    France really is just America in a different language and on a time delay.

    Nobody in America believes “art will change the world” shit anymore. For good reason.

      That’s…dumb. Humanity will save the world from the clutches of society’s ills. Humanism, which includes art, free expression, inclusivity, acceptance, radical thinking. The arts can help spread those ideals.

      Yeah, maybe it’d be better if some politicians were working on this instead.

        Culture really is the one bullet again far right imho. Politics always come with agendas, it’s hard to count on them in the long run.

      The fight for hegemony is always a cultural one. Cultural workers positioning themselves in political conflicts, IS struggle for ethical-moral leadership. Here society fights out what interpretation of the social world is leading, and thus on the long run, which political alliance will be able to lead society.

    Man… The current regime wants to just keep fucking you as is. Not sure how artist work in France but in the US they are just regime whores.

    Who still “trusts” a celebrity?

    That’s the damn issue, peasants always need some daddy to lead them.

            Yes as part of being on an Obama death panel I run a FEMA camp where we exterminated boomers.

            I can’t say I hated the job but it was just a job. Pay was meh as always and I had to switch after 2 years of no raises.

                I am a peasant so I was never provided with institutional support to fuck other peasants.

                  You’d be surprised what you’re capable of if you find yourself on the other side of income inequality. Until you get there, you’ll never know.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Members of the Front Électronique (FE) have organised live debates on video streaming service Twitch and free concerts, and released a fund-raising album Siamo Tutti Antifascisti Vol.1 (We are all Anti-Fascists) featuring 38 artists.

    Speakers at the event included Brazilian former footballer Raí, who talked about his experience of living under a far-right government headed by Jair Bolsonaro in his homeland.

    Some of the most established figures from French electronic music privately expressed their opposition to the rise of Le Pen’s party but have not spoken out, a reticence that Voyou disagrees with.

    A “dangerous wave of racism and homophobia” is already being felt in the wake of the far-right’s rise in France, according to musicians Le Kaiju and Sujigashira of Grand Remplacement Records, a collective which supports artists from diasporas of the global south.

    Marion Maréchal, Le Pen’s niece, has spoken of her desire to halt the intermittent du spectacle: the scheme that ensures those working in the arts – from musicians and directors to sound engineers and stage managers – are paid a basic income.

    Polling last Sunday showed a preference among the 18-34 demographic for the leftwing coalition over the far right, but around a quarter opted for Le Pen and Jordan Bardella’s party, significantly more than for Macron’s centrist Ensemble pour la République.

    Let’s watch poor people fight each other for one last time before civilisation collapse, in the name of art because rich people can’t use religion and authority anymore to keep their positions. Is this the real life ?

      No matter who is pulling her strings, she’s a far right fuckwit. Fuck her, fuck her father, fuck everyone who aligns with them.
