Kenneth joins us in our furry freako catbird seats to discuss Luigi’s big media moment. Could this valedicktorian fag be a fall guy? Manifesto or just a statement? Ghost gun or real gun? Why McDonald’s? Why thank the feds? Feels like a big thermometer check, how razzed up can we get, how much speech can they can take away in the aftermath? And where’s the carousel killer when ya need her??

This week we’re joined by artist, writer, and joke band member Alex Bienstock (@personality_sculptor). He performs his meta-manifesto “We, the Post-Artists“ then we discuss violence, the internet, and society’s relationship to the concept of cringe. Upsetting both the normies and the hipsters is the goal, it’s beautiful.

We’ve decided to start reading art manifestos in full and providing light commentary. First up, of course, is 1938’s Towards a Free Revolutionary Art ghostwritten by Leon Trotsky, signed by Diego Rivera and André Breton. Trotsky was one of the leaders of the Russian revolution, he was famously forced to flee to Mexico. Thanks to funding from the American communist party, he was able to stay near Rivera and Frida Kahlo, but was eventually assassinated there. The manifesto denounces both fascism and Stalinism, and is a seminal text to the history of Muralism and Surrealism/Dada.
