I'm guessing it's because the left was previously seen as the vituous underdog that tackled actual social justice and it's still percieved that way by many artists nowadays since previous artist were drawn to the left by what I said.
Now I'm talking out of my ass and specially this next part but I think the right may be a little more present in art in the following years. I just hate when artist who identify strongly as "left" or "right" get their politics in their art most of the time, not because of their beliefs or because art should not be political or any of that bs, but because most of the time both sides seem to lack subtlety and it becomes a contest of throwing shit at each other because "we're right and the other side is evil". So if either side is dominant, the execution will be more or less the same.

Those that work in creative industries are focused on new stories, new visions, and new music. If you want to find conservatives, look in vested interests like banking, investing, and religion. I just don't think conservatives tend to value the arts & fostering creativity.

Many artists start early in their fields often fostering these gifts and dreams in schools with good art and music programs. In conservative districts, the arts are usually the first to get hurt by budget cuts or shifts, often at the expense of sport programs, which play big in conservative states (think Texas). That said, no matter where you come from, if you are a relatively successful artist than you likely spend most of your life around like-minded people.

A lot of artists tend to have this melodramatic attitude all the time and want people to think they're this deep, tortured soul or whatever. Liberals are the same.

Another way to look at it is that, since artists are these melodramatic, deep, tortured souls, they need a political ideology to reflect how "deep" they are. This of course translates to a political ideology that emphasizes multiculturalism and diversity as a virtue, and eschews traditional values because tradition is gross and stuffy and not deep and special like my deep tortured soul.

Look at it this way. Even centrists or people who don't care about politics are now being labeled as right-wing conservatives. Failing to virtue-signal in life and in your work now makes you a conservative. That's an extremely narrow-minded thing to say considering the huge number of artists in history and today with traditional values.
And correlation =/= causation. You're basing this on school programs? You understand those states/districts will likely be further away from cities where people will naturally look for more practical work rather than getting into debt in the middle of nowhere with zero opportunities. Of course their art programs will be shitty, but it won't be because their political views are making them "uncreative".

I'm personally more centrist, but I disagree with the idea of globalism and multiculturalism. I like painting interesting things. I think it's just as creative to paint diversity without having to strongarm poc into a viking village or some other shit like that. It's everywhere now.
It's one thing to be all "oh hey lets have egalitarian multicultural ideas about the future", that makes sense and I can get behind it creatively, but why on earth all this brownwashing? How does it suddenly make you more creative and artistic to go full degenerate?

If anything, art is a conservative thing. It requires discipline and dedication. None of which you will see in an aggressive/extreme liberal - almost all of them are hanging out on tumblr and at best making things that can become cartoons. You think any one of them would be able to paint something like pic related? Not a chance.

There's a lot in your post to respond to, but I think my biggest issue with your train of thought here is that you generalize left-leaning people into a extreme-liberal stereotypical caricature - something that definitely exists for a reason, but I think is much less prevalent than you might think.

> Failing to virtue-signal in life and in your work now makes you a conservative.
No it doesn't.

>And correlation =/= causation. You're basing this on school programs?
I know it's just a correlation, but I think examining why budget cuts against the arts are more voted for by conservatives is totally fair. I don't think the physical distance from cities and more jobs is relevant at all. I think the important thing is simply that conservatives tend to cut art programs, and it's seemingly because they don't think they're valuable programs. Hence - conservatives don't tend to value the arts. >>3168840 is correct in pointing out your contradiction here.

> I think it's just as creative to paint diversity without having to strongarm poc into a viking village or some other shit like that. It's everywhere now.
That's fine - you shouldn't force anything into your work that you don't want. Sure - different types of media are trying to be more inclusive and representative of the population. Though no one is saying you have to as well. This is a non-issue.

> why on earth all this brownwashing? How does it suddenly make you more creative and artistic to go full degenerate?

>art is a conservative thing. It requires discipline and dedication. None of which you will see in an aggressive/extreme liberal
The arts in general take discipline and dedication, but to suggest that those things are exclusive to conservatives is just dumb.

All well and good, but how exactly are those in government at all a reflection on conservative artists? The way you worded it made it sound like having non-liberal ideas automatically makes a person value art less which isn't true.

>Can you reasonably explain why this is a bad thing?
I'm just really not into the whole idea of humanity-soup. It feels forced to me. If something is set in India, the people will be Indian. If it's set in Japan, they will be Japanese. So why put token ethnics groups outside of Europe into medieval Europe? So if there's this requirement to add as many mixed cultures into a Fantasy/Historical scene, what would make any of them unique? Or are only cultures outside of Europe allowed to be unique and homogeneous?

>to suggest that those things are exclusive to conservatives is just dumb

The actual reason is that most of western society believes that art is in some way supposed to represent some aspect of the human condition. This is why some of the most successful art from modern to contemporary pieces, are generally more valued for their conceptual aspects aside from formal qualities.

Now, building off of this; most of art influence is based in urban areas where people rely more on government programs and services in their every day lives.

Since art doesn't pay shit, and people who want to take a job in the art field have to move to more populated areas to find better customer bases... well, put two and two together.

That, and more outspoken folks in the art community and ones that are more vocal on social media will generally tend to be young liberals.

I guess it's because of a lack of restriction. You get more freedom to do weird new stuff if you're left-leaning. If you're right-leaning, then there are concepts that you're prohibited from doing because you're expected to hold a standard.

It's considered "degenerate" to do porn from the perspective of a right-leaning individual, but it's considered normal/liberating from the perspective of a left-leaning one. Granted, those left-leaning types do restrict stuff, but it's a restriction of old content like Nazism.

If you want a right-leaning or centrist clique, then you can probably check out those who are interested with firearms or religion. The former is a mix of blue collar and creative stuff, it's legos for adults.

The old masters weren't liberal. Conservative institutions like the church approved of them and frequently commissioned them. If you were talking about how they were puritan, no one was actually negative about nudity or sex in the past. They were just opposed to nudity being placed in a sexual context publicly because they thought that it should be placed in the bedroom. Don't be fooled, they were very sexually active. That's why they had a higher birthrate than we did.

They aren't?

Maybe you are confusing artist with artisan. Hell, maybe I am.

If you mean Artist to refer to someone who creates something, typically using traditional art mediums such as music or illustration, then its not because they are libtards that they do art.

Libtards are most commonly upper middle class privileged white people who wallow in their own pitifulness. Often white women too. Those are not the type of people to have an inclination to a less-sexy and rigorous degree such as STEM degrees, so they study the "liberal arts", which naturally often includes classical arts as well. Its also easier to make a more emotional connection with than engineering, which is a worker class male dominated area.

Being an actual ARTISAN , someone with expertise in his craft, has no bearing on one's social and political alignment. Its just someone who is well-taught in the arts of illustration/sculptoring/design/ whatever kind of artwork, and in fact many artisans appear all over rhe political spectrum.

>> No.3169122

>>3169112
This is actually a pretty great way of putting it. There are so many more artisans around as well aside from just concept artists or illustrators. You still get 3D artists, FX artists, riggers, etc. who have a certain amount of overlap with the principles of traditional art, even if they don't draw. Most of them are white men, and the majority probably share a lot of personality traits with STEM people. But they're still very much artists.

Trying to label old masters as "liberal" or "conservative" seems kind of ridiculous pre American revolution.
Those terms as we know them today didn't even exist. Just because many artists liked to be anti establishment does not mean they'd be going full antifa mode.
And it's not like being gay, womanizing, or general hedonism and debauchery something that is reserved only for liberals. Plenty of politically conservative people still do that. An old master known for liking his hookers and opium is hardly a case study for the liberal agenda as we know it today.

Leonardo was suspected of being gay, despite inventing weapons he was massively against war, he liked wearing pink and would buy birds at markets just to set them free. Michelangelo there's no question he was gay, he pissed of the papacy when he painted the last judgement and everyone was nude including Christ, the pope hired another artist to cover the nudity. Caravaggio was simultaneously liked and hated by the church, he made paintings that resonated with laypeople but at the same time he painted saints and biblical figures as dirty and ugly commoners sometimes even hiring prostitutes to model for him. Many french artists during the 1800s lived the bohemian lifestyle, Van Gogh and Lautrec enjoyed hookers and absinthe. Ingres was a controversial artists by his peers because his art was not traditional enough. And so on and so on. Artists in general often lean to the liberal side of things, art itself attracts liberal minded people for their time.

I think older artists were idealistic, which makes them seem liberal by people today.
But modern artists are deconstructive and subversive. There's nothing that I consider "liberal" about promoting things that destroy civilization.

Anyways OP, the reason so many art circle are SJW is because they are all social climbers. They constantly evaluate one another to make sure people keep in line. Being a super SJW gets you a better status. These communities are self policing as any interaction with conservatives can get you a scarlet letter. Come out as a conservative yourself and you're blacklisted for life.
It is out of fear and social pressure that these situations happen. It's not just artist circles this happens to, it happens to any community that isn't explicitly right-wing.

But the entire world was made up of racial identitarians before the modern age. If society was just as "progressive" and "liberal" back then as it is now, why didn't those people import millions of brown people every year and give them handouts?
There was no illusion of equality between the races in those times. The thought of racial equality simply didn't exist. The Europeans of those days mostly though of blacks as more similar to beasts than men. The other races might has well been aliens. It was just accepted as common sense not to mix the races, just like it would be common sense not to invite wild animals into your home and treat them as civilized men.
Racial identitarianism never existed as a political force in Europe because it never had to. Because there was never a racial problem, since the races didn't mingle.
Racial identitarianism exists in multicultural zones. When America was being founded, the European founding stock was deeply aware of racial issues and formed laws that reflected this. Laws to separate the races.

People who say shit like this are intentionally missing the point. If today we had a cult of people in the millions that wanted to inject babies with AIDS then you'd see a counteractive political force of anti-baby-aids advocates. The baby aids people couldn't simply say "well 100 years ago there were no anti-baby aids politics, so obviously you're just a hater and don't have any historical foundation to your belief that we shouldn't inject babies with aids."

You're looking way to much to how the internet interprets politics and you're looking at it in a very black and white point of view.

Absence of those issues doesn't lead a society into accepting multiculturalism and xenophillia. Modern technology doesn't lead to the chain of logic where you give away your ancestral homelands to another racial group.
If what you are saying is true, than the most advanced and prosperous a society becomes, the more racially mixed it will become. Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, and economic hot-spots in coastal China are not at all racially mixed. They're not even partially racially mixed, most of these nations are a 90+% ethnic founding stock supermajority.

The reason people associate multiculturalism with progress in the west is because multiculturalism has followed progress wherever it is allowed. If your nation is resource rich and technologically advanced everyone in the world wants to be there and take those resources. It's only because the west has allowed this to happen that it happens.

Modern day liberalism is the act of pathologically seceding resources to outgroups due to a feeling of guilt and injustice.
Modern day liberalism is taking what the founding stock has and doling it to the historically undeserving. It is about destroying the cultural and monetary influence and hegemony of the nation. Social issues that liberals support (and SJWs are primarily concerned with social issues) are all things that are intended destroy the host group and benefit the out-group. What is normal is undeserving, what is abnormal is deserving.
Liberalism of the past doesn't really describe modern day progressive politics. I can't really think of another group in history that acts the way modern progressives do. It's the politics of group suicide, and it's only ever been seen in the modern world, and was born not even a century ago.

Because of our actions and our decisions made now. It is because of modern guilt politics that this situation has even happened in the first place. My concern is removing these policies and political agitators, not accepting death.
>you can be happy that you'll be dead.
No, and that is the difference between an idealist and a nihilist. I care about the world and its future after I am gone. I care about greatness over my own hedonism and temporary sources of pleasure. Happiness is a product of greatness, happiness is not a goal in and of itself.

I think apathetic, apolitical, hedonistic, and materialistic people don't really realize that there are people that exist that are not satisfied with accepting decline. There are people who find it more valuable to fight and die for a cause, a belief, and ideal and cannot simply be pacified with creature comforts.

Whites wouldn't have to have a turn if they were not suffering from guilt politics and pathological altruism. People who understand this and don't wish to see their group walk itself off a cliff are trying to recapture old ideals and old ways of thought.
The loss of power of the white race is completely and entirely self afflicted. When faced with this fact, either you become a traitor, a pacifist, or a rebel.

You don't know how society functions, do you?
The majority of human capitol is spent reinforcing the accepted moral standards. Societies are self-policing, naturally encouraging "pro-social" behavior. It's only a few inventive and influential people at the top that change the direction of society. Naturally, a human population governed by their own wouldn't promote its own destruction. This system of organization and reinforcement is actually extremely beneficial when a people accept a healthy narrative. It keeps a nation functioning on all levels, on a large scale. Today's pro-social and fashionable behavior is deconstructive and suicidal.
When people espouse decontrustive and suicidal narratives they are rewarded. If you follow popular culture you are guaranteed a comfortable living (if you aren't functionally retarded). Even if these narratives ultimately lead to a slow, inevitable decline. The price of not espousing the narrative in the short term is more harmful to the individual. If I say I want my nation to remain white, I am ostracized, out of a job, and out of friends. I am shunned from polite society. For an individual, promoting slow death of a nation is preferable to ruining your own life.

Institutions such as media, government, schooling, entertainment is all important to have if you want to be one of the 1% who actually wants to influence popular narrative from the top down. Of course, it has to be a slow process, taking at least 2-3 generations. Given the right social conditioning, a person can accept anything.

If you think that Asians are impervious to these techniques you are wrong. This is psychological warfare on a national level, done over generations. China and other east asian countries use this very same technique to wrangle their citizenry, the difference being that they aren't governed by their enemies and not reinforce the suicide narrative, they reinforce tradition.

No, I don't think that whites are sheeple, more that all humans are biological creatures evolved for social living. These inherit instincts to create a functioning self-governed society is a good thing, in fact, it's what made civilization so great in the first place. If every human alive was a 145IQ radical individual then society as we know it couldn't work. I do not want to get rid of this behavior, it's more like I want the reigns of power and influence to be taken away from traitors and malcontents.

It is not puppet-masterism or complete totalitarianism where all whites see that they are being controlled and must obey. It is whites following social norms and popular culture due to a biological drive to conform, since group conformity is something that increases the likelihood for their survival, not an insult to their intelligence. Conformity also gives them access to polite society and all the resources produced from it. Evolutionary speaking, the smartest people are those willing to conform.

You're making a reality of human evolution into some sort of cartoonish strawman. Humans are social creatures. We are biologically driven to seek attention and approval from others. We are not sheep, since outstanding individuals do exist. Either good or bad. Non-conformists also exist, and they can exist anywhere on the spectrum of behavior and belief.
If you think the world and society is the way it is because people all at once came to the realization that multicultrualism, subjectivism, and deconstruction is the way to success, you're wrong. Talk to most people who hold these beliefs, usually they do not have a deep understanding why. These adopted ideas can be either correct or incorrect, it doesn't matter. What matters is that most people believe it.

Believing in something popular gives you a greater evolutionary advantage of believing something unpopular. That popular belied can be true or false, it doesn't matter.

The same can be said for the people who changed society in the first place. It took them 2-3 generations to completely reverse the morals and popular opinions of millions of people. The issue isn't convincing "rationally minded" individuals to come to a different consensus. If you actually listened to what I've been saying instead of looking for ways to argue with me, you'd understand social change comes from influence, not good arguments.
To get people to believe what you want, you have to convince them that everyone else believes it. You have to manipulate their desire to conform to polite society. You do this by gaining influence on purveyors of society. Religious institutions, schools, media, entertainment. You use all of these tools to promote the "norm", and people will follow.

Yes white people are doing what they like, participating in polite society. White people however did not on their own come to the conclusion that it is within their best interest to go extinct. The benefits of entrance to polite society are weighed against the drawbacks of going extinct, and for the time being, those of us not faced with imminent death as a consequence to these standards are not forced to change Survival instincts take precedent over conformity as conformity is a means to an end.
As society becomes more harsh to live in, and as more white people are forced to "reap what they sow" there is a backlash when the cost of being a conformist outweighs the benefits.

The more diverse a society becomes and the more whites forced to confront the reality of their narrative, the more identity politics rise. White people are only going to become MORE racist as time goes on. If conformity is a biologically selected pressure due to group evolution, in a future where whites are pushed to extinction, the only whites who remain will be sexually selected to display ethnocentrism.
We've actually already seen this happen to a racial group in history. If you manage to survive extinction, as a people, you come out more tribal/ethnocentric than you were previously.

The future of the white race is going to be ultimately determined by the selective pressures of their environment. Whatever hardship that afflicts them will be eventually weeded out. Practically, it will diminish the size of the white race numerically, but the quality will be entirely different.

This is after 60 years living in a system in which claiming that will have you removed from polite society.

A good portion of whites do care, about half if we believe that every "agree" response was made by a white person. Under a system that doesn't promote the narrative of white guilt, that number would be a supermajority. In fact, it was the supermajority opinion for all of human history up until this point. America maintaining its white European heritage was socially accepted and codified in our laws since the begining of the nation, and only changed since 1965. Some people alive TODAY are produts of a segregated white ethnostate.
With the politics of racial mixing and multiculturalism, you're doing the biological equivalent of introducing a competing species into a single territory. Eventually over generations of selective pressure, the only whites who will remain will be ethnocentric. In 300 years, if trends continue, then the only whites who will remain will be tribal. This is further evidenced by the fact that the only whites who have a birth rate above replacement are conservative, and the more strongly conservative you are, the more children you have. The opposite is true for liberals. The more liberal you are, the less children you have.

The situation being forced on the west is basically an inadvertent eugenics program where only the most ethnocentric whites will be passing down their genes.

I think most artists are probably very apolitical and just go with the flow. The left is good at framing themselves as compassionate, and people of opposing views as mean spirited, so lazy non-thinking artists are maybe prone to falling into their dogma. Highly successful artist-entrepreneurs might lean more right, or at least more libertarian, and we are seeing more and more of this type of person representing the artists of our time. At the same time, the "right" seems to flirt more and more with libertarian ideals and less with the religious fundamentalism they were associated with so heavily previously, and which probably didn't mesh well with artists. But there has been a bit of a switch where it is now the left that feels more socially authoritarian, in addition to their usual economic and bureaucratic/regulatory authoritarianism. The loud and obnoxious figures of the left who dominate social media and call for government oversight and authority seem opposed to the free spirit of the artist, in my mind.

Because everyone has this idea that establishment is this bunch of sexist corporate capitalist pigs who roll in money and corruption, care nothing for the nature and oppress the working class.
It's so, so easy to criticize this idea of society - to make art about environmentalism, civil rights, racism and famine, the poverty of the 3rd world, sexuality... aka libtard topics.

Even though the society has since 60yrs ago made a 180 degree turn and nowadays being conservative is the real counterculture.

This. Art has always been a privatized, where either the church or some nobles would be commissioning the artist. The whole idea of government involvement in art programs sounds very much like propaganda to me.
An example would be communist Russia, where there was a boom in the arts for the purpose of creating idealized imagery of the glorious motherland. Artists under communism were guaranteed to be taken care of, as long as they drew/painted within the parameters of the political agenda. Many art schools in Russia are still following in the traditions with a strict focus on fundamentals as a result, which is actually kind of cool.
Not only that, but there was also a massive animation industry as well, most notably under Mosfilm, which was sort of like Disney for the region in that time. It's actually kind of underrated.
Lets not forget the architecture and sculpture, which would almost always be in the theme of military/worker, but executed extremely well.

I'm kind of getting off-course here, but my point is that yes, government funding can do a lot of good things for the arts, but then you have to be prepared to only be doing what is approved by the government.
Based on what people have been saying in this thread, this sort of system would be the antithesis to progressive/liberal artists who reject the status quo.
However, because the status-quo is currently extremely liberal (don't let the American presidency fool you, nearly every aspect of mass culture is liberally biased at the moment), it makes sense that the same liberal artists see absolutely nothing wrong with tailoring their art to this ideology, and would encourage government spending on the arts.

This. Government art programs are just crap, there is no actual room for freedom of expression. The way the government pays artists is through the university system (it also has its own "community" division as well). You get grants and cash by creating "themed" art. The theme is always promoting something progressive. Multiculturalism, woman's rights, civil rights, gay rights, immigrant rights, and so on and so on. They government doesn't give money to artists for images of beauty and quality. It gives artist money for slapping together "2deep4u" vagina paintings of women of color suffering.
back in 2010/11 my state college was giving away 10,000 to anyone who created artwork about "prominent women in history" and "the historical cause for feminism".

When the government gets its money involved in social issues, it's always with a progressive slant.

Graduated in 2012, I had a similar experience. The top student in our course was a gay dude constantly making "provocative" designy-illustration (like, I guess, print type stuff?).
He spent 1 year in the industry and went to teaching at our same course fulltime.
A good 60% of the class went generic corporate advertising, the rest dropped art altogether after trying to make it while working in print shops.
I'm literally the only one who made it into film/games, and I got told by lecturers multiple times I'm NGMI, and they attempted to fail me out of the course twice.

It has happened to me, and it has happened to acquaintances of mine. This kind of stuff happens quietly. Lots of gossip, never any outright letters of dismissal from your peers/employers. Like I said, it's just ignoring or avoidance. Your employer will most likely send you a soft-worded email about things "not working out", and so on.

But anyone without autism and 0 social awareness can deduct what the real situation is.

You really should be able to use reasoning to understand what's happening even on the public side of the art community. There are artists working in the industry that constantly talk about progressive politics, even aggressively. You won't find a single employed or seeking employment artist that posts anything remotely conservative. It's not just because "all artists r liberal :)", that's honestly a statistical impossibility. It's because the blacklist is real.
The fact that there are conservative artists in this thread proves that we exist, and are forced to hide our powerlevels because not doing so is career suicide, while doing the opposite is not only tolerated, but endorsed.

What liberals mean when they say conservatives don't support art is
>they aren't willing to give tax money to art programs where the government squanders cash on promoting social issues over beauty
>they aren't willing to support modern """art""" and have a distaste for it aesthetically
>they are suspicious of the financial racket around famous artists, curators, museums, auctions, and so on.

Then when a conservative says he appreciates classical art and other forms of beautiful (non post-modern) art

Almost anyone who isn't an artist thinks that the arts funding should be cut. And even then, a lot of artists want funding cut too.
The image of an artist is a snobbish political agitator, and their products are literally 2deep4u paint splatters and other dressed up trash with a a hackneyed profound meaning.
Not only are they usually trust-fund babies, but they don't even create anything of value to society anymore. Modern artists need to get all of their artificial government funding cut indefinitely.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

Slavery is seen as a mistake by pol because of all the black people it brought to America. I doubt they really care about the shittiness of slavery itself. They'll love to tell you that blacks themselves were/are slave holders to rationalize it. Now the funny thing is protesters in Charlottesville (good smart white nationalists) wanted to protect statues representing the movement in the united states which was for the continuation of slavery. And then they even waved confederate flags.

I can see reason in protecting culture, but you end up associating with idiots for the most part.
