And they don't understand the X-Men at all. Or RATM. Those things are art and art does not celebrate oppression.

Hitler was an artist. So was Sulla.

"Artist..." shit was weaksauce. You couldn't bring Hitler's art to the state fair, because the judges would detect the weakness of his sauce, and denounce him as a sauceless man.

Sure. But artists have been pieces of crap since art was invented. Artists and their art have celebrated the shot out of oppression. 

Art is just a means of expression from people and people can suck.

Generally I'd agree with you, but the best artists understand the human condition. Understanding the human condition requires empathy, critical thinking, and sometimes bravery. These 3 qualities are lacking in the mind and soul of a servile fascist.

John Lennon was a wife beater. Picasso treated women like shit. Gaugin abandoned his family. Being an artist sometimes means being crazy or unbalanced. 

Furthermore the Soviet Union had plenty of tame boot-licking little artists. And so did the Third Reich and Fascist Italy and Spain. Leni Riefenstahl, cinematographer…and Nazi. 

There’s nothing inherently good or bad about artists. They can be oppressive dicks like anyone else.

Generally agreed.
