super interesting analysis from a good lefty media analyst
"Alright men here's the order of deportations: First you'll be rounding up your tired, then your poor, then your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."
"Breathers. Got it."
Man old Simpsons didn't miss
"We know it's subversive when corps refuse to profit from it, let alone recuperate it".
Capital could profit from the burnt-out police station, because it fit into A: the marketable, confected category of Violent Anarchism, and B: destroying a state service, that while highly privatized, is still one of the few (nominal) public services run by the state.
Thinking of a candidate, there's a lot of "corps bad but - wouldn't ya know - there's no Simple Solution!" art. What jumps to mind is the shelf-removal of twin tower souvenirs following 9/11. Wasn't there an artist on here who painted investment bank infernos?
Scrap the prefigured blowing up of executive government/assassination of media barons. Just casually depict the capital-media class shoved into acid tanks, the flesh bubbling off their bones. To refer to, er, ocean acidification.
Someone plz buy the Simpsons, and then reboot it by showing the Simpsons escaping from their basement and murdering the fake Simpsons family that had been occupying the house for 25 years.
