I’m sure not boycotting the arts. I’ll probably see a hundred different artists perform this coming year. But I wouldn’t set foot in that place for love or money.

Posts contrast past revolutionary artists with contemporary mainstream risk-aversion, praising artists “standing strong” and resisting “authoritarians.” Common phrases: “Artists and musicians... used to be revolutionaries,” “risk averse, sheepish,” “Corporations can’t grow a pair.” One post quotes Nina Simone: “An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times.” A separate post asserts “Modern Art was CIA PsyOp.”

MAGA from Texas and Tenn and other such locales don’t realize this opportunity to experience culture like F47 likes. Whoda thunk liberal scum are keeping fine arts alive in this nation?

I scanned archives and couldn’t many reports of German artists cancelling shows (there were a few that were arrested and thrown into Dachau). This mass protest may be the difference between rolling over and bending the knee

I feel worse for the staff and crew that run the center, if no shows mean no pay.

These artists have shown more spine than any 100 Republicans in Congress.

Who would have known that MAGA/GQP members could not support the arts in any significant way. They just seemed so cultured, open to new ideas and eager to try new things. Wow.

Right on!!! I feel bad for the Artists, but I am also very proud they are standing up against Authoritarians. Historically, it is the Artists that Resist first, and it is up to the rest of us to follow suit. Now.
"Artists and musicians (even major, mainstream ones) used to be revolutionaries. Not afraid to take risks, take a stand. Now they’re all risk averse, sheepish. What happened? For instance, Nina Simone was a rockstar and revolutionary. She once said “An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times.” She did that, paid the price often, but kept at it. "

In Trumpistan, artists have less rights than circus ponies. They are required to play for the fascist fuhrer- free will and a conscience are not allowed.
