tbf i'm not sure the average person ever had much cultural imagination. this mindset basically describes the people i grew up with in the george w era suburbs, and probably a lot of normies in every generation previous. now there are just infinitely more ways to commodify one's conformity
this is true and i meant to add that in as...maybe i'm just getting real annoyed with everyone and everything ("everyone and everything") opting for lowest common denominator? give me some SPICE!!!! but you're right: "infinitely more ways to commodify one's conformity" is the scary truth. it's also what, say, the powers that be want...i assume so at least @___@ anyway thanks for reading jackie!
Canadians will hate me saying this, but that pew research is a self fulfilling prophecy. I think it works against us and we don't deal with issues and things get downplayed a lot.
My man. You’ve awakened an old intellectual hobby horse of mine: the class coding of different modes of transit. Loosey goosey theory that trains feel simultaneously more futuristic and at a remove from the huddled masses, but also more romantic jn a steam punk kind of way. Whereas buses feel of the detritus.
