The art of the 20th century was Futurist audacity,
What remains of Futurism: the insane heroism of the white race in unstoppable decline
What is art after the 20th century?
An exhausted symptom of becoming nothingness?
After the Nazi-liberal extermination that began with Pinochet and Thatcher:
Acceleration, convulsion, collapse.
Perhaps an epidemic of depression?
But luckily there is war, amphetamine for depression.
Heroism and dementia of the white race.
Holocaust on the frontier and on the seas.
Nazism is Europe's truth, Anders, Breivik its peer.
The post covid generation: last by necessity, last by choice?
Extinction as a paradoxical strategy:
Mass dropout from work, non-participation, non-birth,
desertion.

YOUTUBER hang Xinmin was inspired to write a song about tangping. It's censored in China.

I love this song so much I just had to translate the lyrics. I've also provided Mandarin pinyin and a few explanatory notes for those who are studying Mandarin. I usually read and translate classical, not contemporary sources, so if anyone would like to suggest changes, go ahead and do so by replying to this comment! Enjoy!

NOTES:
[1] "Competition's inward spiral" (neijuan 内卷): Technically refers to an "involution," but has come to denote areas of extreme and toxic social or professional competition, such as China's college entrance examinations or office workers' determination to work overtime in order to compete at work. I found this explanation very illuminating: https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/250474212
[2] "Wage slaves" (shechu 社畜): Originally a Japanese term (Shachiku), company employees who sacrifice everything for work.
[3] What I have translated as "by now, pay later" is, in the original lyric, actually much more specific. My dictionary (Pleco) explains the term huabei as: "Ant Check Later," consumer credit service offered by Ant Financial Services (Ma3yi3 jin1fu2 蚂蚁金服) [an affiliate of the Chinese AliBaba Group].
[4] "The magic weapon" (fabao 法宝) refers to a magical talisman or any other talismanic object.
