LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES AND ART

The symbol of the nonexistent Balladeer Political Party

LIBERALS –

American Liberals have become incapable of appreciating art and literature. Instead they pompously and intolerantly dissect ancient works of visual and written art looking for nothing but (yawn) racism, sexism, white privilege, colonial narratives, “the male gaze” and all their other paranoid obsessions.

They have no appreciation for beauty in any form. American Liberals have no identity outside of their political opinions so when they ponder the magnificent creations of past geniuses they use it as an excuse to pat themselves on the back about how much more “enlightened” they consider themselves to be than the brilliant people who created those works.  

It’s a very empty way to view the past and it’s also pointless. It’s only natural that people living in different time periods separated by a few hundred or a few thousand years WILL HAVE VERY DIFFERENT NOTIONS OF RIGHT AND WRONG.

And y’know what, Liberal snobs? People centuries from now will look back on YOUR value system and condemn it for not being the same as theirs. Do you really care if – long after you’re dead – pompous jackasses just like you sit around, sip wine and repeatedly reassure each other that they are morally superior to you?

CONSERVATIVES –

Conservatives have long had a reputation for not appreciating art and literature. Instead they would piously and sanctimoniously dissect ancient works of visual and written art, looking for nothing but (yawn) sinfulness, immorality and impiety.

They had no appreciation for beauty in any form. Their religion dictated what they allowed themselves to feel about the magnificent creations of past geniuses and they recoiled from those works with prim disapproval. They prided themselves on being “holier” than the brilliant people who created those works.  

It was a very empty way to view the past and it was also pointless. It was only natural that people living in different time periods separated by a few hundred or a few thousand years WOULD HAVE VERY DIFFERENT NOTIONS OF RIGHT AND WRONG.

And y’know what, Christian Conservatives? Now that the equally intolerant people of what passes for Liberalism today sit around primly disapproving and self-righteously condemning so many things that YOU hold dear maybe you can understand why so many people found YOUR simplistic notions of morality so annoying.
