I think a willingness to participate in the system for one’s own benefit re: glad handing awards voters in pursuit of that capitalist system’s top tier mechanism for validating art suggests participating in capitalism to make it benefit you isn’t an option off the table for him

To me a visceral, non-negotiable opposition to interacting with dehumanizing capitalist tools means you might also be opposed to courting the recognition of an awards body that’s known to honor rapists and misogynists and racists etc.

I'd argue that the capital T Truth of the matter (more leftist media bringing in more eyes to the concept) is more important than the lowercase t truth that participating in capaitalism is emaciating.

Buuuuut I also don't think Boots could make a Disney made film actually anti-capitalist, so I don't think its a good idea.
