Why do marxists hate nationalists more than capitalists? Nationalists don't have any power anywhere, whereas capitalists own everything, including the information that leftoids get their indignant hero complex from. Why can't they put the pieces together, stop being pussy faggots, and attack rich people?

True. You wouldn't call a prose piece a sonnet, would you? though that doesn't stop people from trying, as though they're prepared to ignore the rules as to what constitutes such a form, but still feel entitled to the praise that goes along with writing a good one. Why go to the pains of keeping metre and rhyme, when you can write out a line of prose, and subdivide it into line breaks instead? Pitch a tent and call it a cathedral. You can pick and choose however much you want, so long as you have the safety net of subjectivity to fall into when someone dares to hold your work to a standard. I agree that art, ultimately is subjective, but creatives all too often use it to avoid honing their craft, avoid failure, and avoid constructive criticism. You should master your art from a technical perspective before you start thinking about subjectivity. And if you were to the say, well how can one objectively measure the mastery of one's craft, you're already starting to cop-out. People recognise mastery when they see, read, and hear it, and they know intuitively when what they're experiencing is bullshit. I have friends that fall into this trap and it pains me to never see them grow as artists because of it.
