>Why is it that only the rich kids get to study English literature?
Modern western culture peaked in the mid 20th century, and ever since has been slowly regressing back down into the mud of barbarism; this includes a temporary return to feudal conditions in which all culture and art is dictated solely by a inbred posse of nepotistic oligarchs. What slays me is the propensity of right-wing retards to blame you for DARING to study lit instead of muh STEM serf labor, and then wonder why it is that the right almost always loses the culture/media/art war against the left. I also get a kick how the right's fetishization of muh STEM & engineering & industrialization & tech innovation directly contributes to the destabilization & devaluation of traditional society & traditional artforms, & necessitates deeper & deeper explorations of abstraction & experimentation.
