  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.

    And let’s talk about health care. If he had access to affordable health care he would be able to buy the medicine he needs to feel better. As long as the government doesn’t regulate what they can do with their body.

    I can’t tell if you’re being ironic or not.

    The mushroom kingdom’s lack of affordable healthcare was the real villian all along!

  He looks to the left and has a green hat. How much more political do you want?

  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

    I think the issue with this interpretation is the word “inherently” in the original post. It implies there is some intrinsic value to the art that makes it political.

    While it’s true that all art can be interpreted politically, it’s no more or less true than “all food can be interpreted politically” or “all cats can be interpreted politically.” I can understand absolutely anything you want in a “political frame of reference.”

    When a definition is that broad, it becomes useless.

      It’s not useless.

      It’s specifically not useless because people forget this.

      Where there is disagreement, there is politics.

      Telling Mariah Carey to leave politics in her b-sides is, inherently, not possible.
