The philosophy of aesthetics : Rococo and revolution
French 18th century Rococo is rather cartoonish in nature and a preclude for much of the Disney style
In the 18th century Rococo painting was meant to
provide a return in art to a lighthearted, pure visual pleasure. It was also a symbol of meta-cultural decline. Often depicting the wealthy French upper class flirting and spending
leisure in a classical high art way. This was the pre-revolutionary 'luxury' that was a sure sign of the ensuing collapse of the traditional society. The abuse of the poor by the rich for the
sake of luxury summarized by that teen queen. The combination of a world of teenagers who can live luxuriously while being so naive of the suffering of others is rampant today. “Let them eat cake” is the words
of someone confusing pleasure with survival and was someone who was right for overthrow and
revolution.

Then the first thing will be to establish a censorship of the writers of fiction, and let the censors receive any tale of fiction which is good, and reject the bad; and we will desire mothers and nurses to tell their children the authorized ones only. -Plato Argument is great, name calling is childish, and so any slander, BS or unethical behaviour won't pass moderation.
