Living in the world as it is now is so demoralizing it hurts, but if creative people give up then what does this society even have left to offer? Optimized soulless hell on earth? Creativity is at the core of humanity and i am never giving it up no matter what direction society goes in. Stay strong.

I was talking w/ a friend and saying this, but I tired and said it like: "being an artist shouldn't be a job" (because it takes the passion out of the art, so artists should be unconditionally paid to make art at their own leisure) After their judging silence I clarified that I was pro-artist

im tired of the capitalist pigs destroying our lives for a crumb of power and the cancerous pursuit of infinite growth

they have all the money in the world but is not enough, because the problem is not their fear of poverty, but a power play with peoples lives, it's a sadistic game for them and we are their little pieces

This is what patrons of the arts are for. “Yes wealthy statesman, adopt me into your home and pay for my every want and need, and in return I will make art and occasionally fulfill your commissions.”
