    nobody on the left would ever say that someone who does one cool thing is automatically a good person. There’s been plenty of asshole artists and overall thing makers in history that have made amazing things

      The asshole artist. So common, a stereotype, but true. An artist must think independently. Cannot be concerned with agreeing with the consensus. Must be unafraid to speak her mind and risk the wrath of the tribe.

      It’s unavoidable that they will clash with the greater population.
