I do wish they would stop making reference to a “Golden Age”. It makes me immediately think of nazis.

Reposted from NPR

The president announced Friday that he would remove multiple board members, including the Chairman, who do not share his vision for a "Golden Age in Arts and Culture."

Next up he’ll be designing all the military uniforms and reprising the Degenerate Art exhibition

Right??

By “they,” I mean Trump and associates.

buzzy.nz•15 days ago

I agree. But to be fair, that wording was a direct quote from Trump himself about why he's talking over the chairman position.

brokenstarfish.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh, yeah. I wasn’t clear… by “they” I meant Trump and co. It does feel like a deliberate allusion to me. If it’s not, it’s still creepy as hell.

I’ve seen it several places now from him and people around him, to the extent that it feels workshopped, which… 😱

You just know that there’s a copy of mein kampf at the home of more than one author of the project 2025 document.

Oh, I’d bet everything I have

buzzy.nz•15 days ago

Got it :)

I wonder if he's deliberately using it and aware of the connotations, or just because it sounds cool, or someone put it in front of him and he parroted it...

I am in NZ and am pretty actively trying to avoid over saturation for my mental health, so… they’re not subtle if I am even noticing it

buzzy.nz•15 days ago

Also in NZ! I try to follow a variety of people from across the world, but it's amazing just how much of my stream in the last two weeks is US politics, the implications, and effects.

I'm wondering about a filtered feed of non-US folks for my own mental health.

brokenstarfish.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh, so you are! Yeah, I’ve been thinking similar.

I’m in hospital right now but I’ve been contemplating something like a music and bread making feed for a while (because I like to listen to music while baking bread)

brokenstarfish.bsky.social•15 days ago

I suspect the latter. I reckon it’s got Stephen Miller or Bannon all over it. Any number of Project 2025 guys.
