Hackdom's Kingdom Crumbles
Now is the Turning of the Arts
I have often written here how I despise the Hollywood and New York productions of the last 50 years for their abject nihilism; the fraud of modern art; the mocking stage work that perverts the transformative glory of genuine theater; the barely organized noise whose creators demand the world profess to love as music; the incomprehensible, ugly verbiage passed off as poetry; and the film that lionizes the denigration of mankind as but a functionary of base, animal spirits. These are the work of the loathsome Generation of ‘68 — and they are on their way out.
For years, I've met young and middle-aged Americans, those who did not baste in the acid bath of that era — who yearn for artistic creations that are aesthetically nutritious. Seedlings, fledglings, I have found it so very encouraging to have met them. Now, today, I am certain that millions of Americans have at last been exposed to the root idea from which knowledge will spring that — YES — the American imagination has been impoverished for fifty years. And, more importantly, that there is something much better to which one can aspire and perhaps even achieve.
The key to understanding what all has happened is contempt. The only gravy train for these self-righteous, self-aggrandizing, incompetent, pseudo-intellectual and untalented hacks comes on the backs of the innocent, who must be disparaged for their tricking con to work.
But we are not going to take it any longer!
In her commentary on the Stone/Baldwin braggadocio at the Torino Film Festival, Natalie Winters expresses succinctly the obtuse ideation inherent in Leftist aesthetic nihilism. Imagine a talking down such as this, by such luminaries of Leftist crap-ideation as Sharon Stone and Alec Baldwin; she, incapable of acting, whose bared snatch in a film the title of which I don’t care to remember became her claim to celebrity and he, similarly theatrically incapable, whose ultimate filmic act outdid in its outrageousness any role he invariably played without any morally redemptive intention.
And they say WE are the fools! The temerity naturally follows from the contempt; the contempt follows from incompetence: that is the soul of Hackdom. The competent must be blamed and shamed. In only a few minutes, Winters, 24 years of age (!), explains with a crystal clarity that belies her youth the nub of the Left’s brutal, broad destruction of the arts.
It is all of a piece — Leftist politics are an extension of the crippled ideation that infuses and infests Hollywood, New York, the Ivy League, the critics they pay to adore them and every misguided fool who unthinkingly swallows their line. I am delighted and grateful: I know now that I am privileged to live in a time of an historic turning.
The Castle of Hackdom was built on sand. Now it crumbles. Stand away from its turrets as it falls!
There are genuine composers and musicians and writers and actors and painters and sculptors and poets in America now, seemingly dormant, yet alive in the fertile dirt that has just been overturned, still under the leaf cover: Seedlings poking through the loam, about to spring forth.
We will revive our arts.
It was filmed today. It’s a must-watch for anyone in the arts.

I hope both Rumble (I'm a shareholder and contributor) and Real America's Voice improve in quality and become replacements for the extant anti-truth, anti-american, anti-freedom mass media outlets.
