Brecht, I think, pushed things in a good direction, not just bc I agree with him politically, he was actually fun to listen to if you got into it, but idk if there is something like that out there nowadays. Especially since Brecht has been laundered quite a bit in his cultural reception afaik. Definitely think things should be more participatory and less consumption-oriented, also theatre industry sucks royal ass. does the US one bully talents into nervous breakdowns as well?
Awful. Makes me actually mad, even though it doesn't affect me directly. This system needs to die. I remember the Le Guin story about the one child being tortured for the sake of the a city's happiness, but obviously we already have
, so ig we are at the point of optimizing child mistreatment for 
and 
's treats
I wish I could just do that for its own sake. I don't even wanna set foot into a Laypeople's theatre troupe by now anymore, bc even there it's about one-upping and social prestige (not generally, I just live in a structurally fucked place)
