If you want to create art, don’t accept government “artist” grants.

You’re either creating something so mundane that it’s non-threatening to the state, or you’re creating something in service of the state.

I’m Canadian so this is basically our entire music, art, and film scene.

I have friends in these industries and they would probably take offence to this statement.

But they aren’t on Nostr so I don’t have to get in retarded arguments today, thankfully.
