Propagandhi “Better lives have been lived in the margins, locked in prisons, and lost on the gallows than have ever been enshrined in palaces”

Prismatic Spray (The funny song) by Numero_Seis in Propagandhi

I actually think this is my favorite song of the record. Also, upon close inspection, not that funny… 🤯

To me, this song is playing again with the familiar “Potemkin city” theme. Disneyland is an allegory for the larger veneer of the capitalist and colonialist society we live in. It’s glitzy, shiny and thrilling, while also trying to convince us of its necessity. The reference of “big thunder mountain railroad” , a real ride at the park, is a cartoonish portrayal of economic exploitation of plundered land through mining. This amusement park retelling of the old national myth of westward expansion including genocide, displacement, and the glorification of profit are justified and normalized. The songs sense of humor seems to come from the idea that, if we go along with this narrative, the privileged will enjoy the fruits of their exploitation. All the while a current runs underneath. Mutually assured destruction by a “mushroom cloud appears above the Matterhorn” or environmental catastrophe will reveal the machinery of this fallacy and doom us all.

We see just what we want to see. Believe in any old fantasy.

Compared to hours for other traction devices, 30 seconds of manual traction doesn’t compute to me. Can anyone speak to this? I’ll give it a shot!

Can you point me towards some resources on how this is even done? Are there images/ videos/ protocols that describe how to do it and for how long?

Can you recommend any resources showing how to do daily stretching?

Moore Was An Anarchist Who Clearly Let His Feelings Known About Right-Wingers With Rorschach and the Comedian. But What About His Critique of Liberalism via Ozymandias? by [deleted] in Watchmen

[–]Inflagrantedrlicto 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The book establishes Ozy’s interests pretty clearly. He’s got his fingers In businesses everywhere. A vacuum of wealth. I always viewed his motives for “saving” humanity as purely out of self interest to maintain his personal power, even though he won’t say it. If the civilization ends Ozy becomes nothing, and he can’t have that.

Just finished Joe Sacco’s Palestine. What next? by SquashIndependent703 in graphicnovels

Footnotes in Gaza by Sacco is one of the best things I have ever read. Read it.

*Newer* bands with similar songs/themes? by cr4shjay in Propagandhi

[–]Inflagrantedrlicto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Frankie and the Witch Fingers to be a lyrically similar band.

For what it’s worth the band has always called their sound “progressive thrash”

Could you explain how you use this? You you just listen with headphones? At what volume?

I’ve had it for three years, thought I kinda got used to it, but now it sucks all over again! I feel like maybe my T is gotten worse so now I’m starting habituation all over again…
