There’s a certain type of RW guy who feels a powerful need to countersignal anything they deem excessively prole-coded. You can easily imagine a dumb hick appreciating this statue, so they have to distance themselves. Their only principle is contrarianism.
Weird phenomenon where most explicitly RW art is shit, so we end up with a form of DEI for “based” artists.
This is, objectively, not a very beautiful statue. Yet because it’s “cool” and “Promethean” and “right-wing,” we all have to clap like trained seals.
