Part 6/14:
Amidst this chaos, artists and culture are gasping their last breaths. A recent article in The New York Times laments that contemporary culture has come to a standstill—art itself has "died," as ideological conflict quashes genuine creativity. Modernism, formerly centered on change and progress, now finds itself at an end, replaced by a global cultural stagnation where illusions and pastiches predominate.
The link is clear: as evil spreads through political and ideological depravity—be it the lie-ridden narratives about Gaza hospital strikes or the denial of biological facts—art, which reflects life, is suffering. Art has always been opposed to ideology; it’s a mirror and illumination of human experience, and when subjected to totalitarian dogma, it withers.
