Conservatives act like complete frat bros about it.
All the time.

Tough.
Wait was he actually banned from having a MasterCard for his beliefs?
The plural of anecdote is not data.
I don't care.
👌
I'm just telling the truth as I've seen it.
I won't always be able to prove it in court, but I won't lie.
so you concede that your point is purely anecdotal.
... Sure?
the right doesn't hate art, rich people love art /s
No.
Rich people buy modern art as a means to stow money.
It's a tax thing.
hence the /s
Any time you've seen art and wondered why it's worth so much, THAT'S WHY
Given the composition of some of the more expensive pieces, it'd be hard to see any other explanation
What I think is FAR more likely the case (and I accept that my point is speculation at best) is that people who work physical labor, people who are more likely to be conservatives, are also more likely to dislike people making as much or more than them for less strenuous work.
Not necessarily in a marxist way, but in a jealous way.
That's what I was saying in not so many words.
Complete frat bros about it
Alright. But to say that's a trait of conservatives is a misfire.
Taken as a whole, that's what you can expect.
artists usually don't make any money
Sure they do.
like high school athletes
Look, guys.
the idea of the starving artist came from somewhere
It just depends on the jobs they manage to land with it.
Earlier at least one of you was mocking me for being unemployed with my art.
I don't remember which of you it was.
But it was EXACTLY the same.
If you drive down the busiest street in your city, I guarantee you'll see things that a visual artist was paid quite well to make.
You resent me for even *trying*
even famous artists didn't make most of their money until after death
Hell, just look at people's shirts.
and for every one of those artists, there is hundreds who didn't make it
Absolutely.
