"The current obsession with nostalgia and remake culture is easy to understand when you realize that it's a symptom of a culture that isn't allowed to imagine a future."

nah, Hollywood defines culture more than you seem to accept.

Is defining culture the same as advancing culture?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

fuck is "advancing culture" exactly? honest question, because the idea of culture advancing is a farce, it changes yes, but advancing is some constructionist idea that always draws from some authoritarian colonialist bullshit, example, the "advanced European culture" vs "the primitive non-Europeans"

That's a pretty good question. I 💯 agree that it can fall into authoritarian colonial bullshit, and in fact that's probably what I was thinking of in terms of 'defining' vs 'advancing'. I'll invoke the case of the 'Sad Puppies', a bunch of lame ass white men who were super mad that the Hugos were overwhelmingly going to 'not white men' (read: interesting BIPOC voices everyone loves and gasp......women?!).

I would probably claim the Sad Puppies tried to define culture.

The rest of the attendees advanced it by telling them to fuck right off.
