    Liberalism is accepting commission to portray a genocide survivor in an antiwar movie, then accepting another commission to celebrate a man immensely wealthy[1] from the slaughter of millions of chickens per annum.


    1. By wealthy I mean according to Wikipedia he is worth USD$22 billion as of 2026, making him the 46th wealthiest American, wtf. When chicken makes u an oligarch in Burgerland ↩︎

    This sucks ass, dude. Like, what are you even trying to convey? What am I supposed to be feeling when I look at this? It just looks like a teenager’s bedroom wall but if instead of band posters or magazine cutouts it was as if the kid’s only exposure to the outside world consisted of pictures of some restaurant’s ceo.

    Adrian Brody has had a net negative effect on every single thing he’s ever been involved in yet still maintained a career, it’s crazy. He was the Jared Leto of the 2000s.

    The only good thing about him is that after his father showed him Brodyquest, it’s been his ringtone since that point.

    This is fine but nobody would pay for or display this outside the home that made it if he was a nobody and that’s why i hate this

    like Adrien, you’re a good actor - stop taking up space and air in the visual art sector. I want to pretend and condescend that this attention could’ve gone to somebody who deserves it, but with artists that’s never true. Nobody who deserves it ever gets the spot

        So I know why you’re saying that. But the CIA was specifically interested in abstract expressionism. Because it represented counters to American social realist art (Ehich by its nature tended to be critical of the dominant culture and institutions), East Bloc Socialist Realism, and various other art movements of the time. The cia didn’t really care about cubism or bauhaus or non-abstract expressionism. What they wanted was to champion a very specifically American offshoot of the modernist movement.

        Also because you are quietly funding these artists and hisding up their prices, you make American art much more prominent by force of dollars while still looking “free”

    This mf has been a household name for twenty years. His net worth is “only” $10 million. This bullshit collage probably provided him a year’s worth of income
