ALL Art Is Political When You Live In A Genocidal Dystopia (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2026-10-16) https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/all-art-is-political-when-you-live ——— >> … western artists who ignore the abuses of the western empire are taking a political position and sharing a political message. They might be singing about romance, or dancing, or the Sandman, but their actual message is, “Here are those circuses you ordered, you vapid NPCs, you mindless empire automatons, you shambling zombies consuming the flesh of the third world. Distract yourselves from the burning ecosystem, from the screams of #Gaza, from the suffering of the poor and the marginalized, from the AI-assisted surveillance system they are constructing all around you right this very moment. Pretend everything’s fine and capitalism is working out great for everyone...” #CaitlinJohnstone #palestine @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com
