Banksy Is Back
A new Banksy painting went up on Valentine's Day and there is a kind-of mesmerizingly idiotic and crowded glee in the media (social and otherwise).
The very type of sheep-people that are mocked by Banksy, now mindlessly promote him. Have at it, sheeple. It is enjoyable to watch revolution become so trendy, just don’t rub the sharp edges off. And when you line up to buy paintings that will shred themselves, please close your mouth while you stand there aghast, proving Banksy’s point.
“I love the way capitalism finds a place — even for its enemies. It’s definitely boom time in the discontent industry.” ~ Banksy
“All graffiti is low-level dissent, but stencils have an extra history. They’ve been used to start revolutions and to stop wars.” ~ Banksy
