Bullies Destroyed Culture
You want to blame anyone on the decline of fine art, music & theatre, blame a bully. In a recent study, theatre, art, & music students are more likely to be bullied then students who do nothing.
This means that instead of art, music and theatre getting better and more progressive, people are just going to be ok with shit.
Just look at politics, the whole point is to belittle people for being cultured and smart by calling them elitists. This means it isn’t okay to be smart, cultured or talented in the American mainstream.
America is being run by bullies.
America will just be okay being an uneducated, unartistic, untalented, unremarkable and brutish.
Remember Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds? What the fuck is he now? He is running for President of the United States of America with his daddy’s money and trying to rid the country of nerds. He wants to make us a reality television show and not a PBS show, a BET show and certainly not Al Jeezera or Univision.
The best part is these fucking bullies talk about a time when America was great and exceptional, but because of their bullying, it was no longer okay to be creative. It isn’t the liberals, the Black Lives Matters, the feminists, the punks, the hippies, the PC army, the Mexicans, the Muslims, the whatever…it’s the bullies. The bullies destroyed America and stopped it from being great.
You want to make America great? Stop bullying the band kids, the theatre kids, the artists and the sculpturists, the AV kids and the RPG nerds. These make are the kids that will someday make America great if you let them. If you stop throwing them in lockers, giving them swirleys, tripping them, breaking their musical instruments, burning their books, scaring them into PTSD where they won’t try ever again and you grow up wondering why things aren’t great and start blaming others to the pint of racism.
At one time the CIA wanted America to be so great it funded literary magazines like the Paris Review and artists like Jackson Pollock so that the world knew it was great.
