• Crisis of Passion – Bronze Age Pervert, Erika Kirk, Roger Scruton, Bernini

  Crisis of Passion – We talk about art, weirdness, and the crisis of passion. The Bronze Age Pervert talks about the Christian takeover of Trump’s movement. These Christians blame postmodern culture and memes for Charlie Kirk’s murder. We talk about how pointing at postmodernism and irony becomes a veiled form of censorship, and how there is artistic opportunity in the reconciliation of Christians with the rotting corpse, the stink, the body on the cross. We talk about Mel Gibson, Brechtian theater, the Counter-Reformation, and Bernini’s Theresia trembling in delicious pain.TAGS: KIRAC, Keeping It Real Art Critics, Bronze Age Pervert, BAP, Nietzsche, Christianity, Trump, Charlie Kirk, Postmodernism, Memes, Censorship, Crisis of Passion, Weirdness, Faith, Art, Brechtian Theater, Counter-Reformation, Bernini, Theresia, Mel Gibson, Erotic Religion, Philosophy, Religion, Art Criticism, Political Culture, Culture War, Christian Art, Modern Christianity, Roger Scruton, Hypocrisy, Vitality, Shame, Desire, Catholic Aesthetics, Baroque Art, Faith and Art, Artistic Freedom, Christian takeover Trump, Bronze Age Pervert podcast, Crisis of passion KIRAC, Postmodern irony censorship, Counter Reformation art, Bernini Theresia passion, KIRAC philosophy, Art and Christianity, Weirdness in art, Erotic ChristianityWatch our films on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/keepingitrealartcritics

• Elon Musk vs Peter Thiel – The Metaphysical Fight of the Billionaires

  KIRAC analyzes this metaphysical struggle: Mars versus the Cross. Where billionaires compete over truth and power.René GirardGirard’s scapegoat theory says societies preserve order by directing violence onto a victim. Christianity is decisive because it reveals this mechanism, taking the side of the victim. This revelation is apocalyptic. Thiel uses this to make Christianity the final framework for meaning and power.Friedrich NietzscheNietzsche distinguished ruler morality — strength, creation, affirmation — from slave morality built on guilt and obedience. He saw Christianity as the victory of slave morality. In this conversation, Musk represents the Apollonian, ruler path of technology and Mars, while Thiel embodies the priestly, ascetic path that demands belief as the condition of rule.The conversation turns on these frames: Girard’s Christianity-as-apocalypse and Nietzsche’s morality split, showing how Musk and Thiel fight over metaphysical territory — Mars versus the Cross.Runtime 18 minutes. Release date 2025 september 18 6pm (CEST)youtube: https://youtu.be/-389a5927Kk patreon for our films: https://www.patreon.com/keepingitrealartcritics

• Art and Tyranny ft. Kate Sinha, Stefan Ruitenbeek, Pierre d’Alancaise

  I am pleased with this conversation. Pierre d’Alancaisez, critic and curator of the art space Verdurin, speaks with us about our upcoming artwork and the theory behind it. Our optimism mirrors his pessimism, which allows us to articulate our stance on power and authority. It is a conversation about a world sliding into a multipolar, authoritarian, post-democratic reality — and what this means for art, for our art. - Autonomy kills eros- ⁠N***** Billionaires and the collapse of meaning without aristocracy- Nietzsche’s artist metaphysics as a path beyond democracyAnd for some gossip: at 41:40 we discuss the unforgivable erotic ambush on Daniel Miller, literary editor of IM1776, by Sandra and other KIRAC courtiers.Runtime: 2h 9m, Release date thursday september 11, 2025Note: This episode discusses controversial language used in public discourse.
