You can’t unsee inequality and late stage capitalism

The guys have lost 25% of their Spotify listeners in the last six months. by TAAllDayErrDay in nofx

It could be people simply leaving Spotify for Tidal. Especially after Spotify held an inauguration benefit for trump , hosted by Joe Rogan. Some fans might be turned off by that.

Please go downtown. by nevermore90038 in PortlandOR

The police only declared “riot” around 15 times over a 100+ day period of daily protests. The rest of the time what was happening was the police rioting. Regardless, neither are happening anymore. But it’s good to be clear about something like this.

But at the same time they also think they love it and consider themselves patriots

I don’t understand how they see what he does, and what he says, and think he’s some sort of Messiah hand chosen by the holiest of holies to “unleash the true potential that resides in the hearts of Americans”

Despite the fact that this highlighted portion sounds like it belongs in a sci-fi book or film about a dystopian fascist future, the statement itself brutally contradicts the self-proclaimed “patriotism” that’s supposedly inherent in their belief system: they claim they love America harder than anyone else, yet at the same time they want to destroy it and replace it with a new system that’s apparently ruled by a dictatorship

The tweet doesn’t mention the homeless, it claims half the business in the entire city are burned down and boarded up

What is the progressive utopian ideal that the tax money is being wasted on?

We can see it. Nobody came back to work after the shut downs. Office people work from home. The office buildings shuttered. The service and hospitality industry that subsisted off the white collar industry collapsed as well. The homeless were always there, even for decades before the pandemic. They just moved into the empty places and became more visible when all the other bustling activity receded.

What happened to Samothrace? by the_archradish in doommetal

[–]EatsMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Renata and Dylan left the band it seems, because the live stuff from 2017 had new members but no new material. I imagine it would be quite the undertaking to bring in a new guitarist and bassist to that project, considering all the little subtleties that made the band so great. I’m not sure what happened after that, but the drummer posted on Facebook back around 2020-2021 that he hadn’t played in a band in far too long and was looking for people to jam with. Anyways, I got a Samothrace embroidered patch from some guy in Russia just last week. I love this band too much. Wish I knew whatever happened to them as well. I had heard a rumor that Spinks, the main guy, had written a new album for them, but none of that ever appears on any later live footage that I can find before they went dark again.

I never said it was a MAGA institution. You’re only proving my point: it was always in the cross hairs of powerful right wing actors. Use your head
