    A working class guy with hayfever.

    The oppression that cames with being a worker and humiliation expressed by an L on his forehead. Combine this with a suffering from a force of nature, no one is to blame for. But than again, why can’t he afford hayfever spray. A rich guy would get a cure, he has to endure it.

    And did you know that climate change worsens hayfever. We already established that hayfever is a sickness of the poor and therefore inherently political. The rich are to blame for climate change, still the poor have to endure it. Still he does everything but stop it but all he can do is greenwash his hat. If this doesn’t scream “proletarians of all nations, unite”, I don’t know what does.

    I think the better way to say it is that all art can be understood in a political frame of reference

    Using this as a rebuttal to the idea that art can always be understood in a political light for example, is a political statement, that statement being “stop bringing politics into my field of view!”

    The idea of apoliticalness is one that originates from, as a maddened wizard once drivelled, “devout followers of the status quo”, they see politics as a tool only for fixing things, and so the idea that everything is political is to them an extremely radical statement that should be regarded with suspicion, it’s almost an accusation in their eyes, and people go into fight or flight mode when feeling accused.

    This guy chose freeze and put up a distorted luigi model in an attempt to soil himself so that the bear would stop eating him
