The fourth entry in this series will be an encylopedic list of places to go better than me to find things.
Think of the power of Art. Think of Jim Henson, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Jon Oliver, the Trump Floating Baby and Banksy.
What is Art? Art is, basically, whatever you make of it. Art is about the human experience, which is why bullshit LLMs built on stolen souls arent really art. Techbros can say it is, but they are barely human. My point is, if you tell yourself that you aren't an artist...I say, its not just writing, acting, dancing, drawing or sculpting. You know all that fancy new age shit that nazis like to make fun of well you can do that.
Just do it anonymously.
Writing
You dont have to be a great writer to inform people and there are a number of places to write on a subject. All you have to do to resist is report on the truth of something. Here is a list of places you can write to be heard and get the truth out: Daily Kos, Substack, (if you Qualify) the Conversation, Medium, and tons of other places. You can also try your hand at excellent entry level events like the 24 hour Play festival, 48 Film Project, or do something smilary to National Novel Writing Month but not actually with those freaks who like thieves.
Just do it consistently, and especially on a topic you know like your professional area of expertise, your local knowledge, or an area of journalism that others arent covering. You can also help by aggregating what others write and making yourself a place to be a source where others can find sources that no one else is listening to or talking about.
Examples: The Antifa Reading List, 1984, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Tom Sawyer, a Modest Proposal, The Handmaid's Tale, and More.
Drawing and Ink
Become a political cartoonist. Create Memes, Hell if Dinosaur Comics can do it, just use stock art or soul stealing LLMs and add word balloons. There are a lot of ways to do this, and on the right social media like Pixelfed, Mastodon, Substack, Bluesky and even Youtube or Tiktok.
Examples include: Maus, Peanuts, Banksy, the 10 greatest subversive female artists of all time, Pablo Picasso, and John Heartfield.
Music
Of all the categories here, this is the most powerful. Can you sing? Can you pick up a guitar? Music has more ability to sway emotion and thought than all other categories combined. And people will happily take free music. The entire protest movement of Vietnam helped convince a generation that dying pointlessly for American Imperialism was hateful and unneeded. People say that its very difficult to start a band, but the fact of the matter is, if you form a band with a mission to change the world, rather than sell albums, there is all the more reason you can get people to listen to you; and frankly, what harm does the added popularity do to you?
Examples inclue: Frank Zappa, Bob Dylan, Woody Guntrie, Bad Bunny, Katherine Hanna, Sinaid Oconner and the Dixie Chicks , The Drop Kick Murphys, the Tillies
Acting and Performance
"They Play's the thing!" said Hamlet. If live performance wasn't a powerful method of moving the masses and celebrity endorsements didnt help legitimize unions in the 1930's, the Broligarchs wouldnt have separated the working man from Hollywood culture with the likes of TMZ. Or did you think it was an accident that they ensured that the only acceptible celebrities in meth America were broligarchs and nazi performers? The glitterati are highly easily distracted and have been parasited by the likes of liberal broligarchs to scientology to the corrupted unions that made many working men hate unions. The fact of the matter is, liberalism separated from progressivism a long time ago, and that needs to come full circle and with many at the grass roots level it has. The unions are popular, even if the elite also cater to the sell out center left as well. Choose ye this day, do you serve Antifascism or Liberalism? Because Liberalism lost to Nazis, but despite the howls of liberals, the Far Left has never lost to Nazis except at the point of a gun (like the Spanish Civil War.
Examples Include: Angelina Jolie, Emma Watson, America Ferrera, Mark Ruffalo and Natlie Portman.
Dancing
Before I met my beloved, I wouldnt have taken this seriously, but many movies have been made about Christian Natoiinalist Nazis forbidding dance, and a ton of Islamic Nationalist Nazis forbid it in the real world. All Religious Nationalists Nazis hate women; it doesnt matter the religion, and the very act of dancing, especially close contact or sensual defies them utterly. It's also just damn fun. But you can dance as art just as much as any of these other categories. You can and should show your feelings in art just as any other method and if dancing is the way you do it, have at it.
Examples Include: Vladimir Shykarov, Isadora Duncan, Olga Smirnova, Misty Copeland, Lauren Anderson, Carlos Acosta, Alexei Ratmansky, Josephine Baker
Everything else.
We recently went to a fantastic exhibition of quilts at the high museum of art. Earlier this year, we went to an exhibit of fashion at the Metropolitan museum. The Center for Puppetry Arts shows the magic of Jim Henson and what puppetry can do. Flashmobs or weird little skits on youtube or tiktok. Shadowpuppets can be quite subversive. The people who like to hold up signs in highway overpasses. The Trump Baby balloon. Tattoo artists. The examples are endless and countless. If you have a talent or even a desire for a talent, you can harness your desires for leave, pece and understanding.Examples Include: Jim Henson
