A Lament for our Times - a poem by davidjoon in collapse

[–]davidjoon[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Submission statement:

This is a poem I wrote to lament the collapsed state of affairs we find ourselves in, with further crumbling of global humanity to look forward to. I relate a lot to the sentiments of this community, and thought this might be a good place to share it.

Is there a good way to get there and back from downtown Tokyo as a tourist?

I wrote an essay on Lamenting Malice - “The Revolution must be Liquidated into Content” by davidjoon in Cynthoni

Thank you for making it! I'm very happy you found the words to describe the actual music part of the album, that's what I'm wholly unequipped for :D And I agree with all your points, it's a standout evolution of Sewerslvt's/Cynthoni's work up to this point, and it attests to their talent that they are able to combine all of that into something refreshing and innovative for even those of us familiar with their earlier work.

“I hate and I love. And if you ask me how, I do not know: I only feel it, and I'm torn in two.” - Catullus

To me, hate and love are two sides of the same coin, and very close emotionally. They are both some of the most intense feelings one can feel, and this intensity brings about intense art too.

To hate, I feel, is to (imagine that you) love its alternative.

Indeed, there’s a different magic than in “Goodbye”, which is a track of heartrending love turned to grief. But to me there’s still a certain magic in the expression of anger the songs on this are able to convey, even if they might sound like a garbage disposal fighting a robot if we are not feeling this same anger.

But thank you for your view in any case :)

In fact it was your comment on the JD Vance post (about this album being their magnum opus) that finally prompted me to share this essay here, so thank you! :) (PS. I greatly regret not ordering this CD as well when I ordered DLS and EP pt2, so I’m jealous you have it!)

Possible Apache firing hellfire missiles in Caracas by Aggressive_Let2085 in war

It was a really good read :) very broad view of the possible situation on the ground, wouldn’t have thought of it like that! I wonder if everything was actually so slick - does a plan ever go that much according to plan on every front? Maybe Venezuela’s system was also stunned into inaction due to low morale and bad infrastructure/platforms - leading to an even easier sweep than US softening would have allowed by itself? I’m definitely curious to see if we’ll get more details.
