WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW BANKSY'S IDENTITY

STOP INVESTIGATING BANKSY FFS

INVESTIGATE LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE

@evan because apparently graffiti is a higher level crime than pedophelia, money laundering, or espionage
@kwayk42 so many to choose from!
@evan @kwayk42 Why not all of those high crimes and more in one asshole?
@kwayk42 @evan @SBvD Alt text: Graffiti reading "IF GRAFFITI CHANGED ANYTHING IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL"
@evan he's a dick head
@jackie @evan Have old school grafitti friends who wholeheartedly agree with this statement...
@evan
Start with the abundant leads related to Epstein, for example
@screwturn and see where that takes you!
@evan
That sounds exactly like something Banksy might say… 🤔

@evan we already know Banksy's identity

they are Banksy

have been for years

Attached: 1 image Now it's all starting to make sense.

Mastodon 🐘

@evan Seconded! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Banksy's identity is Not The Point!

We're gawping at the spirit of his art. Not a name.

@evan it could only be disappointing to find out.

@evan

Looking for a Mastodon instance which has a policy of No Banksy Reveals.

Meanwhile ejecting from view any account transgressing.

@evan The Epstein Files.
@fraggle I like to pretend that guy is Lieutenant Scott from Stargate Universe.
@fraggle @evan @aud We need a collective “No you didn’t” memory sinkhole moment just like that one time Dril got doxxed.
@evan YEAH WE DONT WANT TO FIND OUT ITS A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO SELL CONTEMPORARY ART THROUGH SOTHEBYS AND SHATTER OUR ILLUSIONS ABOUT IT BEING A SINGLE COOL PERSON WHO OPERATES IN THE SHADOWS AND DOES SUBVERSIVE ART PLACES WITHOUT PERMISSION!

They seek him here
They seek him there
Those journos seek him everywhere

@evan

@paelse @evan
This isn't Banksy.
This is a photo of young David Bowie.

@evan I'm Brian and so's my wife

edit: huh. that might actually be closer to the truth than i thought. his work is mostly stencils. he's probably multiple people by now.

@evan a lot of people have known about R for years.
@evan @ben Strongly agreed.

@evan

If they’re asking, I’m Banksy, you’re Banksy, my neighbor is Banksy, the stray cat in my garden is also Banksy.

I mean, I’m definitely not, but you might well be!

Who knows these things.

Edit: I just want a little mystery left in my life. Some whimsy. So I chose to believe that it can be anybody. Darn the spoilsports.

@astroPug @evan Banksy is like that Vendetta guy. There are so many of him. Wanna be him? Just spray something deep anonymously in public places. People will eventually assume it was Banksy... and the original one won't even bother for clarification.
@evan we should publish the names of the journalists who chase Bansky. Their work doesn't deserve our attention any longer. Let's boycott, what they publish. We'll block it out.
@evan I am Spartacus

@fee_fi_fo_fum @evan

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.

@evan

I have no idea who Robin Gunningham is.
I don't care.

But I know who Banksy is.

@evan Maybe they have a big team working on Epstein or Netanyahu or something, with big secrets...

Though, likely not.

@evan Especially ALL from the epstein files!!! ☝️

@cyb3rrunn3r @evan

Banksy is not in the Epstein files.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_named_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."

List of people named in the Epstein files - Wikipedia

@JeffGrigg @evan i wrote that because of THIS: "INVESTIGATE LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE"

@evan Yeah what a great idea, lets investigate the artist that has been using their art to deliver some of the most relevant and incisive social critique of today, instead of investigating the social elements of that critique.
@bit @evan Shoot the messenger, the oldest of the human traditions

@evan this is a real flex.. but people in the arts community know who he is. If you don't know, you're not in the right circles.    

(and yes, revealing it is stupid)

@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?
@evan Banksy is who I am. Banksy is everyone. We are all Banksy. We are not Epsteins.
@evan we should investigate why systems always investigate the ones no one want to investigate
@evan its me im banky
@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!

@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.

@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.

@evan

I haven't read a single article, I've just seen headlines.

I'm going to live in willful ignorance on this as long as I can.

@evan

Din't they have MORE paedophiles to unmask?

Aaaaaah I see Banksie is the distraction....
