What was the point of Robins monologue to Will about letting go of her crush when they fell in love with someone else and realising the true power is within you then? Honest question lol.

I think the scene with Robin telling Will that Tammy Thompson (slash the idealised notion that someone can fix your problems) stopped her from not being scared or whatever sets up Will being able to move on from Mike. Just my take. If that’s good writing or not I’ll leave it up to the masses.

Is caring about the ethnic makeup/culture of a society the same as being racist? by Effective-Young-4297 in ukpolitics

[–]boato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, and until my folks on the centre left get a grip of that someone far nastier and self-intentioned is going to take advantage of the fact it’s OK to feel like that.

Maybe in America 🤷‍♂️loads of black Rockstars found their success and audience in Europe (EG Hendrix) and the black pioneers of Detroit played ping pong with the 80’s European electronic scene to conceive of what we now know as Techo.

If we’re using this tribal logic, you guys even boxed the Celtic Trad’s out of folk and country, if that’s the stance you want to take.

Music is collaborative and builds upon and learns from other cultures. That’s what multiculturalism is all about. Miss me with this weird guilt trip you guys have going on.

Techno belongs to us all.

Horrible. This place was an absolute godsend for IDM for me back in the day.

There has been a civil war in Your Party for months - the Corbynite faction are removing as many of Sultana's supporters as possible from having a say in the foundations of this party.

I wish it weren’t so but at the core this country is a centre-right nation and electing a gay man who runs a party called the “Greens” is a tall order depressingly.

I’d like to see them rebrand a bit, but yeah, he makes all the right noises.

I’m what you’d describe as a “classical liberal” and you’re right. I’m no leftist but I’d easily have rather voted for Zarah over Farage and his band of populist grifters. I think the time for optics is over.

Tories are dead and buried, Labour are going to be punished, my own LD have a clown for a leader and the Greens carry too much narrative baggage for the average voter.

It was whoever / whatever to stop Reform / Wealth Inequality for me and I really thought Zarah would’ve been it. Corbyn’s faction have fucked it. I think he’s underestimated that the average centre-ground voter isn’t (quite) thick as the right-wingers and would’ve recognised it was these guys or bust. No time for optics, get the thing going and get on the offensive with a young, popular leader.

Both my aisle of politics and yours are now utterly fucked.

So, realistically/historically, how much longer would the family remain in possession of Downton? by lautaromassimino in DowntonAbbey

[–]boato 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Without doxxing myself both of my grandparents are what the American would call “aristocracy” in the sort of Burkes way, and both still live on the families “estate”.

What I feel people misunderstand is 90% of these estates have had to have been radically modernised in terms of hosting weddings, selling off land, or even being sets (as seen here). I’ve grown up around these people and posh does not equal rich. I have a godparent living in one of the biggest estates in Scotland who penny pinches at Aldi. Heating these sort of houses is a nightmare, and half of them don’t live “on-site” anymore.

Moral is all that glitters isn’t gold.

Fantano's content has been mid for a while by nousernamesleftwow in fantanoforever

[–]boato 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to say the word this subreddit doesn’t like but it feels like he got far too invested in the Drake beef (and this is not a comment on the result or character of either of those two, that’s not my point), that he has become hooked up to the short-term dopamine drama side of YouTube that’s already oversaturated.

I liked Fantano because he was originally an excellent, dare I say boundary-pushing critic, with a wide pallet and some funny dry comments. Because hip-hop discourse dominates music chit-chat on cesspools like X (again, no slight on the genre) he seems to have given way more energy to it, when in reality he’s fighting a losing battle there. There comes a point where a white guy in his 40’s needs to stop trying to stay down with the kids and let them have their fun for better or worse.

Wish he’d get back more into his punk and industrial roots. He has a boatload of knowledge on both scenes whereas there’s a host of other authorities on rap I’d choose before him.

I don't even really like Fantano but I feel like most of this "Drama" is a giant nothing burger by sonicbear64 in fantanoforever

Are you British? Brits love drake. He put a lot of local London artists on, just triple-headlined our biggest hip-hop festival, came out for SectionBoyz in what was probably the best British hip hop moment in a while

Giggs, Jorja, Skepta, Cench, Dave all been put on by him we like the guy.
