WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW BANKSY'S IDENTITY

[gentlemantech@cyberplace.social]

Back in the day before we had social media, my main interest was poking right wingers, fascists and conspiracy idiots on forums. It was then that I had a string of spartacus@ email accounts for fun. And having illuminatus@ was good fun too.

@GentlemanTech @evan

No I am

@evan yeah, like who cares what their secret identity is? It's like this person you never heard of is Banksy? So? Unless it's someone who is already famous for something else besides being Banksy why would that be interesting?

[canleaf@mastodon.social]

@evan Banksy is who I am. Banksy is everyone. We are all Banksy. We are not Epsteins.

[jnpn@mastodon.social]

@evan we should investigate why systems always investigate the ones no one want to investigate

@cyb3rrunn3r @evan

Banksy is not in the Epstein files.

…

But we know who is!

"The New York Times identified more than 5,300 files containing over 38,000 references to […] and related terms in the January 2026 release."

@JeffGrigg@mastodon.social @evan@cosocial.ca i wrote that because of THIS: "INVESTIGATE LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE"

@evan @SistaWendy finding out Banksy's secret identity is gonna be like finding out Fatboy Slim was not more interesting. (He's complex, but not earth shakingly so....)

@evan imagine micky mouse... but like doing something fucked up... makes u think

@evan I'm glad these valiant truth-seekers have gotten the guy who spray paints hopeful symbolism on walls sorted.

I assume they will now shift their keen investigative minds to reporting about Palantir's sales process. Or whatever. This is going to be great!

[atlovato@mastodon.social]

@evan - Absolutely.

@evan The president of the United States has been credibly accused of raping children. There are mountains of evidence to support these claims. But the press doesn't seem to have the time to really dig into it.

Identifying the subversive ... that they can work on for YEARS.

@fraggle I like to pretend that guy is Lieutenant Scott from Stargate Universe.

[edwiebe@mstdn.ca]

@evan I’m happy to have read the story. There are an enormous number of other artists who deserve our attention. Don’t venerate Banksy, or anyone else.
