Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added contextThis highly simplify things. Soviet rule of the baltics was followed by deportations and colletivization. This push the idea of "they did also good things". But with this one can justify all types of brutal regimes. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_st…- Replying to @roun_sa_villeThe funniest part of this is that Pakistan and India basically have same amount of nukes, despite Pakistan having both a smaller population and GDP than India.
- Replying to @SuperSatanSon and @malphierThe point of OP's post wasn't that people aren't capable of making this kind of art anymore, but that it simply isn't worth the time and effort it takes. Artists' make far more money making less detailed and less time costing art, extremely detailed art isn't worth it anymore.

- Replying to @SuperSatanSon and @malphierBut this isn't about how much money an artist makes, but how much time they can spend on an art piece without compromising their income and even if an artist can make enough money to make highly detailed art, it is still going to be more profitable to make less detailed art.
- Churchill? The guy who called Mussolini "the Roman genius", "the greatest law-giver among living men" and said "if I were Italian, I am sure I would have been with you entirely from the beginning". Fervent antifascist my ass.
- Replying to @CivilMelon @SuperSatanSon and @malphierEven coming at this problem for a purely profit motivated angle, making less detailed art is faster, easier and even makes more money. After all, who would you rather support, the artist that makes one perfect piece per year or the one that makes 100 great ones per year?
- Replying to @SuperSatanSon and @malphierI agree, but I wouldn't put the blame on artists' for choosing money over making the best possible art, after all, it is what society has conditioned them to do. Society has conditioned them to seek money before all else. After all, perfect art can't buy you a house or a car-
- Replying to @eyelidcloser @Snoc_lol and @GreenTextRepostIf you’re gonna try and make a point about communists executing political prisoners, then you can at least not use a picture of the Indonesian armed forces executing suspected communists.
- Replying to @CivilMelon @SuperSatanSon and @malphierBut money can. So even the very few artists that can make highly detailed art, simply don't have a reason to.
