Eh. I don't really see it like this. Art has actual value versus (((NFT)))

http://stonetoss.com/comic/hot-air/ Eh. I don't really see it like this. Art has actual value versus (((NFT))) [non fungible token IIRC] However yes Art is used to launder money by the same jews doing so with NFT so maybe ST is calling that out? Doesn't seem like it though. @xyzzy posted a context source for the joke [here](https://poal.co/s/PoliticalCartoons/428970/573ec125-90df-49d9-b689-7b8146249562#cmnts)

My guy has me in contact with Hunters lead art dealer for my region. His Intuitive and sure brushwork and expressive color combinations are reminiscent of the famous abstract expressionist Jackson Pollack. Can wait to fund his crack and whore habits.

Okay so there's a duality in the joke. Thanks for the source.

Yeah. NFTs are a joke, and they are dangerous for crypto because the crypto community needs to be focused around practicality and not dumb hype games. Crypto is very important in dissolving the power of the jewish printer, but normies are only going to adopt it if the people who were early adopters are reasonable people that they want to emulate. Getting normies to stop valuing jewish printer excrement is very very important.

What I'm seeing is ST calling out that no art has any actual value beyond that determined by those dealing in it. No intrinsic value, whether it's painted on a canvas, brick wall, bitmap, or vector line. Make fun of they guy buying the NFT, or make fun of the guy buying an original Hunter Biden, it's all the same.

Though I'll admit there are far more people who would value tangible art more than NFT, simply because it's tangible. I don't disagree, I think NFTs are a scam. But, so is the art world. Is the Mona Lisa really such an amazing painting? I don't think so, but the painter sure was interesting, and historically significant, and that's what gives it extrinsic value.

It has some semi-intrinsic value for laundering money, but that's still very much dependent on laws. With no need to launder the value plummets.

Excellent points.

I just want to say I don't think the Mona Lisa is a good painting, but I think due to its reputation it probably was one. Maybe one day someone will scrape off the foot of varnish on it that is clouding it and making it dark and yellow but until then we will never know.

"art has actual value" ...this is correct. Unfortunately, the value isn't what people understand it as. The value for all art is how society can use and enjoy it.

Once there's a monetary value assigned to it, it ceases to be art and becomes nothing but another item.

Does anyone know if the "Neoliberal elites are good" painting from the comic is referencing a specific Banksy painting?

The thing about Banksy is that he (or crew of artists) created their art as a tongue in cheek response to the absurdity of the art world and its inflated prices.

The thing about Banksy is it became what it ridiculed.

Banksy is severely overrated, like most of the modern art and music supplied to the public conscious.

We are being selectively fed degenerate and corrupted imitations that are lacking any creative or skillful merit. There are plenty of theories why that is, but it doesn't really matter. A Banksy has as much merit as a rap album, that is to say none, other than fulfilling Warhol's 15 minutes prophecy.

If you bypass the mainstream channels and dig beneath the surface of what the popular media is feeding us, you will find modern art and music of breathtaking beauty and imagination being created right now.

In my opinion and contrary to the popular view; we are entering a golden age of art and music, because it is thriving away from the scornful gaze of the (((critics))), it's being enabled by cheap technology, lots of free time, and the internet has democratized and archived it. It might not be 'popular' now, but like cream it will rise to the top eventually.
