Why should I move? Can I state the fact that this is a tyranny? Must I love the tyranny? Can I say that government is far, far beyond whatever use it may have served? Can I say, that it is no longer the servant, but the master? It chooses my art!
- pavlov 3y agoI don’t know which country you live in. If it’s Russia or China for example, then yeah, I’m sorry, you don’t get a real say. But if it’s a democracy, then you can always go start a political party yourself if nobody else has taken up this cause. In most countries, voters don’t seem to love the idea of eliminating funding for arts and sciences. It’s a very small part of the total budget for any state, and it tends to have appeal that connects with the purpose of having a nation in the first place (“who’s going to make movies in our language if we don’t?”)
