Yes, that was the case, and aristocracy and priesthood, until very recently when capitalism socialised means of production to the level of petty bourgeoise artists being able to live without patron (and note that most artists came from those three classes too, peasants and workers were way too busy working to learn art). But bourgeoisie not mean automatically "an oligarch". Ofc now there are also working artists but they mostly produce commercial slop and own nothing just like every other worker.

degradation of the creation of art for the masses of people
Ah yes the very same argument we heard when CGI, cameras, photography was invented. Probably also paper, canvas and clay tablets.
Also the meme also adress this, if it will go into open source and be available to masses, it will led to the proletarianisation of art, something that should not be overlooked as art was always gated by time so we historically see it being domain of owner classes not having to work for a living like priesthood, aristocracy and bourgeoisie.
What Cowbee wrote, but you do really need to read Capital eventually in order to truly understand how capitalism works.
I understood this during university years, the dean's office was considered a torture chamber by students, but i always was nice to the supposedly dragon ladies working there and i somehow had my paperwork always done fast, no problem and with a smile
USA is perfectly able to completely ignore its citizens being murdered if it is aligned with the interest of US ruling class. See USS Liberty, SS Athenia, or people killed by US cops.
Every us-backed coup, if they went against it
Yeah, though rest of Molten core was pretty bad, in original WoW dungeons were for some reason much better then raids.
You can see the protests are completely ineffective when even US pigs do not bother to break them.
President Xi please, Americans yearn for tungsten cubes
Nah, Yen is maybe not yet dead and buried, but even if US GTFO from there tomorrow, and Japan start economic resurgency, that resurgency will not only be way too slow, but it can be done only in cooperation and relying on China.
