Ages old debate- separating the work frm the artist. Wagner’s music is accepted, despite his antisemitism. Art stands alone. OTOH Do you wish to help a person financially who speaks personally in a way which harms a certain grp of ppl? Wagner can no longer reap $ rewards while JK can & does....more

How far do you extend your refusals? B4 u attend a movie or at the end of a movie do you read ALL the names of the acting talent and film production crew to decide whether their assoc w/ that art is ethically acceptable to you? Hundreds of ppl would need vetting. As I said- an age old debate. Tx

You can't separate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive and being a piece of shit. Hope that helps.

It's a series of books aka literature which by definition is a form of art whether you choose to accept it or not. Facts might hurt, but denying them weakens any argument you put forth. Advice from an ally- If you desire to be taken seriously- use an intelligent argument.

Like have they realised no one on the left liked Kamala because she pandered too much to Israel and centrists and alienated core voters

No, because they don't trust polls and block people who disagree with them. They only trust the PACs and corporations who pay consultants 6 digit salaries to say "Yeah, Kamala was too lefty, move right".

My daughters 37 now and fucken hates it when you bring up the subject that when she was 16 she thought Bono was going to save the world and the Harry Potter books were up there with Homers Odyssey!

And Democrats are known to change positions when New & improved better options appear. Rightists claim that signifies division. 🙄

Fucking ash trays in restaurants were a part of my childhood too. Why the hell do people cling to the past so much?

Exactly that too. I grew up with the books and movies. Who didn't want to live in a magic world? Where a potion can make you someone else. But why keep holding on to the turd that is HP when Animorphs is right there?
