Writing in India’s The Wire newspaper, Roy said she found recent remarks from members of the Berlinale jury, including its chair, acclaimed director Wim Wenders, that “art should not be political” to be “jaw-dropping”.

Fuckin lmao. Does dude think Animal Farm is about talking animals?

Arundhati Roy is badass

Just going to leave these here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guernica_(Picasso)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_of_May_1808

I think the Berlinale jury needs to take a look at this list of films.

And when they’ve finished take a look at Picasso’s Guernica.

Germany has a massive ongoing problem of the use of ethnicity to classify people and the practice of ethnic-Descrimination being normalized in German society, especially Politics and the Press, all of which adds up to Extreme Racism (it’s the only country in Europe were a head of state has justified sending weapons and ammo to a Genocidal state whilst they were mass murdering children, with the need to support the dominant ethnicity of the aggressor state).

This shit is definitely not Humanist Values - were people’s treatment depends only on their actions and their need, not at all their ethnicity - but rather an older way of looking at other people and the World which, curiously, is very much the same as the NAZIs, though not quite yet taken to the same extreme in terms of action inside of Europe (though the same can’t be said for how extreme its practice has been Palestine).

The revelation of Modern Day Germany being so profoundly Racist that even Genocide committed along ethnic lines is something that the country will support as long as the ethnicity of the genociders is one deemed “good” (Jewish) and the victims one deemed “bad” or “lesser” (Muslims), should be scary for all of us Europeans as you never know when Germany will whilst walking such path come to the point of seeing other European ethnicities too as “lesser” one which can be eliminated to take their land just like Israel is doing to Palestinians.

“art should not be political”

I’m excited to hear an extraterrestrial alien has come to visit, because surely this is not a human being who has lived even one day of the human experience. Too bad the alien is cool with genocide.

Wim Wenders

God fucking damnit, why are they all such pieces of shit???

“Art should not be political”, he said, thereby politicizing art. Fucking imbecile, 90% of good art is political. Now go fuck yourself with a broom handle, du Produkt einer mit Kleingeld vergüteten Liebesbeziehung.

Art should not be political? That about the most cowardly thing any artist could say. Even if I don’t agree with the politics on display, I can still understand that they have the right to express their politics in art, although bad politics generally results in bad art. That’s half the fun.
