I can sympathize with an accelerationist take on Trump's presidency, but good lord, this is why you better couch that sentence in a paragraph of "people are suffering" and "Trump can lick my rear end".

Nah, I read the quote in context when it was published and immediately felt that I understood its point, and that its point was going to be misunderstood. His language sounds like praise to anyone who wants to hear it that way, and that's on him:quote:He is undecided about Donald Trump. “He could go down as one of the greatest presidents in history because he has disrupted the thing so much. No one is able to counter this guy in an intelligent way.” While Trump may not be doing a good job himself, Lynch thinks, he is opening up a space where other outsiders might. “Our so-called leaders can’t take the country forward, can’t get anything done. Like children, they are. Trump has shown all this.”

It's absolutely on him. If he was out-of-touch enough to not realize how those words would be used, it's on him. If he wasn't aware of what it means to offer a quote that even sounds like praise for Trump at this current political moment, that's on him. If he wants to say how Trump might go down as a great president without acknowledging the pain and damage he is currently causing, that's gonna come across a certain way, and that's on him.

Lemme give you some media training 101: If you're volunteering to do an interview that you know will be published, you should be careful with what you say, because you're going to be held responsible for it. And you sure as poo poo better speak carefully when you're talking about a topic that is literally life or death for some people. His quote comes off as glib, as if politics is an abstraction to him, and not the bone-crushing reality it is for others, and it is easily interpreted as praise for Trump. That's no one's fault but Lynch's.

Jesus dude, you need a drat fine cup of decaf. I read his quote and immediately knew it was not a complement. You read it a different way. If we asked him for clarification I'm guessing he would say "what did it mean to you?" Of course Trump didn't understand it though. That's the whole loving point... That this guy can't be reasoned with using intellect and holy poo poo what year is it?!

Lynch liked Reagan, Obama, and Sanders, though he at least seems aware Trump sucks it makes sense that he'd have a (dumb) take about him at least disrupting things, he's kinda politically clueless/inchoate and just likes outsiders.

[quote="“Rageaholic Monkey”" post="“485445714”"] Yeah, uhh, about that: https://twitter.com/consequence/status/1011300546731499520 I’m not okay with this even though he’s calling Trump stupid and a child. That does not make him great or right. Lynch is contradicting himself here. I thought Lynch was against terrible people, but maybe he just doesn’t follow things closely enough. It’s not a good look for him. [/quote] Good God you are as dense as they come.

RM, I feel like maybe you need to hear this at the minute: not all artists you like are going to share your political views, or care about politics to the extent you do. This is okay.

Like okay, I can understand if he's not as far left as I am, but I'd rather him not speak out publicly about these things if he's gonna use language that could be misconstrued and gets loving Trump to thank him and poo poo.

I read an interview with Mark Frost recently where he was talking about the progressive social themes of Twin Peaks, and when asked if Lynch shared his views said something to the effect of "he operates in his own reality" e: "he has his own consciousness" WrathOfBlade fucked around with this message at 13:41 on Jun 26, 2018 |

Maybe this is why he prefers making movies to explaining his ideas in words I'm reminded of something that happened after 9/11. German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen called the attacks "the greatest work of art in history", people were shocked and performances of his work were cancelled. One writer commented on it that artists' thoughts, by definition of what they do, move along different tracks than those of the general population and if you didn't want them to voice surprising, shocking or radical opinions, you shouldn't ask them, but also that as an artist confronted with interview questions you should check whether you're not better off letting your art do the talking.

As an rear end in a top hat with an art history education, I have to say separating the art from the artist and from the context of the art is hard as gently caress. You can pick your perspective, but the cognitive dissonance is hard to deal with sometimes. It's harder the closer you are to the art emotionally.
