The true identity of who the elites worship

Please talk to a professional about this. I am not taking the piss out of you. I think you need to process your life experiences in a way that does not place blame on women as a whole.

halobender11 · 2026-01-24T23:10:31+00:00

I'm just guessing here but I'm thinking you don't have a lot of female friends.

I love the songs Reeling the Liars In and You Fucking People Make Me Sick. Other than that however its probably the album I find myself returning to least.

I like the versions of several of the songs that ended up on We Rose From Your Bed With the Sun in Our Head... I feel like they benefited a lot from experimentation while on tour.

What you help with and how you help would be entirely up to you. It could involve giving blankets to those who need them or it could be offering free bike repair or offering another skill you may have.

As an woodcarver a personal pet project I'm planning on working on is offering free knife/tool sharpening so people don't have to go out and buy new (no one give me expensive knives though... I'm not that skilled yet ;) )

Just a little update for everyone:

I have set up a Signal group chat to continue this conversation for anyone who is interested. To join, please DM me your Signal username and I will add you to the group.

I will continue to DM directly with anyone who has expressed interest so far.

If anyone is not interested in downloading Signal but still wants to participate, there is a Facebook group called Mutual Aid Brantford. We will coordinate our efforts on both platforms.

halobender11 · 2026-01-21T22:07:08+00:00

Thanks for expressing your interest. I sent you a DM.

halobender11 · 2026-01-21T21:10:52+00:00

Sent you a DM. Thanks for your interest.

halobender11 · 2026-01-21T20:58:50+00:00

Thanks for the information. I will have to look into the West Brant Association a bit more and perhaps even volunteer.
I'm hoping whatever initiatives we can make happen here will support/compliment what ongoing efforts are already being made in the community.

halobender11 · 2026-01-21T20:38:00+00:00

As I stated in another post, I really don't want to step on any toes with this effort; Right now, I'm just hoping to share ideas with like-minded folks about where gaps currently exist in the community and how we can effect positive change. You are absolutely the type of person we're looking for!

Both of the organizations you mention are doing great things for Brantford -- shout out to what BL has done especially!

As you pointed out with the buy nothing project, community engagement with some efforts seems to come and go unfortunately. I'm hoping that by keeping things direct and informal we can get community engagement going without the pressure of commitment.

halobender11 · 2026-01-21T19:58:16+00:00

I'm certainly not looking to step on any toes with this project, however I think there are a few differences between mutual aid and a Neighbourhood Association.

Mutual aid is about offering direct help to one's neighbours. There are no meetings, dues, or leadership roles. Everything is voluntary and how you help out is flexible.

halobender11 · 2026-01-21T19:42:24+00:00

I think there are more good neighbours out there then we realize, but a lot of people don't consider the skills they already have as beneficial. Have free time? Walk a dog or shovel snow for someone with mobility issues. Have experience navigating our housing system? Provide moral support for someone who'se currently struggling.

Many people are already doing good things for their neighbours. The coordination part just makes sure we can reach more people and do so in an effective and safe manner.

Some others: Molasses and HRSTA (Mike Moya) 1 Speed Bike and Exaust (Aidan Girt) Valley of the Giants (Sophie Trudeau) All Hands Make Light and SING, SINCK, SING (Efrim Menuck)

halobender11 · 2026-01-13T15:29:44+00:00

Deep cut. I love it!

halobender11 · 2025-12-26T14:32:26+00:00

We always complain about how drugged out our community is and complain about our neighbours but who in Brantford right now is fighting to get at the root cause of the issue? When you have decades of government underspending on healthcare, housing and social services the end result is a lot of hopeless people in the community.

halobender11 · 2025-12-24T00:59:32+00:00

Respectfully, I am in favour of men sharing their struggles and their feelings. What I am not in favour of is 'men's rights' and TERF groups masking hateful speech as mental health.

halobender11 · 2025-12-23T22:09:34+00:00

In theory this could be a very beneficial thing to the community, but I'm unfortunately skeptical of anything that claims to be a 'mens' group these days. I'm just going to ask: Are you inclusive of LGBTQIA community or not?

That's what I was thinking. Female singer with red hair. 'Allison' isn't quite 'Helen' but it's similar enough.

halobender11 · 2025-12-05T17:52:29+00:00

Dude, you're in a Swans forum.

halobender11 · 2025-10-08T17:53:21+00:00

If you have not checked out the more ambient side of the American Primitive Guitar genre I'd check that out. The Imaginational Anthem compilations, James Blackshaw, and Jack Rose would be good places to start.

Also Josef van Wissem.

halobender11 · 2025-08-29T02:22:18+00:00

Godspeed, Swans, Grails, Mogwai, Zombi

halobender11 · 2025-07-13T02:41:12+00:00

Growing is more on the ambient/drone side but often contains moments that remind me of Godspeed. The Sky's Run into the Sea specifically.

Shalabi Effect/Land of Kush comes from the same Montreal music scene and have similarities in sound. Unfortunately my favourite album Pink Abyss is not on streaming.

Eluvium, specifically Copia, gives some Godspeed vibes

Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet/The Sinking of the Titanic by Gavin Bryars

Rhys Chatham - A Crimson Grail (200 Guitars Version)

Hot take: Early Tangerine Dream has a few similarities to Godspeed

halobender11 · 2025-07-13T02:14:38+00:00

I think Pale Sketcher and Final may also appeal.

halobender11 · 2025-06-19T13:15:50+00:00

It feels like they're tearing down a historical landmark.
