Dude, who even knows.

I’ve honestly run text from so many zentropista pictures into Google Translate that I’ve accidentally taught myself basic Italian and French literacy.
I’ve always prided myself on being able to see the turns of the zeitgeist coming. As Diablo Cody put it, “Actually, I try a lot”, and currently that involves browsing a few tumblrs each from the Contemporary Communist Renaissance and the Contemporary Fascist Renaissance. Without exception, the communist ones have more competent and compelling writing and the fascist ones have more competent and compelling imagery. I suppose that is the classic dichotomy.
The written form is more my idiom, but counterbalancing that there’s my various identities. There’s a reason I identify with d'Annunzio, a poet/playwright/journalist who once in parliament moved from the extreme right to the extreme left on fundamentally aesthetic grounds, who basically invented fascist spectacle but came to consider Mussolini and Hitler his enemies (mostly because they couldn’t live up to him), who was ultimately satisfied by being named a prince so he could wear a sword around and the cops couldn’t give him speeding tickets.
