I believe that the phrase “unscripting the political process” in the sense of common media reflects the ability of anyone to display their perception of current political issues. In class we watched the video of the Yes Men, who showed how absurd some of the high end political officials beliefs are globally. Like I mentioned in the previous blog, no longer can politicians throw anti activist under the rug because their means of producing their beliefs are far too numbered to nullify. If one website goes down, it’s extremely easy to make a new one instantly. With Google and YouTube, the same people who found the first one will find the new one, and therefore nothing actually happened to the activist attempting to reveal their truth about a debated topic.
In most instances, the people shedding light to the fallacies being committed by top politicians are extremely educated artist on the topic. Due to their knowledge of the topic and different lifestyle choice then politicians, these artist reach out to a community that would probably never learn about some of terrible actions/policies out there in the political arena. It’s great to know that a whole new section of society who feels unaffected by political agendas to realize everyone in any nation needs to be aware of current political issues. Politics have an effect on every step of every person within that nation, and people need to know this fact. I’m not saying all artist are oblivious to current political topics, but a few are, and these few, along with many others, learn about the weaknesses of politicians through a different medium with art.
