    I did nothing of the sort. Not once did I equate “art” with “good”; that is a strawman argument you cooked up in your head. I am vehemently against such an interpretation. Bad art is still art, but that isn’t what this line is talking about - the line is specifically talking about PROPAGANDA.

    Propaganda is not good art. Propaganda is not bad art. Propaganda is not art at all; they are distinct concepts.

      You simply exchanged “bad” for “slop” and think you made a different point entirely. In your post there is no functional difference between the two since you have described it. You criticised marvel movies with the language that one would use when they call something bad.

      That’s why i said you are confusing the two. You now stating that is not what you meant doesn’t actually change the fact that you did say that bad art is not art.

      The line about propaganda is later in your comment. Besides, propaganda is still obviously art. It is an expression and aims to evoke a certain feeling and certain thoughts within you. There is, again, no functional difference.

      You are against artists and actively trying to harm them. If you were in charge of such decisions in a socialists society then that society would undoubtedly be worse

        Slop is bad, but it is not art. Art can be bad, but bad art isn’t slop.

        This isn’t hard.

        No, that isn’t what I said. That is what you read and is a mistake on your part.

        This is wrong. Propaganda isn’t inherently art. It can be art but it is not art by default. The purpose of art is self expression while the purpose of propaganda is influence perspectives.

        You are against artists and actively trying to harm them. If you were in charge of such decisions in a socialists society then that society would undoubtedly be worse

        Fuck off.
