Well, I’m a dumb-as-dirt southern gal – I truly can’t figure out what the heck that statement is supposed to mean. Where in the world do people learn to talk like that, and do they realize just how idiotic they sound?

As usual for a feminist, she’s blaming men for her problems and taking a shot at the traditional heterosexual family structure to boot.

All she needed to do is throw in the word Zionist and she would have hit the Moonbat Trifecta.

Aliza Schvarts next art project involves Draino enemas and electro-shock therapy.

Too bad it’s not Russian Roulette.

No, can’t do that. Guns are bad, you know.

Besides, she’s a lib: she would miss.

For those of you who might want to experience the whole, rambling, incoherent speech that is no longer available, an anonymous user at moonbattery.com has kindly transcribed it for us:

ENT, I’m not going to copy the whole rant that you posted, but thanks for posting it. That is the most ridiculous bunch of tripe I’ve ever heard in my life. It says nothing. It means nothing. It is incredibly empty – like this chick’s head, I guess. She basically seems to be going on and on about her “freedom” to “express” her art any way she sees fit – what she’s never learned is to apply good judgment, and consider standards of good taste and decency, before “expressing” herself.

It’s these patriarchal, heteronormative trappings of a voice, of a right to speak, but really I think we should think more about it,”

“You’re too stupid to pay for it on your own. But you must. For the sake of Culture.”

LOL, Tennyson, that’s the perfect capper!

Some consider this thing of beauty to be an eyesore. “How pedestrian!” Obviously, those “un -evolved” critics are pedestrians.

Her work is art like having a Cross in a jar with human waste is art, which was disgusting and appalling. These “works” are not art, they are the product of someone without talent who is not told they lack talent. Needless to say, neither of the two works are art in my eyes nor in the eyes of many people on the street.

It is wrong that the 9-11 fund gave her funding for her “artwork”.

She wasted twelve years in her boarding school and four years in college. Her parents must be bubbling with excitement over her “accomplishments”.

What a moron. She has not a shred of substance. She is the quintessential “Feminist-Pop-Tart.” Her persona has been shaped by others, her opinion is nothing more than lyrics she has memorized, and she has a mental disorder. Totally.

If creative content can’t sell in the free market, why subsidize it?

Oh please. I’m an Artist, so let me explain it to you.

Art is the spokesmodel of Culture, which is something the Elite use to lord over the peasants like you. You may think you have a culture but it’s just too distasteful and un-influenced by the Ivy League for the Quality People to regard with anything other than disdain.

Culture – Elite Culture, that is – can’t possibly survive in the toxic environment you morons provide, so the State must step in and subsidize it.

Left to their own devices ordinary Americans might think that Art should be be a vehicle for the conveyance of Beauty. Eeeeuw. How pedestrian! How un-evolved!

Current Art exists to advance the Leftist agenda. Bitter clinging smalltown godguns hicks occasionally dare to question it so that means your tax dollars must be forcibly taken from you to fund it.

You’re too stupid to pay for it on your own. But you must. For the sake of Culture.

“So empowerment is important, and this man has a point. We have an institution that infringes upon the rights of the individual; that’s really what’s at issue here. We’re talking about privacy of your own personhood. Privacy of your own selfhood versus the hegemony of power that surrounds us. Speech is a tool against that power, and it’s really one that’s kind of dwindling fast. This is kind of an aside, but I just kind of wanted to say something about it. It’s really funny to me and I think it’s like a good metaphor about how, you can give people these boxes, and you can give them the right to speak, but you can’t make them make themselves heard. You know when people get up and just talk really quietly? None of us care. None of us hear them. Right? And that’s a problem. It’s a problem of sort of institutionalization. We’re used to things being marketed toward us. You’re used to someone getting up here, making grand gestures and getting your attention. And, you know, we’re conditioned that way. And why are we conditioned that way? And, you know. I think it’s already been touched upon, but I’ll just reiterate: Because we have this huge [expletive removed] institution telling us that’s what power looks like. That’s what empowerment looks like. It’s these patriarchal, you know, heteronormative trappings of a voice; of a right to speak. But really, I think we should think more about it. And I kind of got up here before, and talked about feminism, and sort of thinking about these larger issues, and what I’m really talking about –and what we’re both talking about—is sort of the right of your own personal self-expression. The right of your own selfhood, you know. And you…you got up here and talked about that too, you know? We’re all people. We all have interior spaces in our mind. And the only way we can ever express that is by externalizing it in speech. And you know, there are powers that want to stop us. There’s an institution around us, and we’ve all become used to sort of using those trappings of the institution to express ourselves. Using their language to put our thoughts in; which is wrong. This is where creativity comes in. This is where art comes in. This is where politics comes in. Strangely: The creative art. I think we need to sort of think about how we should really use new tools, innovate, express ourselves, because we’re all individual, unique people. Strangely, even though we all kind of look the same, and talk the same these days, and are told what to do by everybody and we follow like this man said: Like sheep. We need to stop being sheep. We need to figure out what it is we want to say and how we want to say it. Because that’s just as important. It’s not enough to have the right to say it if you don’t know what you’re going to say, and you don’t know how you’re going to make yourselves heard. This is a problem with feminism. This is a problem with queer rights. This is a problem with racism. This is a problem with every “ism.” You don’t have a language. They’ve taken language away from you. They’ve made it their own. You only have the institution. You have to work actively, creatively, innovatively to dismantle it. Complacency is over. Think. We need to think more creatively about this. I think this is the realm of art. I think people have to be like…stop being so dismissive about what art is; it has to stop hanging on the wall. It has to be something lived, breathed, every day.”

Seriously, though, I’m not outraged at this; it’s just sad. The “Soapbox Project” itself doesn’t sound that objectionable, except for its gimmicky “performance art” character: people stacking up soapboxes and ranting for one minute each in Manhattan’s Federal Hall.

It’ll be interesting to see how many pro-Islamic ones there are. “Oh, no, it’s the terrorists who are giving Islam a bad name, not CAIR, we want sharia law here, but’s not as bad as you think, cause Allah wills it.”

Keep your eyes open for that. I know I will.
