Aw cheers for the mention, that makes me sound really cool!
Green Room is so bloody brutal. One of those films I think I could only watch once. (Similar vein to Eden Lake if you've seen that, just felt tooooo familiar)
It does seem to be a recurring theme that extremists on the right wing destroy, covet and feel entitled to things that don’t belong to them.
It’s almost like staying within one homogeneous exclusive tribe - and refusing to see other peoples perspectives - doesn’t enrich your life enough to help create art that isn’t bland.
There was a great piece I read not too long ago about how billionaires being taste-makers has destroyed good taste and I think that explains a lot of what’s going on here…
Yes! Also VERY interesting re billionaires being tastemakers, I think this will tie will into my thoughts on AI art (and slop) and how they've essentially used LLMs to mass-steal art and regurgitate it into something that can never be truly original. There is a sequel brewing already....
Thanks for mentioning my article. Doing my best to take my own advice this week 😅
Appreciate the shout out!

Art for right wing Facebook aunties and uncles is typing "Union Jack, Lion, London, Kids" into an AI image generator.
