Manifesto Anti- Kitsch

5- The Cult of Kitsch or Kitsch as Cult Part 2

 

McCarthyism in the United States began to chase the true artists who were not in accordance with the prevailing values, ​​accusing them of communist kitsch, that in the long-term has turned Hollywood in the current Kitsch Dream factory

Maybe it's because time to develop and deepen and not to drop the culture as a way to combat this reversal of values ​​imposed by the dominant Kitsch, and after being kitsch today is perhaps to be avant-garde as the true culture clashes with the established notions of what is "good taste", then it can be considered a kitsch in Establishment of view.

Hence as we said at the beginning of this article this site has a name that involves two deliberate or seemingly contradictory concepts. Maybe be Kitsch is now fighting for a culture considered the status quo of power and the middle class that he politicized, as aberrant, dysfunctional, aggressive or out of fashion.

You have to understand this historical dilemma that tolerate that the religious power, politicians and scientists, who through their associates, the MEDIA, absurdly dictate us where it is legitimate to use the human imagination, eliminating the curiosity and generating misinformation and ignorance as a form of control, creating the inability to break with common sense, which has always been the catalyst for social and political change.

Thus the established Power is in a state of self-generated sclerosis, which usually leads to violent and disruptive breakups of the current status quo.

It is therefore time to surrender us to the evidence that what is needed is that we should Change our minds.

"Every person takes the limits of their own field of vision for the limits of the world." 

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."

Arthur Schopenhauer
