  • Looked for this comment before saying the same thing. This is just what emerged at that time as a wonderfully convenient tax avoidance scheme, however organically. Art gatekeepers are tax dodgers’ useful idiots.

    It may be aesthetic. It may be beautiful. But applauding while traitors converge upon some artist and their work is a mistake. They will always use this shit to rob society blind.

    Luckily the time for highly centralized art opinion is somewhat over with the internet. It is much harder now to ‘force’ opinion to be that so-and-so is just divine and worth ten billion dollars for any art they create.







  • Also in that field, but… I think you have to acknowledge that being, usually, in your example 1) at work and 2) on a computer, make people that much less interested in giving a shit. Compare to various systems people use in their free time, and you probably see that people are pretty good at attending to the things they think matter.

    Capitalism, or, at the very very least, unfettered capitalism, are the real problem, not people writ large.
