SR,

I see how you are trying desperately to conflate your left whinge cancel culture that is based on ideology and racism that wants to de-platform people that are Jewish, Christian or simply don't follow your racist dogma with merit-based selection.

shadowminister,

I'm not the one attempting to see poor old Santiago Sierra off, you are.

You are offended by his art and have firmly stated it has no merit and have invited the organisers to can it. Sure Hasbeen was more direct "the whole filthy lot should be canceled" but at least he is being truthful while about his intentions. Pity you can be the same.

The Dark Mofo festival has a reputation for being
confronting and it has used blood in the past.
It will continue to be confronting - because that's
what the organisers want.

The only way to get the
message across is for sponsors to pull out - that
some things really are disgusting and desigrating
a country's flag is not appropriate. The message
could be delivered another way. This way is a
total turn-off and will arouse more antagonism
than anything else. It's not art - but it is
attracting publicity so I suppose the artist
will get what he's aiming for.

cont'd ...

One question.

Is it against the law to deface a flag?

BTW: the artist is well known for his provocative
"art" pieces including drug-addicted sex workers with
a line tattooed on their backs and casting sculptures from
human faeces.

SR,

Now I've got you. Thanks for admitting that you are a liar and that your statements are merely your deliberate misinterpretation of what I said.

I did claim that the art piece he was submitting had no artistic merit and the sole purpose was to shock. Nothing you have said contradicts that.

Your greatest lie is that I never called on the organisers to cancel anything.

Only the most shameless liar or moron would claim that "the organisers are entitled to omit anything without any artistic merit." is a call to cancel something that has already been rejected by the organisers.
