there arent many movies or TV shows with an implicitly communist background like how there are a plethora of liberal shows. not focused on ideology but just shows made by us for us

obviously there are many movies from socialist states. you kind of underestimate them when you grow up in post socialist states but i grow to appreciate them ❤️

Claiming that attempting to appeal to the “masses” is the same as aiming for the "lowest common denominator" is extremely elitist.

In the example of SheevTalks, he deconstructs and analyzes corporatized nerd properties like Star Wars, but there’s an underlying understanding that the failure of modern nerd works is that capitalism is inherently incapable of producing artistic works without turning said works into lowest common denominator commodities.

There is zero difference between this and Nietszche’s criticism of culture/art and modern society.
