This is a lesson in what not to do and how to recover. This madness will only end well if wealthy individuals who support free expression begin to produce records, publish novels, and steadfastly back their creators. We need to recognize that we are being governed by cynical philistines who will exploit every hateful avenue for financial gain and have no interest in a bountiful and challenging culture. The alternatives to the kind of heroic capitalism we need right now involves a total breakdown in civil society. And how close are we already? Bring back the fearless patron!

There is a way for those of us who love artists and culture to help artists. Take a look at Patreon. I, along with many others, support artists there.
