Video games are art and art is the greatest weapon in our arsenal for making statements. Its also why right-wing “art” always fucken sucks and has no soul.
The US also prompted artists at the time to make abstract art that’s soulless and sucks to show how “unconstrained” we were compared to soviet realism.
Turns out artists just don’t make good art when force them to draw one specific thing for propaganda reasons.
Yes, realism is garbage reactionary art because realism is a garbage reactionary philosophy. Reality was invented by racist old white guys to justify slavery.
Very debatable. For a very long time almost all art in Europe was inspired by religion: architecture, painting, music, sculpture… It’s as right wing as can be (no hint of progressive ideas). But I’ll be damned if I don’t appreciate a good Fra Angelico, a Gothic cathedral, or Mozart’s requiem. I’m sure there must exist aesthetically pleasing Nazi artworks, out of context (SS uniforms are famously fashionable)
It always sucks because it’s propaganda. No don’t listen to that evil devil music that talks about real shit, listen to this Jesus music that just talks about how great Jesus is and how feeling things is bad.

that’s what happens when you build an ideology on what you hate, instead of what you care about.
Huh, you just helped me realize why authoritarians only ever seem to produce realism, and no other art.
Communist countries also produced a lot of abstract art. Most of it was still soulless though.

You got me in the first half.
Google anarcho antirealism.

Ahh religion, makes everyone equal and not abused at all for control purposes.
Ahhh religion hate. Totally isn’t an excuse to attack pagans and indigenous people under false pretenses

Leftist propaganda is awesome and cool. Like Star Wars, which is about how resisting fascist governments through violence and paganism is good.
