Anti-Capitalist artists are the worst of the worst hypocrites.

Out of one side of their mouths, they despise and decry "Capitalism", and simultaneously out of the other, are jealous guarders of their own money, and total understanders of their own economic needs and not being, "cheated" out of "their money".

This child like and mind-blind inability to reason outside the fragile shaking matchbox of their world view is deeply troubling. The expectation...naïve expectation...is that anyone who can create fine art must have a broad intelligence and not a narrowly focussed one, is very childish and stupid.

What is the explanation for the ignorant double standards of these people? Who can say.

Some would certainly say that the "creative side" of the brain, being over emphasized, blots out the rational side...but I don't buy this.

All I can say is that it is deeply dissapointing that people who can think (apparently) and who have powerful imaginations cannot extend their powers to reality, simple arithmetic and economics.

 Art is first and foremost an egotistical endeavor. Whoever says otherwise is trying to sell you a bridge in Manhattan. 

 This is not a smart “take”, I’m afraid. Unless you think eating is “egotistical”. But keep up with the Laser Eyes. It’s working. "We’ll” soon reach $100,000! 

 How is eating not egotistical? Get ahold of yourself... 

 Is English your mother tongue? 

 No. 

 OK, that explains everything. Thanks for the replies! 

 Or maybe you missed my point. Which was that every artist's first and foremost motivation is a selfish one, and they are by definition self-centered individuals. So it's not surprising to see that they have "unrealistic expectations" about life owing them something it definitely doesn't, and being quite good at rationalizing double-standards when it comes to "their" money vs. "our" money. 

 Beautyon making friends as usual, I see 😆 

 No drama. Just chatting. 

 I was confused by what he was saying, and so I had to ask, since it didn’t appear that I was” getting through”. Everyone from everywhere is on here and “The Other Place” and so I don’t assume that people come from my culture or speak my language. You’d be surprised how many times I’ve run into this problem. It’s stupid to assume everyone speaks good English just because they speak SOME English, and so it’s best to account for that. Why waste time arguing? It’s POINTLESS. 

 I see. He seemed to have a good enough understanding to me, but whatever. 

 And to make things even better, the “art” from Pollock was nothing more than c i a front for money laundering and a psyop to get the population to like art crap
