what a retarded take this is not art, it’s aesthetic communism. the average Everyman and Everywoman is mediocre and absolutely not worth aspiring to the glorification of mediocrity, weakness, and ugliness is an intentional demoralization campaign you are being trained to hate beauty. to reject excellence, and to see the heroic as oppressive and the mundane as sacred. a civilizational inversion and ritualistic humiliation art was once the spearhead of aspiration. we carved gods into marble and painted divinity into flesh. civilization was built by aspiring to an ideal, not to being mediocre and average this is the architecture of cultural decay. a people that celebrates the ordinary will never become extraordinary. this is anti-beauty. anti-heroism. anti-civilization. the same communist ethos underlies it: erase hierarchy, abolish standards, destroy the elite and elevate the ugly, mediocre, and broken soft totalitarianism wrapped in “representation.” we should not tolerate this. we should burn it out at the root with anyone championing for it a culture that forgets what beauty looks like will never again know what greatness feels like.

The wealthy elite of Europe may not notice, but the average European will be far worse off. This discrepancy is what regulators have stolen from Europe's future, in order to ingratiate themselves with altruistic accolades in the present.

It is all this well-intentioned legislation that becomes so damning to society. Nearly every evil borne down by the state upon the people was conceived with good intent.
