"The Renaissance was thrillingly elitist, which gives it its décolleté-like attraction for the few and decidedly not for the many. And this was because the Renaissance was bought and paid for. A country, an age, has to be able to afford a Renaissance, and it is instructive to note the difference between what the Italian aristocracy considered worth patronising, and where billionaire philanthropists place their charitable giving today.
That said, the Denaissance is funded every bit as much as the Renaissance was, it’s just that the nature of the donors has changed, their place in the social apparatus has shifted. Where the Renaissance was fiscally enabled by rich patrons attempting to outdo one another in the hiring of renowned artists, musicians, engineers and architects, the Denaissance is bankrolled by Western income tax, redistributed to governmental workers briefed either to remove and replace anything of cultural value, or risk losing their jobs and never working again. The rich paid for the Renaissance. The poor are funding the Denaissance."

“The new totalitarianism is not characterized by a particular worldview; no, it is the denial of the assumption that the world can indeed be recognized, understood, explained as it is.
This is evident, for example, in the doublethink-alike contradiction that on the one hand, a relentless identity politics is pursued that knows and allows no nuances and gray areas, but on the other hand, it is emphasized that there is no identity at all because it is only a social construct.
Therefore, one can choose their own identity, even though it is not real, and be someone they are not. In such a world, it will be possible to manipulate people as brainless masses at will.”
