>Typical artisan... big promises, but all talk.
>What?
>Jump-start the creativity? What a load of bullshit! All you care about is lining your own pockets. That, and your follower counts. You've got no principles, just like all the rest. If Art has gone to shit, you're just another maggot crawling in the pile.
>All right, the truth then. You're right about one thing... I do need capital. And watchers. Wanna know why? I have a dream. That one day, every artist in this nation will be able to hold to their OWN vision. A land of the TRULY free, dammit. A nation of IMAGINATION, not market research. Ruled by PASSION, not target groups. Where the trend changes to suit the individual, not the other way around. Where judgement and choice are back where they belong: in the hands of the creators! Where every man is free to imagine -- to create -- for himself! Fuck all these limp-dick porn hacks and chicken-shit industry draughthorses. Fuck this 24/7 internet spew of kitsch and mass-produced bullshit. Fuck race for productivity. Fuck the industry. Fuck all of it! Art is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it -- we need to pull it out by the roots. Wipe the canvas clean. BURN IT DOWN. And from the ashes a new artist kind will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The talentless will be purged and the greatest will thrive -- free to create as they see fit, they'll make Art great again!
>What the hell are you talking about...
>You still don't get it. I'm using art as a business to get elected... so I can end art as a business. In my new world, artists will create and destroy for what they BELIEVE! Not for money. Not for portfolio! Not for what they're told sells now. Every man will be free to follow his own visions! So... What do you think?
