Word! Too much romanticization of "the simple days of youth", and not enough appreciation for the wonderful days of actually getting to decide what you do!

This romanticization of factory work is so weird. People need to dust off their Upton Sinclair.
A huge majority of Americans say that more people should work in manufacturing - but that they, personally, don't want to.

The romanticization of the strike as a performance of class struggle over its actual purpose (obtaining concessions at the bargaining table through economic warfare) is a problem on the left.

related: representation is not romanticization!

encouraging writers to consider the experiences of people living with mental illness and disability is not “romanticization.” it’s documenting the human condition and helping people feel less alone.
*sighs and taps the sign*

depiction is not endorsement!

Much like real Bushido, poster's bushido is a post facto romanticization of an earlier era of uncontrolled conflict, constructed by the inhabitants of a more centralized system to justify their own pretensions.
poster's bushido logically implies the existence of historical european posting arts

ERM but have you considered romanticization fetishization glorification glamorization??

there's something of the Russian 'the peasants love me, their master' in this, but it's also because of the unusually powerful status of Black culture in America. the closest (and not all that close) European equivalent might be the simultaneous romanticization and denigration of Roma?
They really want the people who they view as inferior and worthy of abuse to agree with them.

That's what the "black person thinks I'm cool" thing is about - it's the equivalent of "black person thanked me for being racist".

romanticization in a time of crisis

all this reminds me a bit of the romanticization of depression-era bank robbers

I've described this (as well as the romanticization of violent protest) as the left's version of the Cult of the Operator because it is ultimately about the participants being able to aura farm

We went long on Botstein’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein and the minimization—and even romanticization—of sexual violence that he cultivated at @bardcollege.bsky.social on @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social: pod.link/1696774612/e...

Mine gets like ironic romanticization

I love art. I love this craft of visual romanticization. Seeing how people interpret the world around them with their feelings and thoughts poetically laid bare in line and color. Art can ignite the imagination and passion in others and it’s all done by moving a stick around with intent and emotion.
Fuck your complaints. What’s something you love?

Pineapple was also tied to the romanticization of Hawaii and Polynesia by returning soldiers after the war.

Middlemarch is a wonderful book for a lot of reasons, but one of them is the analysis of romanticization and idealism as both laudable and potentially destructive

I don't want to contribute to romanticization of humble Trump voting rural men and women, but his voters can be downright decent one-on-one. A few aren't even interpersonally racist or sexist! But their ideas on politics and how the world should be are racist, sexist, and heavily influenced by lies.
I'd say that you can find good in many people who voted for Trump, but you won't find it in their reasons for voting for Trump or in their ideas about politics.

I know Trump voters who can be kind and generous and loving. If you ask why they voted for Trump they'll give you misinfo and bigotry.

The romanticization of the Louvre heist baffles me. A bunch of thieves stole jewelry that belonged to the collective people so some billionaire could give it to his mistress.

It's a symbol of how billionaires are parasites, not some cheeky populist move.

we lost draupnir bc of the romanticization of the front at malevelon creek, and we should all be ashamed

either and had the even bigger issues of being highly exclusive institutions that were foundations of class power and ideological reterritorialization, and the romanticization of the university's past avoids this. perhaps universities were never good, but pedagogy could be
