The presidential obsession with cultural control is evidence of a continued fascist creep and not just another joke exercise in narcissism. For example the National Endowment for the Arts updated grant policies to eliminate funding for anything interpreted as related to Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) while prioritizing propagandistic projects that celebrate the semiquincentennial of the US. Most galling in an unhinged Truth Social rant Trump purged the board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts installing himself as the chair while extolling his Vision for a GOLDEN AGE of American Arts and Cultureon the same social media site. He barked: NO MORE DRAG SHOWS OR OTHER ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA ONLY THE BEST. RIC WELCOME TO SHOW BUSINESS!

"Humans have spent 99 percent of our developmental time in the wild kingdom, which tutored us in what Rob Kall calls bottom-up values?small, local, interdependent, respectful, egalitarian and decentralized -- and which the world desperately needs in order to balance out some of the darker impulses of top-down values. His faith that bottom-up values represent a critical re-balancing act for humanity, if not an outright better mousetrap, is compelling and hard-won, and I offer him a high-five for his courageous inquiry into the deep wisdom inherent in our age-old intimacy with natural rhythms, native intelligences, and interconnectedness."
