      What’s not then? Music? Something that communicates feelings and ideas is not related to how we organize power in our societies? Seems naive to me.

        Exactly, has nothing to do with liberalism. The soviet union under stalin literally felt threatened by a black square.

          The USSR was not particularly liberal, the people had very few rights. And tbf, that’s a pretty scary black square, and Stalin was afraid of a lot of things. So, I can see it.

            Creating a distraction is political and using a distraction is political.

            The distraction, itself, doesn’t have to be political.

            And culture war is not politics.
