The creation of large sports and entertainment facilities. The creation of massive art and music distributors and corporate media. The creation of the radio, TV, internet, and satellite. The creation of Democratic systems.
These are the evolution of plurality. Democratic evolution. Humanity voting in an attempt to free itself
Robert Jenkins Onderdonk: the fall of the Alamo
Texas is a cradle of liberty. Though more recently diminished because of unfortunate corporate alliances with truly dubious world figures, Texas still holds its place in history as the last stand of the Alamo. Here, we take our allegiance seriously: though the modern contradiction of technofeudalism aims to exploit the very spiritual resource that made our once great state the proud envy of the world. We explore the art that expresses our present discontent.

Protest art is the creative works produced by activists and social movements. It is a traditional means of communication, utilized by a cross section of collectives and the state to inform and persuade citizens.[1] Protest art helps arouse base emotions in their audiences, and in return may increase the climate of tension and create new opportunities to dissent. Since art, unlike other forms of dissent, takes few financial resources, less financially able groups and parties can rely more on performance art and street art as an affordable tactic.[1]
Much of the protest art today is aimed at fascists ideology
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
