I mean yes, they're exceptionally ugly shoes. But it goes much deeper than that; whether whoever designed them realizes or not, they are replicating a historical pattern that demonstrates why fascist ideology and the fascists who buy into it, cannot actually create cultural product. When you burn your artists and heterodox thinkers at the stake, you're left with nothing but a million grifters trying to skullfuck the old style but "shinier" every time, and that's not a random outcome.

@AnarchoNinaWrites So, A.I. in tangible form?

@Rich1047 YES, I hadn't thought of that, but yes I think you're correct in noting that the same phenomenon is going on there. Absolutely. There's an absence of meaning, a focus on form, minus meaning, at work in both places. You're dead right I think.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @Rich1047 This is because embracing fascism is a form of self-trepannation it means you have to just take out certain parts of your brain in order to sustain belief in the horrible things you are believing.

That’s my theory anyway.
