Lac des fées by Benoît Deniaud

I feel I should specify when I talk about the vast majority of Israelis supporting this genocide it's not to call for violence of them or even to demonise them. It's to call attention to Israel having a genocidal education system which dehumanises Palestinians from the moment Israelis start school. Ilan Pappé did a study in 1994 of the Israeli education system and raised the alarm that it would raise a generation who are even worse than those who first colonised Palestine in 1948. We're seeing the truth of that now.

I raise this point because we're seeing this attempt by politicians and the media to claim that it's just Netanyahu who is to blame for this genocide and not a systematic problem that requires boycotting, divestments and sanctions to push them to correct. This lie is being pushed because they do not want to change the status quo which allows for Israel to steal Palestinian land and homes and keep Palestinians under military occupation.

While I'm on the subject of me not understanding claims about the interplay between art and audience that other people seem to find self-evident: there are a lot of posts about metatextual storytelling on here that everyone seems to find extraordinarily profound and moving but that mean very little to me, and I can only conclude that other people are capable of collapsing the distinction between fiction and reality in a way that I simply cannot. I want to make a longer post about this later because it's something I've been thinking about a lot lately, but for now, here's a very straightforward example from an addition to a post about hypothetically breaking the fourth wall in the final scene of Hamlet:

I'm not criticizing or mocking this comment (far from it), I just can't wrap my head around it. Of course there's a difference between me and the Danish courtiers! They showed up to watch some actual people fight each other. I showed up to watch a scripted, rehearsed play. In the courtiers' reality, Hamlet is an actual guy who died. In my reality, "Hamlet" is an actor who in a minute is going to stand up to take a bow, then maybe receive some flowers if he has friends or family attending the show, then go home and rest up for tomorrow's performance. Obviously the author of that comment knows this, obviously the people reblogging the post know this, but they all seem to find something meaningful in the equivalence between the in-universe audience and the real-world audience nonetheless, and I'm trying so hard to understand what that is, but I literally can't. Can anyone explain it to me? Am I simply missing the part of my brain that's supposed to handle this stuff? It's fine if that's the case, I'm perfectly capable of appreciating art in my own way, I'd just like to know.

I promise I don't think that contemporary art represents the downfall of civilization or that it shouldn't exist or whatever, and I fully understand that just because I personally don't find a piece of art meaningful doesn't mean it isn't meaningful, but I'm going to speak my truth: the whole "art is supposed to make you FEEL things so if it makes you mad then that means it's succeeding! checkmate atheists!" thing has always struck me as really dumb and flimsy and frankly annoying. Which I guess means it's succeeding as a piece of art or whatever

It's so considerate of Taylor Swift to always write her songs about whatever fictional characters I'm obsessed with
