So, I can’t access the site, guessing it’s overloaded.

But a few things I’ve picked up from the discussions.

First off, a product that destroys itself immediately when purchased. I understand the art world now sees it as more valuable. Whatever. Idiots. But what if you bought a car and the moment you drove off the lot the wheels fell off? That’s some fraudulent ass shit right there. Now, don’t get me wrong. A mil+ for any type of “art” is a stupid in my eyes. But I’m also into collecting antique wood working tools. So, to each their own. But I understand the anger someone would feel for paying a lot for something that is trash. Plus as a seller. As Sotheby’s, I’d raise some unholy hell... unless I was in on it to.

The anti-capitalist committed the biggest sin in capitalism for his own greed. He profited from an exchange that inherently does not satisfy a customer’s need, even though advertised otherwise. And yes, I say greed. He, or they if it’s a group of artists, are part of it as a money making scam.

Famous anti-capitalists are not anti-capitalists. They’re always sellin’ somethin’. Maybe not today, but at some point, they cash in for their audience, eyeball investment.

Oh well, no one cares because it’s the art market. The most prolific way to launder and transfer dirty narco and terrorist money because, no one in the public cares. The old white people market as people like to whine about. That market needs to be regulated more hardcore than the stock market. Maybe that’s the point? Damn I hope so, then I’d give them more credit. But most folks ain’t that clever.
