    People need food, shelter, and healthcare to live. Many artists are denied these things because they choose to provide us with entertainment instead of feeding the capitalist machinery. That is in fact very serious.

      There was enough art to last anyone a thousand lifetimes before any of us were born, nobody is doing the world a favor by not getting a real job and sitting at home making art

        Getting a job doing what? We already have way more than enough people for just about everything. What I want to see more of is art.
