I was watching Jonathon Bowden videos on youtube to satisfy my inner LARPer, and there were several episodes of this guy's podcast where he discusses philosophy with Bowden.

He's certainly at least read them, but compared to Bowden he's basically illiterate.

To be fair, Bowden makes most people sound illiterate in comparison.

I'm not that person, who is a troll, but it's true that the academic left pushes tons of constructivist and inclusionary tripe that seeks to level all art and expression. Soon there will be professors in conservatories who teach students Kanye West instead of Bach, and they will accuse all the other professors of racism unless they do the same.

Maybe, in public schools and universities, everything will be swallowed up by resentment in our lifetime.

Have you ever been to a music thread on /pol/? I mean, the only Wagner you see - and you'd expect him to be their guy of choice - is the Ride of the Valkyries because none of them have even bothered to watch/listen to the Ring or any of Wagner's operas for that matter.

But it is exactly what they do. I know Wagner's music doesn't lend itself particularly well to being broken into independent sections, so asking someone what their favourite bit of Wagner is a lot more difficult than asking for their favourite Verdi aria, but it's always the Ride of the Valkyries. They'd probably really like the prelude of Parisfal, but it doesn't appear as much in pop culture so they have no clue.

Very naive of you. Their idea of classical music is Wagner. They'd rather listen to vapourwave anyway. Art threads usually boil down to the same 5 or 6 paintings, one Ilya Repin and a handful of bougereaus. As for lit, they hate fiction and the only philosopher they consistently like is Evola, who none of them have read. I get pretty butthurt at commies for reading only Marx but at least they read him. The only book they discuss that I reckon they have read is the bell curve, although I haven't read that so I don't know.
