Home Page - No Woke - Why Hitler is coming back

Hitler always wanted to be a painter. His work is... just OK. You won't compare them to that of  da Vinci or Michelangelo, and the works have been criticized for issues with perspective and proportion. However one won't doubt that if he lived in a rich neighborhood, of modern day of course, he could make a decent living selling his paintings as decor.

So the Vienna art school won't let him in, I won't question about that decision, but are the works of the art school's students any better? Let's take a look at some examples below:

Mate sorry about my lack of artistic sense, but I find it rather difficult to appreciate this piece. If I will buy something and hang it on the wall of my son or daughter's bedroom, I will certainly buy Hitler's.

So how exactly the prestigious Vienna Art School picked such a strange path? Or to be more exact, why so many artists at the time, German speaking or not, picked such a path?

The Answer is simple, advancement of technology, or more precisely "Photography".

Long before Hitler was born, if you want to document how something look like, or someone look like, you have to paint.

Things changed as Hitler entered his career, cameras and photos are becoming cheaper. What's more, coloured photos began to emerge. The Vienna Art School had known this all along, and artists around the world had known this all along. If the continue on the old-fashioned paintings, they won't make a living, so it is time to go abstract, do something that a camera cannot do.

Hitler won't accept this, so after a few years of struggling: painting on the streets, he quit arts and entered politics.

Fast forward to year 2024, we see similar tech advancements again, this time, Artificial Intelligence poised to replace jobs in arts, media, legal and politics. Needless to say, we have many "Hitler" that will be washed out, and enter politics, and, competing against AI?

Very interestingly, AI chat bots had been blamed for being too woke. Consequently if you happened to talk in a politically correct fashion, people will say, "hey dude, you talk like AI, are you a bot?"

Everyone hates bots.

Apparently, the "political industry" will have to pick a path that is not woke anymore, just to be popular. To be fair, general public are not woke, they wants straight people to speak for them. If the ruling system of a country want woke narratives, they can give this task to a chat bot, it is so much cheaper.

This is indeed a stark prediction about what will happen in the next a few years. But if this is indeed what people want, shouldn't we give them what they want? No political systems can survive without satisfying the people.
