you destroy beauty, you go to gulag

The speaker questions whether mass culture is similar to destroying human thought and beauty. They argue that supporting mass culture is unnecessary and leads to the dilution and destruction of beauty and the human soul. The speaker makes a comparison to going to the gulag as a consequence of this support. Isn't that the same thing with this mass culture? How can you support that? I don't think you need to. I mean, aren't you just destroying human thought? I don't think you need to. Basically, essentially, by doing this, you're destroying beauty, you're diluting beauty, you're destroying the human soul, you go to the gulag.
