Well, here's exhibit A of the boomer mindset. I would agree that art can be panhandling up to the point you get paid enough to make it worth it. Then it's a widget just like anyone else builds.

The worth of good art is self-evident throughout history. The damage that malicious art can do is also thus.

Today art is typically left wing is because the modern pipeline and gatekeeping system trends left. When the system was traditional, you get Bach and Michelangelo. Why is the system left wing? Because of right wing decadence and laziness. The right wing took a libertarian "live and let live" position combined with an irreligious, shortsighted capitalist position and essentially abandoned the turrets of gatekeeping to goblins.
