Krin never specified "Consoles" he said systems.

I wish lol. You just read a revised version of my notes I made preparing to write a midterm paper.

TL;DR: modern products such as films, music, novels, and so on, are all the same at some level, which destroys any true meaning in art, which is derived from difference. This makes it easier for capitalism to keep consumers where they should be. Horkheimer and Adorno believe that this makes it impossible to create true meaning within art, or even experience enjoyment from it, and that we're basically doomed without any way of escaping. Kracauer thinks that we do derive valid if shallow enjoyment from these repetitive patterns, and it's just a (terrible, but necessary) phase we have to get through on our journey toward human knowledge. And that in any case, it's better than pretending we can somehow redo Beethoven or Michelangelo.
They sounds like a bunch of marxists. Of course, it seems too off topic to be for a politics class. Is it for an art history class?

I'm going to take the annoyance and frustration I feel from that statement and put it into shameless self-endorsement of my art on this online store.
Shameless endorsement of my art on an online store.

There's only like 4 things on there so far, but an example is being thisssss:

They're pretty much the quintessential Marxist cultural critics. It's for a Rhetoric class on theorizing New Media. We started with the oldies but goodies (so to speak), we're currently reading Galloway, and we have (among other things) an essay on the racialization of labor in WoW and another that seems to be about women in video games by Anita Sarkeesian. (Inb4 ETHICS IN GAMING JOURNALISM) (but srsly pls no)

Philosophy? Is that okay within the limits? In Illinois can you sue a child for screaming at a wallmart (not likely I know, but it still fits some kind of description of disturbing the peace I'm sure) Has any famous people changed their names to curses and what do you think of it? I want to know why Mormans are so rich and why extremists are such jerks. Do they think they're in power? Maybe they legit think they're doing the right thing. That's the whole thing no one realizes. People act the way they do because they were raised that way, researched and made decisions for themselves, or have a mental illness that drives them to a certain degree of insanity.

Hell, why do we do anything? Apparently in 5 billion or so years the sun will run out of hydrogen, swallow up Earth and all of what we have done, from creating fire, to making self cleaning toilets, internet, virtual reality machines, all of that, GONE. Why is fascism the only way to enforce laws? Why is it when I try to look up crap about schools like apathetic teachers I get nothing relevant? It's no secret that Google is payed off to do certain things. On GEarth they've blurred out many military bases and specific areas for certain reasons. Why do teachers with tenured get away with everything? School systems are just a crappy attempt to make the next generation "smart" when in reality children are being turned into over sensitive jerks. (and no, none of this has come from going to school, they suppress this kind of thought. They are always telling you to follow rules and trying to do something different from a teacher even its more effecient, is frowned upon) If anyone can change my view please try. Reddit has been no help on this.

Edit: Just remembred; some more crap about capitalism. Remember a report about a girl and her friends lemonade stand shut down due to lack of permit and you can't run a business off your lawn (you know, legal stuff) and the whole thing is, it's completed biased among citizens. All because they're youngin' girls. What most people stereotypically see as fragile, sweet, pretty, and innocent.
If this were a 40 y/o man trying to sell the same thing, people would think he is pathetic, weird, and a waste of life. It's all legit though. It's amazing how many people rage over things they don't even know about. But here's the thing, what can you do? There's only so much space and each government has its own laws, if you don't like em you're screwed.

Gonna take this time to shove more shameless self-endorsement cause I'm bored and waiting for some responses to job applications.

Not demanding sales, just putting stuff out everywhere :D
