Marxist-Poptimist

the sexy/sinister vibe of the album taken to its extreme. A duet where each voice’s identity is constantly morphing through the exaggerated artifice of the sonics, it’s hard to tell which voice is hers or Danja’s (not the only time on the album)

The drive to work from my boyfriend’s house is the first Ramones album long

I feel like a contradiction

The most boomer-brained part of my music taste is that the ‘70s are by far my favourite decade for British rock, though I’ve arrived to that whilst hardly ever listening to Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd

The Barney song’s catchiness inspired many playground remixes about how we should murder him, at least

You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene.

this is an organisation explicitly "committed to advocating for the State of Israel on behalf of the Jewish community in Australia and fostering a deep connection between Australia and Israel."

For them to be issuing a statement like this shows how bad the suffering in Gaza has become

ZFA calls for more humanitarian aid to Gaza Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA) has issued a statement urging increased humanitarian aid to Gaza

The Zionist Federation of Australia has issued a statement calling on Israel "to ensure that sufficient humanitarian aid flows to Palestinian civilians without delay. That is their collective moral obligation.”

So don't

I predicted this would happen: The attempt to shut down credible non-antisemitic voices against what is happening in Gaza has not stopped people from seeing the obvious atrocities. Instead, it has ceded the anti-Israel lane to obvious antisemitic cranks like MTG and Tucker Carlson.

The absence of credible, serious voices in US politics speaking out against the Gaza genocide has allowed antisemitic cranks like Marjorie Taylor Greene to fill that void.

Diddy is possibly the most clear example of someone who sucks as both a human and artist in equal amounts

The smear campaign against Amber Heard 3 years ago was the watershed moment for that backlash

There’s this thing with terminally online leftist v “liberal” arguments where the leftist isn’t arguing with an individual liberal, they’re arguing with a personified totem of “liberalism” that is responsible for the decisions of like every elected Dem and lib they didn’t like on social media.

So many people like myself got into Social Justice buy basically treating it like a fandom, which in turn caused fandoms and anti-fandoms to become treated like politics. Celebrities that are seen as mascots of progressive politics often receive the harshest backlashes when they let people down

Elon Scrooge buying Twitter to turn into a far-right disinformation cesspool. Even the Covid-conscious people I was following were becoming sympathetic to lableak + antivax conspiracy theories and I lost the ability to find a political viewpoint immune to misinformation

Some have questioned why so many trans feminine celebrities have been hit with backlash during an administration attempting to eradicate them and I’ve noticed since 2022 how much liberal call-outs have been weaponized by far-right algorithms after the public vilification of Amber Heard +

“Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)”

It’s easy to mock music fans on Reddit, but they sure know how to colour-code their Topsters beautifully

in all of these cases — sophie, laura jane grace, ethel cain, laverne cox, and yes, contrapoints — the figures involved did things that cis people do all of the time and face absolutely no professional repercussions from the EXACT same crowds claiming to be bringing “accountability” and “justice”

Decided to become a leftist who doesn’t hate liberals more than fascists, it’s healthier

I miss David Lynch.

Wouldn’t have prevented the hyperbolic backlash she’s been dealing with for years, but at least more people would understand that her anger at the online left isn’t for caring too much about genocide, but a genuine caution against outrage addiction, which almost killed me a few years ago

I wish Natalie has clarified that she has been targeted with gore pics of Palestinians for about a year and had been getting pushback for criticizing a antisemitic meme about JFK before she felt arm-twisted to write that post

Need to find a torrent for the Rocko’s Modern Life episode with the scene of Heffer getting dick-milked uncut

do you ever think about how a lot of "millennial music" is just progressively worse versions of Neutral Milk Hotel?

Coldplay are “the worst band ever” for people who don’t care about music as much as they think

People need to know the difference between Zionism the white nationalist political ideology and (((Zionists))) the white nationalist dogwhistle as they’re not *nearly* the same thing

I think it’s a bad thing if people are being informed about Israel’s genocide via the likes of Alex Jones and Jason Hinkle, it’s not concern trolling to point this out.
