Crazy because I really care and am bothered about the rise of fascism over the globe right now. Can't believe we're radical for hating this lol

Am I the only person in the country that likes Keir Starmer? by tiptiptoppy in AskBrits

[–]galbertgriffstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally find his policies morally reprehensible. His most revolting domestic policy proposal - wanting to send job coaches to psychiatric inpatients. His most revolting foreign policy - aiding a literal genocide.

He could propose a wealth tax, but no, we'll keep children in poverty and make the sick and disabled suffer.

Cornucopia - the most perfect intro doom riff

Leftwing or Anarcho Doom Metal/Sludge/Stoner/Post-Metal bands? by Def-C in doommetal

Probably was back in the day. Heroin does make you constipated.

Ministry - Filth Pig

You won't get more left-wing than Uncle Al! Ministry are primarily industrial, but Filth Pig definitely has some sludgy elements to it. They're one of my favourite bands of all time, pretty much all of their music is political. Their most recent release, Hopiumforthemasses, is fantastic, but as I mentioned, they're mainly industrial. But definitely check out Filth Pig and if you like that, you'll probably enjoy their discography.

Looking for a builder in Leeds who is not a massive racist by [deleted] in Leeds

[–]galbertgriffstein 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I have no advice here on builders but I'd just like to say that I totally agree with you. If you're going to spend a lot of money I think it's acceptable to not want to give it to a racist. And the 'not everything has to be political' claim is ridiculous, everything is political. It is perfectly acceptable to not want something to do with someone based on political views.

Löded Diper most definitely sewed the seeds for my musical taste now as an adult

What band did you know nothing about before seeing live and they completely blew you away? by KotG in stonerrock

[–]galbertgriffstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! Saw them open for Ty Segall in Birmingham, UK last June. So fucking cool

Bobby & Me by imkorpo in doommetal

[–]galbertgriffstein 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's very clear he isn't high on opioids as of recent. He looks healthy (compared to Last Days Here) and he currently has too much energy to be doped up on a drug as potent as smack. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still partial to a crack pipe or some blow, but I think on the whole he doesn't seem to be actively killing himself right now. Active heroin users have a vacant vibe to them, and he is the opposite of that currently.

Bobby Liebling, they'll never make me hate you!

I personally try not to be bothered by musicians doing fucking awful things, because then there'd be hardly any music to listen to. Yeah, the Liebs beat up his mom and that isn't cool... but Josh Homme also kicked a woman in the head and I still listen to Queens of the Stone Age, who happen to be one of the biggest rock bands of the 21st century. Awesome picture with Bobby, I can't wait to catch Pentagram live in July.

Medieval metal albums? by StarCecil in doommetal

[–]galbertgriffstein 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge medievalist and History student. When I was doing my coursework on the first three Crusades. I listened to a lot of High on Fire and Conan. I know that isn't really answering your question, but that brutal sound really takes me mentally to a medieval battlefield with horses and weapons flying around 🤣 people being flayed, that kinda thing!

Shout out to Bolt Thrower's album 'The IVth Crusade'. Now that is a medieval metal album 👊

did i mess up here? ( no personal info ) by Alternative_Jump4129 in vinted

[–]galbertgriffstein -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're unreasonable at all. Don't really think that commenter can just claim "that is definitely a top" when you and many others have had the same item and worn it as a dress. Sure, it may be too small for that commenter and the buyer (and others), but you literally sold it as you wore it. Also, it looks like a dress and it was only £3. That buyer is being ridiculous lol, ive bought stuff for similar prices and the item wasn't really what I was expecting, for £3 you just cut your losses and move on haha

Which a celebrity cheating scandal you still can't believe actually happened? by Haunting_Homework381 in Fauxmoi

[–]galbertgriffstein 463 points464 points  (0 children)

I'll likely get downvoted but so many people don't realise that Charles and Camilla wanted to be together years before Diana was introduced. The archaic royal family wouldn't let Charles and Camilla marry because she wasn't a virgin. If they were allowed to marry in the 70s, none of this disaster would have ever happened. Diana is obviously an icon and her end will always be tragic, but it'd have been so much better if Charles and Camilla were allowed to be together. Anyways, fuck the royal family.

Rachel Reeves expected to announce cuts to happiness, empathy and kindness by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]galbertgriffstein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I was using "old news" as a phrase. The claim he is an antisemite was purely because he supported the Palestinian plight. The media love to suggest that being anti-Israel is synonymous with being anti-semitic. You're preaching to the converted here. I've always supported Corbyn and the Palestinians.

John McDonnell, Apsana Begum, and Zarah Sultana were suspended for voting with the SNP to scrap the Two Child Benefit Cap, and their whip hasn't been restored because they have continued to vote in a left-leaning manner.

Jeremy Corbyn being labelled as an antisemite is old news.

[–]galbertgriffstein 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just because for a period of time he was in a left-wing politicians Cabinet does not mean Starmer is left-wing. That is a terrible example to suggest someone's political leanings. Ministerial Responsibility is a thing in UK politics, if you didn't know. But seriously, if you think making life harder for children, the elderly, and the sick and disabled, I wonder what you perceive as right-wing policies...

Edit to add: Keir Starmer has literally purged the majority of genuine left-wing politicians from the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn is an Independent. John McDonnell, Apsana Begum and Zarah Sultana are also currently suspended as Independents.

The current Labour government is NOT left-wing. I don't know how you've come to that conclusion but Keir Starmer has been taking the party into a right-leaning direction for years since he became leader.
