When are you peasants going to learn that privilege is a necessity for genius? When are you peasants going to learn that simply acknowledging our social superiority does not discredit our arguments and experiences, which are generally much more learned than yours? When are you peasants going to learn that our emotions and lives are more artistically, intellectually, and politically valuable than yours?
IJ and upper middle class art is considered important because our perspective is more important than yours by almost every available social metric. We visit foreign countries, excel in academics, follow current events, maintain cultural literacy, and are generally smarter and better than you.
Who better to lead the arts than us? You are poor and resentful and ignorant. We are rich and proud and knowledgeable. The fact that IJ and This Is Water speaks to our experiences means you should listen up, because you might finally learn something.
