Well, intellectual gentlemen, congratulations on yet another "masterpiece" from Banksy. In the very center of London, right under Churchill's nose, a monument to blind patriotism has sprung up. Or, as I see it, a monument to a collective leap into the abyss with our eyes closed. It's amazing how an "underground" artist so cleverly negotiates with the mayor's office for a faucet at five in the morning. A true rebel in public service! Apparently, when you're a far-left hype-monger, doors open naturally. In this video, I reflect on why Banksy, for me, ended as an artist and began as part of an elite establishment peddling pacifism on the bones of common sense. While Europe applauds plastic statues, 50% of British youth honestly admit: they have no intention of defending their country. Well, Banksy showed them the right path—straight into the arms of the "Russian world" and other "liberators." Enjoy watching, if, of course, your aesthetic sense hasn't completely atrophied yet. 00:00 — Banksy's new performance in central London: a man walking into the abyss 01:05 — On "underground" and London City Hall's strange love of unauthorized performances 02:00 — Banksy as part of the artistic establishment: informal artists with permission 02:48 — The fight against "blind patriotism" in Britain: youth survey results 03:30 — On Banksy's work in Kyiv and why my interest in him has faded 04:58 — A monument to degradation: the absence of concepts of good and evil in Western society 06:09 — Parallels with Ai Weiwei: leftist hype and pacifism in the context of Ukraine 07:24 — Why doesn't Banksy do anything about the real war and Putin's aggression? 09:25 — The Art of Fakery and the "Brave New World" of Tolerance for Murderers 10:45 — Banksy's Out of Print: Pop Music in the Service of Europe's Self-Destruction
