That’s informational text, not literature.
My severely undereducated state rep trumpee Angela Rigas replied to me that her top three works of literature are the bible, constitution, and declaration of independence. She had no response when I told her those aren’t literature.
Literally no trumpees anywhere can tell you their top three works of literature.
This is fact.
It’s the news that Starship Troopers and Idiocracy both parodied. Except it’s not future fantasy, it’s real and here now.
no you show me and don’t put that controller down, that’ll show me
Yes put down the gaming controller and go interact with reality instead.
Yes I believe Jesus referred to it as usury in the Bible.
just wait til you kids discover literature.
Every person dies alone.
Cool fantasy. You know literally nothing about me. Hope your imagination makes you feel better.
Okaydokay Frito Pendejo.
I don’t know who tf you are but I’m guessing you’re a whiteboy midwit to assume you’re in any position in life to tell me how I should behave. Because you’re not in any position to tell me how to behave, stablegenius. Do better.
Bro I typed that the Arts & Crafts movement priced itself out of the mainstream.
So sorry this happened to you, I hope you can someday recover from this trauma.
I had seven dislikes from stablegeniuses mad about objective history, go be smug n stablegenius somewhere else plz. I don’t care about dislikes, I’m pissed about straightup Idiocracy, frito.
Jfc your links agree with everything I’ve typed here. I know justabit about modern art movements. And that foot carving pictured in my opinion is strongly reminiscent of nouveau/deco sculpture and imagery.
hey man you go ahead and do whatever makes you feel smug n superior inside
Nah bro. In the US arts & crafts morphed into mission style, which was just straight flat planks at right angles for practical purposes, which I believe is what you are referencing. As I’d mentioned above, in Britain arts & crafts veered heavily toward the affluent with its high craftsmanship. Arts & Crafts also developed into the ornate art styles of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
Yes, top craftsmen would get deeper into their craft for their own personal interests and their previous commercial success afforded them the luxury to become more like—or essentially—fine artists.
Or they spent more time on a single piece.
Yes, there was broad appeal for fine handcrafted goods after the Industrial Revolution, so much that craftsmen were successful enough to make better livings selling higher-priced goods, just as it is today. It was a bit ironic that the Arts & Crafts movement started out “for the people / against industrialization” but soon became high-priced goods for the affluent.
Nothing you typed is true. Bob Robertson is right about every point. And I will piggyback off of him and continue to prove him right and you wrong if necessary.
Nothing is being produced for the consumer anymore. We are the Mark. I broke a little plastic gear for turning the chute on my snowblower and cannot buy a 30¢ chunk of replacement plastic. They told us the internet being recategorized as a luxury service instead of a utility service would improve service. It’s gone up in price 5-10x in the fifteen years since, Sucka. Everything is trying to transition you to a subscription service so you will own nothing and be happy, Sucka. Stop carrying water as a useful idiot, Sucka.
Fiction would count as literature. I’d say it goes in the self-help section next to the Tony Robbins cassette tape series.
