It sparked from me wondering who’s this “they” OP was referencing to. Pretty much impossible to pinpoint.
And then, I associated that with “us vs them” rhetoric lines. I didn’t even accuse OP of anything.
I just wrote what that shower though made me think about. Maybe it was just another shower thought.
Unfortunately, “society” doesn’t control most of the value of anything. The monopolists do.
So the only really valuable kind of art is the art that can be used for speculation and money laundering.
