Go to BlueSky for political news. Lemmy news and politics is compromised
This, with even less recourse to have the ban removed. Eg I was banned by Jordan Lund from politcal/news Lemmys, publicly spoke with him about the ban and was found to not have broken any rules, and he just wont remove the ban. For me doing literally nothing wrong, except having politics he doesn’t agree with (feminism and think Trump engaged in election interference, which I had and have reputable sources for), in a politcal sub.
I was banned for saying we should pay to feed our kids breakfast and lunches at school instead of paying to blow up someone else’s kids
No. Thinking matters.
Okay, but that wasn’t your original assertion. Also, there’s no way to prove this claim anyway about relevancy. Like God is pretty irrelevant these days, why would a painting of him really matter today? Why does David matter? They are just made up stories.
Again, you’re just saying stuff to say stuff
The art world decided to turn its nose up at this kind of popular art and pivot toward controversial, shocking, and lazy (looking) art intended to provoke all kinds of responses (many negative). This continues to drive a perception in the public of an artist community that is increasingly elitist and out of touch.
People forget that it wasn’t always this way.
Banksy has cute and beautiful art too. The balloons, astronauts, and kid ones.
The painting’s location and grandiosity prove my point. It is still a beautiful piece but it wasn’t painted to be accessible to the common man or to be a feel good piece - it was meant to inspire awe and divine worship. Michaelangelo commonly made pieces like this, including ofc David, a LARGE and detailed piece, which is why he was sought after by the wealthy. He was not an accessible every day common man artist like Banksy lol.
You’re just saying stuff to say stuff. Like when people freak out about vegans when they don’t know anything about it, it’s just what they’ve been told.
I didn’t cherry pick, I attacked your premise with examples that break it.
Those are fine too, but my point was artists who create technical pieces of things that are beautiful, that beautiful pieces indeed are still appreciated today and I wouldn’t call the previously listed artist’s works any of what you described previously.
The entire Catholic mass was told in Latin at that time specifically to reduce accessibility and increase reverence. I think you underestimate Catholic cuntiness. They were putting people in their place with all of that. If you don’t understand how Catholicism was used by Rome and then later the world to keep slaves in line and convince poor people to fight wars, then you are missing a lot of info on the world. Most Abrahamic religions are meant for that, that’s what the legend of Abraham is about.
It was literally made by Bob Ross to teach everyone how to paint something decent in ~30minutes. Part of that is enjoying the painting process and not getting frustrated. But it was absolutely instructional, he gave specific colors and techniques because he was teaching us how to paint…
Wow, what a bunch of didn’t happen.
Art has always valued technical skills, however some artists do not need to be particularly technical to convey artistic meaning.
Banksy is a technical artist who also uses creative meanings on his art itself.
Jono (charcoal artist) is HIGHLY technical, has art pieces that are probably more detailed than a literal photograph.
Thomas Schaller, Colin Thompson, and many many many more famous artists with excellent technical skills, all very favored.
Bob Ross teaches beginner’s level technical skills. That means that we can all make our own paintings. It means that it isn’t often expensive to buy those pieces because we can make them. He was teaching people how to paint, that still makes him completely relevant to the art world. It’s just not exactly mentally stimulating once you already know how to paint all those pieces - often artists do things called studies, and then they move on to the next study. Arguably his best artistic work was The Joy of Painting itself and its legacy.
Btw the entire point of those churches and paintings was so the common person felt overwhelmed and unworthy. It wasn’t made for love per se, it was made to give an image of power and divine right.
They are the same people. As in bad faith actors/bots
There are some original style old school websites that are niche and small that are fine. Too small to be worth the bots’ time.
Eg if you like miniature painting, going to a small, dedicated website forum just for that, is more likely to be genuine than anything like Lemmy or Reddit. And truly it is more decentralized.
I am also exCatholic and went to Catholic school, I stand by my original comment.
The condom and abortion positions alone have caused a lot of damage to the world.
Yeah okay, just noting safety for anyone reading
Ads have been one of the most destructive forces on humanity in the last 100 years.
Probably not a great idea to tell Disney in writing you will pirate their content.

It’s because everyone’s accents have gotten less distinct/strong due to TV. I know people from the US south with barely an accent because of this.
Also, some of the accent stereotype comes from your own movie productions, especially older ones when the accents were more like that:
Granted they are playing this up for their characters
You would just use the car wheels itself if you’re doing all that - how do you think it would store energy driving uphill?
And not just that, but safety and cheapness akd accessibility of the materials. Water is pretty cheap and common. If it spills, probably no big deal (flooding notwithstanding) unlike battery acid. Not as likely to explode (sometimes steam explodes stuff).
It isn’t Israel, it’s almost all global wealthy. Israel is just their tool
