- yesco 4y agoHow so?
- stemlord 4y agoAt least in the US, contemporary design culture (or at least cherry picked, extreme examples of it) is weaponized by the far right as a way of leveraging traditionalism as ideal and progressivism, secularism as nihilistic and degenerative. It's also a convenient way to say "cities = bad, country = good" which is convenient because minority groups historically congregate in cities and the countryside is predominately white. Really the problem is rooted in late neoliberal capitalism not our bipartisan politics
- yesco 4y agoSorry but this didn't really answer my question. Taking popular stances, that even you admit to agreeing with, and calling them dog whistles because some fringe group doesn't agree with it in exactly the same way as you, is really jumping the shark. It would be one thing if that quote was some "coded" message, but this was your answer? Do you even realize how ridiculous you sound?
