Destroying the "people are interested in people" scam

 People and art are one and the same. We can not be separated. Why the hell would you even attempt that? Apparently some people have decided to do that because they don't give a shit about art.

Whenever I hear stupid things like "people are interested in people" or "people are more important than art", I immediately realise how narrow-minded all this deceitful nonsense is. You can't just say the word people and leave it there. Who are they? What are they doing and what are they truly interested in?

Art is one of the few things that show us what is underneath the surface. Underneath all the bullshit. Is that something you don't like? You're a fan of bullshit? The stinkier the better?

Saying the word community is not enough either. What kind of community are we talking about? What is actually happening? We don't need more shallow pretending. Fake positivity is extremely important and useful to oppressive societies.

Is that the kind of future you're interested in?
