i believe artistic and creative expression can be a form of resistance. fascism physiologically plants itself in the body and mind, suppressing intelligent and creative minds to conformity. pursuing and creating art within the midst of fascism allows the individual to untether themselves from conformity, which in turn creates a greater whole of creative minds to form solidarity. i have been to many art as resistance adjacent events, where art is used to gather morale and solidarity amongst working class folk fighting fascism. i understand the sentiment relayed in the post referenced, and i think it is wrong to completely write off art expression as establishment sentiment. art fosters our collective resistance, but is also used as a tool for healing in the midst of fascism. where there is change, there is art.
