Quick "rebuttal" to the BAP episode

I get the appeal. He's a surprisingly charming speaker and he puts his arguments together in compelling ways, he's fun to listen to and blends a decent enough grasp of the history of philosophy with the history of internet shitposting and that's probably a really genius thing to be right now. I find him interestingly humble and also I enjoy anyone who has really strong opinions about the lack of virtue in society, he'd have made a good classical cynic.

But at the same time, you guys know it's all bullshit right? This old line of, "the marxists are just boring and they don't make good art" is nothing new. I was with a contemporary artist for a large portion of my life and those are people who make interesting images sometimes but who are by and large incredibly boring people whose entire careers are beholden to money and class and the constant desire to be patted on their heads by savagely dull elites who put their bullshit into their private collections for clout. It's all fine and dandy too talk like "we have the music" but you might have noticed that these girls are more hangers-on than artists. Dasha is not really anything special when it comes to acting, and the best Anna could pull off was breeding with a musician. Their taste in music is quite dull and pedestrian, really nothing outside the box, their tastes in art are very similar. If you ever actually hung out with somebody who is really into Nietzsche, I guarantee you those people are actually really boring to hang out with. The person I knew in my younger years who is the most into him as a philosopher literally painted paintings of clowns crying in a corner of a room with a wine bottle next to them. This is all a facade and actually, I truly, we really do need to do something about the rich. Yes, Marxism doesn't have a lot to say about what wild New frontiers the human species will inhabit once we have that shit figured out, but that doesn't make dealing with inequality a waste of time.
