Why Woke People Are Making Everything Ugly

A public sculpture is removed because it offends someone. A classic painting is covered with a cloth because it depicts a naked body. A statue of a historical figure is torn down because the figure had flaws. The woke movement has declared war on beauty. And they are winning.In this episode, I examine the aesthetic consequences of woke ideology. The movement that claims to celebrate diversity has created a culture of uniformity. Everything must be safe. Everything must be inoffensive. Everything must be approved by a committee. The result is not beauty. The result is blandness.The episode explores specific examples of woke ugliness. The redesign of classic logos to be more inclusive. The removal of statues without replacement. The censorship of art that depicts the human form. The architecture of government buildings that look like prisons. The woke movement does not trust beauty because beauty is subjective. Subjectivity cannot be policed. The result is a world that is less beautiful, less interesting, and less human.Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because woke people are making everything ugly. And they do not even see it.
