All & #39;left& #39; art is like a confrontational message from the artist to a & #39;bad third party& #39; priorly agreed-upon by artist and audience, and the audience& #39;s way of & #39;enjoying it& #39; is just imagining this third party getting flustered https://twitter.com/marcrebillet/status/1296109871075676167">https://twitter.com/marcrebil...

The & #39;message& #39; has to be v. simple btw, because these ppl are too oversocialised to process ambiguity, so you have to take a very simple, even banal message ("consider that shit!") that& #39;s & #39;safe& #39; and package it thru multiple layers of irony and sincerity to make it interesting

The message is always like & #39;don& #39;t be racist!& #39; or & #39;normalise sex work!& #39; or & #39;support trans ppl!& #39; but now its in a funny youtube video with cgi dancing horseman, now its being shouted by a man at a rave, now its in balloon writing on a wall

You& #39;re not allowed to cognise upon the message or innovate on it or really even think abt it, its already decided-upon, so you have to be content with the novelty of & #39;recognising it& #39; in these different mediums

Your reminder that & #39;identity politics& #39; is the politics of & #39;identifying things& #39;
