I’ve come to the conclusion that we’ll never fully understand the artist’s true political and moral feelings, as I do believe there’s a high level of absurdism present in their art.
Absurdists typically involve irony in their observations about the world. Telling them to pick a lane isn’t constructive, because all lanes are absurd.
I personally enjoy these. Not because I necessarily agree with the reactionary surface of the message, but because I agree that it’s all so tiresome.
If Monty Python was airing propaganda against Margaret Thatcher’s opponents I would have said the same about them.
There is absurdism, and there is real dishonest politics with real impact. You can’t do the second and then act like it doesn’t count because X Y Z… well I mean, you can, you can do whatever you want, but it stops being absurdism when you get explicitly real with it, regardless of how funny a hat you’re trying to wear along with it.

I mean… believe it just happened. So apparently you can?
