Haha it’s the usual navel gazing gender and class business. No wonder these people are on SSRIs. There is happiness out there to experience instead of writing the latest LLM grade “long form” garbage about how men are stopping you from being a poet.
Miserable people with an external locus of control. It’s always someone else who’s responsible - men, the rich, society. What a dismal use of a human mind. Congratulations on plumbing new lows in the genre of repetitive parrotry of your peer group - all of whom have been going to a therapist for years for intergenerational trauma no doubt.
I offer up a new villain to blame for your lack of creativity: AI. Go forth now and multiply your words in a mirror of this technology in an effort to describe why, if not for this evil, you would be an artist.
The loneliness of a home office - and everything in the article would be equally true
It's endlessly interesting to me that despite the fact that the modern educated middle class are overwhelmingly left wing and dominate the "cultural sphere" (because they can afford to), there's still a reluctance to really talk about class and their own position in the class system in favour of lip service supporting minorities and marketable individual identities. Originally the struggles of the labour class and gaining support and solidarity from those that had more wealth and opportunities was the most central core concern of the left wing. It's probably also the primary reason for the rise of reactionary right wing parties.
