Artists: Never let them tell you that what you do isn't important. We're so important that we're always one of the first things authoritarians go after. "Change the stories, you change the power structures."

If someone ever says that art isn't important, I say "only a corporate tool or a Puritan can say something so callous. And I have no respect for either of those."

We make people feel things from across great distances, and even across time. It's magic. It's a superpower. It's no wonder that the authoritarians are afraid of us.

Art inspires imagination, free thinking, possibilities where the current landscape isnt a fact; inspiration for change and a better future.

Right up there with "first thing we do is kill all the lawyers." Wannabe authoritarians have learned that truth is their most dangerous enemy which makes the truth tellers the ones who need to be silenced as soon as possible.
