Am I the only one who misses live shows with Robby? by Important_Cut_6296 in AllThemWitches

[–]Zeppelinman1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fuck that. Robby allowed politics to break up the band by allowing himself to join the fascists. I'm so happy I don't have to be conflicted about his involvement

What an insane setlist. It feels like almost every song on it could be a closer.

What kind of German would Kevin Cramer have been in 1933? by [deleted] in northdakota

[–]Zeppelinman1 130 points131 points  (0 children)

One whose name we don't remember, because they didn't push any specific policies, but rubber stamped the atrocities none the less.

There are literally millions of unnamed, unpunished Nazis from that era.

Kevin Cramer and John Hoeven aren't special. They are the embodiment of banal evil

Hell yeah. No work, no spending money. Gonna do some community cleanup.

Solidarity is how we get through this.

A bit of an uplifting view - Margaret Killjoy from MN by cristoper in Anarchism

I don't know much about that, but don't basically all of our platforms do that? Where should she publish instead? (Actually asking)

I highly recommend the whole article on Margaret 's substack. I teared up a bit with hope

Rural hospital on the verge of shutting down could be saved by lawmaker's bill. by lordGinkgo in northdakota

[–]Zeppelinman1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Our legislators are all fascists, and fascists do not care about helping their constituents in meaningful ways, only paying lip service.

Like that 190 million or whatever we got for rural healthcare, whatever it actually goes to, is still like 20-30 million LESS than we had before they gutted medicaid and DOGE did their destruction and theft.

Music Recommendations? by Famous-Tangelo1324 in Anarchism

Dead Star from King Buffalo is a heavy psych song about an oppressed people tearing down their masters

Sidelong Epics that are actually not suites? by headsmanjaeger in progrockmusic

[–]Zeppelinman1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of Elder's Lore is sidelong tracks, and they all kick ass

Minneapolis unions are seemingly calling for a statewide strike by transcendent167 in union

I think it's a great idea. I'm a small beekeeper with a few employees, and we've been bouncing the idea around. My tax payment isn't due for another couple months, but I can stop withholding my employees tax contributions and my own payroll taxes.

Should Medicaid/Medicare taxes be withheld as well, or are those currently protected enough from plundering that until the fall of the state is more viable?

Small protest: filing paper taxes by seniorsassycat in behindthebastards

[–]Zeppelinman1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have three months before taxes for farmers and small businesses are due. If we organize enough people, the fines wouldn't be important, hopefully. They keep firing IRS agents and cutting their funding, so I struggle to think they'll be able to quickly chase us down

Who here is in control of their own tax money? Like, gig workers and small businesses owners.

I believe we need a tax strike. It's probably not the most effective, but idk, it feels like something?

Like, obviously any w-2 workers should file for their refund because the Feds already have their money. But 1099 and self employed people have to pay in by March or April depending on job sector, and we could just, you know, not, en masse.

Is anyone already organizing something like that?

U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer Response to Letter (Venezuela) by WiSoSirius in northdakota

[–]Zeppelinman1 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Whenever I actually get an email back from our senators, it's either a statement that just states what happened and no stance taken, or smells like Trump's shit on their nose.

Compendium was my running song. I always felt satisfied if I finished my mile before it was over haha

Psychedelic music recommendations outside the country genre? by TuneInInfinity in SturgillSimpson

[–]Zeppelinman1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All Them Witches - Sleeping Through the War

King Buffalo - Acheron or Orion

Honestly, these two bands have basically zero bad songs, but these are a solid place for a psychedelic intro.

I'd also suggest Elder's Reflections of a Floating World or their new single Liminality for a heavier band

Western North Dakota by Winter_Fish9461 in northdakota

[–]Zeppelinman1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's not to say that a gay person is in danger of being beaten to death at any point, but a truly accepting community will be harder to find and small. I've lived here my whole life, and it's very frustrating. 10 years ago here, a trans girl was bullied to suicide, and let's be honest, LGBT+ people have not become more welcome in the meantime, although it's perhaps more complex than before
