How lonely does one have to be to keep creating new usernames in an attempt to interact with people that have zero interest in interacting with you?

I think you just described being a dad of middle schoolers.

I got my 13-year old to admit to liking a Silkworm song ("Dremate").

Ahh, VICTORY!!

Let me tell you about the time I tried to convince my middle school daughter why Big Star is cool...

If it still has beans on it, that's probably the issue there.

The PRC has been and still is way more serious than nazi Germany was.

Chill dude. I was speaking specifically about certain attitudes toward intellectual property. Nothing else.

(Also: William Morris, modernism, communism, nazism... what?)

Francis Dec, is that you?

No love for the PRC, but wow.

Ok got it, I thought you suggested this guy was somehow connected to the present state of China. But I don't really see the relevance either. I think we all know there is probably less space for artistic creativity in China than in the UK or whatever. Dictatorial governments tend to do that. Are not these very present circumstances explanation enough for this difference? You could have had a dozen William Morrises in China, wouldn't do much for the present situation of their artistic creators. The parrallel to Nazi Germany is also pretty random, there's nothing distinctly Nazi about suppressing dissident art.

As for the working conditions of China: If you want to argue that conditions of labour and production are better explanators of the perceptible presence or absence of creativity in manufacturing than some stated overriding artistic ethos, that's fair and I didn't consider that (but you make reference to such an ethos regarding William Morris, so I don't know). But nobody working an assembly line manufacturing job anywhere in the world has any personal creative input in the production process, so it wouldn't seem to make much difference.

I don't know where the rest of your post is going, because you don't disagree with me on anything. And you missed my point again: I was talking about conceptions of and attitudes toward proprietorship and originality.
