"The problem is that nearly everything that is produced has to be filtered through large corporations"

No, it doesn't.

"major decisions are often made by filthy, uncultured pig-like creatures who hate creativity"

Completely meaningless invective.

"In the US, to be creative requires that you fight against the larger society, and succeed in spite of it rather than with its assistance."

Isn't this a good thing? Easy, struggle-less art is boring and complacent.

"Our artistic successes exist because we have a large population and (for other reasons) draw ambitious people from all over the world"

Which "(for other reasons)" draw creative people here? I'm sure it's got nothing to do with the incentives for successful creativity in the US.

"parasites who don't actually do anything have almost all of the power, and the truly creative are almost always treated as pawns"

No-evidence polemic, and not even entertaining polemic at that.
