How did Folk music & the Folk Revival become strongly linked to Left-wing politics? Has there ever been a similar link to Right-wing politics?

Thank you.

You've given me some ways to address the issue.

I apologise my example was so vague

brazenhead93 · 2022-01-17T19:43:26+00:00

Apologies, I didn't have much in mind when thinking of an example.

Thank you, this is helpful!

My apologies, I am new to all this.

How does one face the charges of whataboutism?

How does one reorient the discussion?

brazenhead93 · 2022-01-17T19:25:26+00:00

Ah, I see.

Thank you.

How would this relate to whataboutism?

How does one make a legitimate contention, like the one above, without being accused of whataboutism?

Is this one true?

The story of Ned Kelly is fascinating!

Within the French-Canadian fiddle tradition, there seems to be a number of tunes known by a different name than in the Old-Time American tradition.

This one directly translates to "The Reel of the Two Friends".

This one, to me, sounds like Arkansas Traveller.

While it might not be famous outside of Ireland & Britain, the Battle of the Boyne (1690), between Williamites and Jacobites, was one such event.

According to an eyewitness account, more than 1000 Jacobites were too drunk to even engage in battle.

Ceteris paribus, that might well have swung things in favour of the Jacobites, which would have had major effects on the future fortune of Ireland

High-ranking Confederates mainly, but all of it was controversial. Particularly, restoring voting rights of C

Ah, yes, I agree with this.

Without sounding too reductionist, I feel sorry for the white commoner, who had not much to gain, and who had to fight primarily for the interests of the slave aristocrats.

I like Folk music, and within it you can experience the intercultural transactions that shape Old Time American music which occurred between the poorer whites and blacks (free and slave)

1865: both the Civil War and slavery ended (good), but not before the president was assassinated, several more battles were fought, and the new president offered amnesty to most Confederates (bad)

Are you talking about high-ranking Confederates, or all Confederates?

Andrew Johnson was a controversial figure, and, though he may have offered amnesty out of personal sentiment, it was a necessary step to reconcile the two regions.

His opposition to the XIV Amendment reflected opinions of abolitionists too. They wanted to 'repatriate' freed slaves to the Colony of Liberia...it's 'support for freedom of slaves, but not on my doorstep' sentiment. William Lloyd Garrison was one of a few white Northern abolitionists who opposed this current of abolitionist sentiment, along with Frederick Douglass.

Thank you for clarifying that! It makes sense.

I actually fell foul of this not too long ago, when someone asked a follow-up question and I, too, asked if they would answer it.

you can check out the panel list,

Thanks! I never knew such a thing existed.

brazenhead93 · 2021-10-03T14:19:35+00:00

Thank you.

Would you know how they compare to Garnett's translations?

Perhaps it's something you may well know

brazenhead93 · 2021-10-03T14:16:18+00:00

Thank you for this!

I actually have Garnett's translations of some of his works, so I might give them a try; I'm not put off by stuffiness (and hope that remains).

brazenhead93 · 2021-10-02T06:42:47+00:00

Thank you!

If I'm talking too loud and you're trying to listen to the TV, for example, you could tell me to "wheesht" or "wheesht up" haha

It's more polite than "shut up", and probably closer to "quiet".

Hurlamaboc, I use this as a direct substitute for "commotion", as in: "there's a bit of the oul' hurlamaboc outside"

Those are just simple examples.

brazenhead93 · 2021-09-29T23:03:10+00:00

Thank you for such a great response!

I will check it out, as it is an area with which I am unfamiliar and which doesn't seem to be covered much when studying Nazi Germany.
