Right-wing media moan about how the Left has captured arts and culture.
The same media then refuse to give publicity to Right-wing artists.
This shows us that:
They don’t care about culture.
They’d rather complain and concede.
They are setting up their own grift.

I’ve been a reader since the 1990s.
I started with thrillers.
Even today, the genre is a bastion for conservatives and right-wingers of all kinds.
You have to work to find a self-declared leftist / liberal / progressive in this genre.

How many right-wing thriller writers can these media outlets name that weren’t also journalists?
Those who can’t show they don’t care about culture.
Those who don’t care about culture except as a springboard to attack the Left and grow their audience should be ignored. /3

Art is hard.
That’s why it’s called ‘work of art’.
Why techniques are called ‘craft’.
It’s easier to make money in other fields.
The pragmatism of the right naturally draws right-wingers towards other careers.
But they’ll still enjoy art if it’s offered to them. /4

It’s easy to complain that there isn’t right-wing entertainment.
Easy to get attention and make money from complaining.
But doing the work of art?
It’s hard. /5

Hard enough for a leftist who lives in a sympathetic culture.
For a rightist who faces mobs, the media, backstabbing agents and publishers, cancel culture?
The difficulty is 100X’d, without going into the little details like how to feed your family and support the business. /6

How does a businessman make money?
Define a problem.
Draw attention to the problem.
Offer the solution to the problem.
Now apply this to art.

Problem: there is no right-wing entertainment.
Offer: I have right-wing entertainment for you!
Audience: right-wingers who want entertainment aligned with their values.
Put the 3 together and the result is:
Profit!

It’s the inverse of the same grift the Left has run for decades.
There is no female/LGBTQ/minority representation in X, so here is MOAR REPRESENTATION!
Now replace ‘minority’ with ‘right-wing’. /9

To pull this off, the grifters must ignore everyone and everything whose existence threatens the ‘problem’ they’ve created.
Or cancel them.
You can’t count on grifters to help you if you threaten their narrative. /10

Pointing out the things and people that counter their narrative isn’t going to change their minds.
Their livelihoods depend on the narrative.
They don’t have any incentive to reflect reality. /11

Create a network and promote each other
Grow your own audience
Develop marketing and networking skills.

Don’t count on grifters to help you.
Don’t rely on unsympathetic media to lift you up.
If you’re not part of the old boys’ network, don’t count on them for help.
Build your own grassroots network and grow the audience you want.
