If hip hop is becoming right-wing (a natural outcome post-90s mainstream adoption into White culture - thanks Eminem, you tosser), what comes next? Does Country regain its Leftist footing? Soul and Folk? Do we get something new and terrifying like that thrashy stuff from Children of Men?

They think they are owed artistic recognition and proficiency based on the material conditions of their upbringing. Time to develop skills without the social or material need to actually excel in their craft. The middle class is fake, but the myth has a purpose.

Taylor Lorenz has always given me the ick. Her having a catastrophic dependency on Twitter and developing AI psychosis makes more sense than most of what's been going on lately.

Is this another version of burying your head in the sand? I hate all the Ukrainian bots who claim Russia is committing a genocide, but I dont block them or go out of my way to avoid their hysterics. If you want a padded room, I guess that's your right.

The amount of discourse around a stupid song and the lesbian bar mask mandate shit really shows (once again) how the most prolific blueskyers don't have real problems and have too much time to spend on inane bullshittery.

As people see more and more that folks like Abdul El Seyed and Zohran ingratiate themselves with Zionists, an objectively fascist ideology, I am reminded of this 1933 work by Earl Browder called "Social-Fascism". www.marxists.org/archive/brow...

You all might wanna look at compressed natural gas stores in this country right now. Not looking great, and some one million million cubic feet of CNG added to storage since February. www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/ng_s...

Yes, "anonymous" soldiers sent this to Bari Weiss' CBS. What you're seeing is propaganda to MINIMIZE the scale of damage actually done.

Ashley Kuckelman@ashleyvotesblue.bsky.social · 2w ago

American troops ANONYMOUSLY sent photographs to CBS News to show the damage Iranian missiles and drones have done to the bases they are living on. The Pentagon is LYING about the war per Hegseth’s orders. He and the rest of Trump’s incompetent administration need to be impeached immediately.

a reminder that more hillary clinton voters voted for john mccain than bernie voters voted for trump either time. just like how more democrats in florida in 2000 straight up voted for bush than voted for nader. the left are never the actual problem.

"why are liberals so on edge about voting abstention?" because bernie-or-bust was a real thing & it cost us 2016

Cancel culture is a real phenomena in the west, but rather than being directed toward loser right wingers trying to argue some race science bs, it is almost EXCLUSIVELY applied toward any solidarity with Palestinians.

Promoters have pulled Macklemore from Ed Sheeran’s tour after he called for a “Free Palestine” on stage: “We have been notified by venues on the upcoming U.S. tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the lineup” (www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...)

Yes, the hard-liners sabotaged the peace deal with all the weddings they bombed and entire towns they flattened in Lebanon. Maybe we should discuss US hard-liners/"war hawks" instead.

Crowds gathered in Dublin to protest Trump’s visit to Ireland, with demonstrators using imagery featuring Trump, Epstein and Netanyahu to voice their criticism.

Watching Britain grapple with the effects of the US Citizens United decision on their own shores is definitely something.

Look, if Trump can say he was pulled from wreckage on 9-11 without any sort of pushback, why would the CBS goblin care?

Kylie Eleison@gonebabygone.bsky.social · 2w ago

This is one of those things where it's hard to tell if she's just lying for an audience that doesn't know any of this or if she's just completely falsified a memory

What happened is successive administrations in the US decided they would pay Saudis to hire Columbian and Pakistani PMCs to back-up a pro-Israeli government responsible for years of famine and mass murder.

talarico saga tells me that the democrats are utterly helpless and beholden to the right-wing media circle. which tells me that any of their governance will inevitably 100% shift to the right under its pressure

Hillary Clinton: "I love Israel, and I hate Netanyahu's government and his policies. I love America, and I hate Trump's government and policies ... if the Israelis want to vote for that again, then I think the United States has to take a very tough position."

A conservative estimate.

Never forget that, since 11 September 2001, the US military is responsible for the deaths of approximately 4.5 million people and the displacement of at least 38 million (a conservative estimate).

Absolutism is the privilege of the powerful and the curse of the oppressed.

Sociopathic thing to say about an oppressed minority fighting simply for their right to live.

This is from Oct. 9, 2023! Have you all just forgotten? Why is this more important now, because it came from a Saudi or something? www.timesofisrael.com/egypt-intell...

As it turns September 11th here where I live, I commemorate the 2,997 victims murdered by the hijackers and what would be an estimated 5,000,000 victims murdered by the US's relentless slide into militarism, authoritarianism, fascism, and genocide that started that day. Each lost life was equal.

Big if true. Yemen has scored not only a precision strike against crucial infrastructure, they have timed their actions to a level formerly unthinkable in Western circles. Look at MSM framing on the taking of Mokha, and you can taste the shock in their mouths. Akin to Oct. 7th.
