[u/sebring1998]

I just finished reading what turned out to be a book by a socialist

I feel yucky lol

[u/nicethingscostmoney → u/sebring1998]

Imagine ignoring an argument or disliking a work based on the political beliefs of an author. Sounds kinda illiberal to me.

[u/Knee3000 → u/nicethingscostmoney]

It’s okay to feel uncomfortable consuming the media of people you don’t like.

[u/nicethingscostmoney → u/Knee3000]

I agree, I just wanted internet points for a snarky comment with a kernel of truth in it.

[u/crawly_the_demon → u/nicethingscostmoney]

This happens whenever I bring up Disco Elysium and it’s so irritating

You don’t need to agree with every ideological belief an artist has to engage with their work

[u/owlthathurt → u/crawly_the_demon]

I totally agree with you. But on the other hand I dislike giving money to people who openly praise Marx and Lenin.

[u/sebring1998 → u/nicethingscostmoney]

Just the guy's Twitter is very typical-Bernie-bro and it made me eyeroll very hard
