like that.

They're not even from Mexico, they were made by Mexican Americans in the US and then reverse imported into Mexico afterwards. About as American as baseball and apple pie.

Abstract art made a lot more sense to me once I got really into photography in high school, to the point I was in a dark room literally until I got kicked out and told to go home, and after a while I started trying to recreate reality as closely as possible, later on I found it was really fun to expose different parts of the picture differently or use the developer as a paint brush to get interesting end results. The final photos barely represented the real world in any way but it was so much fun to work with and the end result was still aesthetically pleasing and had meaning to me because of all the time and effort I put into it. So I assume that most abstract art I don't understand comes from a similar place, I know that Picasso did realistic paintings early in his career and then developed cubism later, while I don't necessarily like the end result I'm not exactly going to say it's lazy or lacks merit.

I dunno, other than photography I don't have an artistic bone in my body and sometimes modern artists seems really up their own butt, but that doesn't mean that there is an objective standard to what art is and isn't good, art by it's very nature is subjective and even. Also claiming art is degenerate has a long and proud history of not ending in super dark places, no siree.

Oddly enough Prager U's video about the Civil War is exactly the opposite of what you'd expect. An Army guy explains that the South seceded to keep black people as slaves and they all committed treason.

So was this some combination of them not vetting the guy beforehand and him not knowing what the channel is about? I can't imagine why anyone with non-extreme right views would be on a PragerU video.
