Alleged Greco Roman #Culturalimperialism Doesn't Cause People to like good looking naked people

From the Civilizations  documentary on PBS

I'm skeptical that Greco-Roman cultural imperialism 💪 is the reason that most normal people - with the exception of #TentaclePorn loving 😘🦑#KurtEichenwald-like to look at good looking naked people, since most people still don't speak Greek or Latin. pic.twitter.com/m5p9IsuaHy

SJW nonsense from PBS attacking European art and capitalism to promote fat ugly communist chicks:

Chubby British Chick aka Mary Beard: Or are they simply a tease? Praxiteles has established the edgy relationship between a statue of a woman and the assumed male viewer that has never been lost through the history of European art.  

Narrator: Although cultures from around the world have evolved radical different ways of seeing the female form, the impact of both imperialism and globalization has tended to give undue prominence to the way it is seen in the West.  A way of looking that remains a constant source of debate and criticism.  

Skinny SJW chick aka Maya Jasanoff: I still think that we have a lot of really unexamined assumptions about what constitutes a beautiful  or desirable body.  We have a lot of uneaxamined assumptions about what constitutes an attractive or an aesthetically appealing way to look.  And you have only to open up the pages of a woman's magazine as people are commonly pointing out to see how incredibly narrow the space is in  a certain kind of Western aesthetic consciousness for what a woman can look like. Similar kinds of things can be applied to men as well.  

Narrator: Reinforced by commercial interests, the cult of youth and beauty, begun by the ancient Greeks,   is perhaps more powerful than ever today.




Tonkin, Boyd. “How the Greeks Invented the Modern Idea of Us as Human Beings.” The Independent, Independent Digital News and Media, 24 Mar. 2015, www.independent.co.uk/life-style/history/how-the-greeks-invented-the-modern-idea-of-us-as-human-beings-10131361.html.

those beautiful bodies in the British Museum remind us of the Greek cult of flawless youth. To Cartledge, "the ancients have some responsibility" for the time-defying neuroses of the contemporary catwalk, the fashion shoot or the gym. "Old age really was abhorred: physical decay was not something the ancients were keen on – they were the 'forever young' fanatics."

The video editor with their choice of visuals seem to imply that the USA is an imperialist power, although the person being interviewed doesn't explicitly state so.

Narrator: Published in 1764, it was in these pages that Winkelmanm? he elevated the Apollo beyond a mere artwork to become the ultimate symbol of high civilization.

Skinny SJW Chick: When Winckelmann was celebrating the body of the Greek statue, he was laying claim to a certain kind of aesthetic tradition that he then successfully planted in the heart of an ongoing Western tradition and an understanding of what counts as the "beautiful body."

This is a photo of the posterior of the Kostas Dimitriadis statue in Randall's Island Park, New York City so you don't see his naughty bits hanging out all over the place.

Narrator: As a result, the Greco-Roman style was carried to every corner of Europe and far beyond.

Narrator: And just as Winckelmann might have wanted, it became the very emblem of civilization.



Skinny SJW: And so this is why you see at the end of 18th and early 19th Centuries the rebuilding of the French empire under Napoleon.

Skinny SJW: You have the British Empire building itself in the image of the Roman Empire.

Skinny SJW: And you see abroad in places like Calcutta, India expressions of the same kinds of neoclassical aesthetic urge placed there by the British to try and say, "We belong to this tradition"

Skinny SJW: So the dominance of a particular type of aesthetic vision in high fine art in the modern West is an expression of a particular kind of power.

Encouraging young women to embrace a lifestyle that causes horrible diseases and premature death is not "empowering" or "inclusive," it's incredibly harmful.

This is why 3rd wave feminism is a global laughing stock.https://t.co/o1rs2uMIV0
