We need a revolutionary, visionary, aspirational left that isn't a personality cult and is more interested with real problems than appearances and PR. We need faith that stepping up for unpopular causes (migration, trans rights, etc) can change public perceptions of them rather than be a liability.

We could undo this!

We know how, it's not complicated.

If you want more oil paintings, oil painters need to be subsidized.

Rinse and repeat for every medium.

You want art?
PAY ARTISTS TO MAKE IT THEN.

Why do some places still have their traditional artisans making their traditional arts and we don't?

Because those places bothered to make sure their traditional artists could MAKE ENOUGH TO EAT

AND WE DID NOT.

That's why.
