They, the multitudes who reason like this, are incapable of separating morality and beauty because their beings have been deeply politicized. So they can only think in terms of political power and social justice. As such they will be dictators when they get their hands on beauty, they will jealously point to a beautiful flower in the garden of a member of an elite and say 'this doesn't belong here with the '1 percent', it is not fair'. Beauty will have to submit to their pettiness and the logic of their political slogans, which are holy to them, it will have to be subjugated to their incapacity of disinterested appreciation. Not only will they jealously point to the beauty in the garden of an elite, their fairness is the fairness of continuous equalization, so they will divide beauty fair and try to chop of the head of anyone in possession or capable of creating more beauty than they have, that is, not because they recognize it, but when the word goes around of beauty being present, they will apply their equal and fair distribution logic to it. When the beauty has cost a lot of money, like that of architecture, they are of course the first to point their fingers at it, the unfairness! when the beauty is of a sort of which the production does not costs much financially, but is appreciated only by the few, they will say that it costs time, and that the creator of it has been wasting his time, that he should invest his time in making products which can be appreciated by the greater collective, preferably the greatest, the 99 percent. The logic of envy, which is based on the incapacity of disinterested appreciation expresses itself in a variety of forms. In the case of for instance religious architecture of which a lot has indeed been made by means of oppressing the people, of their blood an sweat, but it being centuries ago, they will still today, even when such practices have been long ago discontinued in that area, forbid people to enjoy the beauty, as they are moralists of envy. So they will intermingle with the few non political forum topics like this, to point with their moralist politicized finger. It is in place though as David Icke himself continuously enforces the democratic myth of the people being the good, the simple and honest, at worst being misguided, always victim, so he enforces the victim complex of those for which it is convenient. This forum is crammed with such types.

You are politicizing beauty, by means of which you betray that you have no love for beauty itself. If you want beauty for the people, you should promote the art which dictators loved, art for the people, especially designed for them.

Indeed the word modern is sometimes also used to indicate the period as far back as the renaissance, starting from the rise of science and art.

To add the final blow, the internet itself is about centralization and uniformization. What you find there is what is popular, which is more of the same, even the alternative media are more of the same. Basically the internet as a medium, and the computer means uniformization, it is a reduced experience, away from the richness of physical reality, the richness of the sensuous/spiritual reality and real individuality, into a bleak uniform world of poverty, aesthetically, mentally and in terms of culture. The industrial process, started over 150 years ago produces ever more of the same, computer technology produces more of the same, it is the product of standardized computer 'intelligence', which means centralization/uniformization both in terms of aesthetics and thought. Then people think they are different because the colour of their car is different, or its shape or size, or they have a different desktop background.., or a different colour of smartphone, or a different theme on their Wordpress site... This is al a laughing stock of course, superficial difference. In short, industrial technology and micro-technology has already for about one century and a half standardized and centralized the world. Imagine, on the internet you regularly have to prove to a 'robot' (a piece of code) that you are human.. contemplate on that... what it signifies.

" TPTB are clearly working to try and 'centralise' the Internet, in order to 'control the flow' of information. " Wordpress, if used from Wordpress servers is already centralized... By any means, the ubiquitously present Wordpress system is already a functional and aesthetic uniformization (all the sites basically look like each other). This forum is also secured by cloudflare robot algorithms (which is one of the reason of being blocked messages). Al this is already highly charateristic of uniformization, dehumanizing algorithms and centralization, of which alleged 'TPTB' efforts to centralize are just the finishing tough of uniformization. In all respects, and all areas, their so called uniformization and centralization attempts are in every field little more than the finishing touch, considering that all Western societies are already hyper-regulated and bureaucratic to an extent and breath which knows absolutely no historical precedent, not even under the rule of dictators, kings and historical elites. Not ever in history has the arm of the state and institutions extended so far, not ever before has their existed such vast armies of bureaucrats, not ever before such armies of managerial classes. As such, revolting against a 'TPTB' is little more than the revolt of a caged bird, revolting against a smaller cage. The elites are possibly doing people a favour, instead of the slow hardly visible uniformization and centralization which is gradually accepted, which creeps on unnoticed over long periods of time, because the memory of most people does not go back further than a few decades, and their knowledge of history and consequently their big picture is based on democratic propaganda (falsified history), when the elites impose more centralization all at once, as a shock therapy.. the caged bird might for once become aware of his slavery...

To throw some Schopenhauer into the mix. http://manteau.nl/philosophy/arthur-schopenhauer-on-the-metaphysics-of-the-beautiful-and-aesthetics Some might argue this is too much theory, but theory provides for ammunition in the form of reasoned arguments, which is very much needed these days. It also helps to clarify and intensify ones own vision.

To provide a quote from Shiller on the importance and place of beauty.

For those philosophically inclined (to provide a philosophical foundation) I would point to the works of Friedrich Schiller 'Aesthetical and Philosophical Essays'. http://manteau.nl/philosophy/schiller-aesthetical-and-philosophical-essays-introduction Inspirational are also the writings of Oscar Wilde, starting here, with his work 'Intentions': http://manteau.nl/philosophy/oscar-wilde-intentions-the-decay-of-lying Or in general, works and quotes of Oscar Wilde: http://manteau.nl/category/media/textual/oscar-wilde
