This is a really awful way to look at artistic expression. I will note, though, that one of the complaints of the Roman empire in its twilight years was that everyone wanted to write a book, so I guess this 'old man shakes stick at enjoyment' thing has been around for quite awhile.
- Litost 2y agoDo you have any further info on this "one of the complaints of the Roman empire in its twilight years was that everyone wanted to write a book". I'm curious about some of the seemingly slightly oddball signs of late stage civilisation collapse and I'd not seen this one mentioned before?
