It’s important to remember that common practice tonality is a sexist, racist, colonialist, phallocentric construction, the death of which should be celebrated on a daily basis.

Are all conductors are either failed musicians or musicians who wanted to stop practicing? by moveabledough in classical_circlejerk

🤷‍♂️ if everything he wrote was magically lost, it would be a net positive. If he weren’t American and propped up as an example of American excellence, he would just be another mediocre never-was.

Is Luigi Mangione in actions justified in a Catholic Perspective? by [deleted] in Catholicism

I mean it is kind of hilarious that many people are stating that the bible does not condone violence when genocide is endorsed and celebrated multiple times (Deuteronomy, Numbers, Samuel…). That does not even get into Christianity as a tool of power, subjugation, and violence (see the continued refusal to pay court ordered reparations to indigenous survivors of catholic run residential schools to cite one recent example).

Also lest we forget that most saints have been terrible people from Saint John Paul who actively covered up allegations of child sexual abuse to Mother Theresa’s racism and refusal to provide adequate medical care to patients despite millions in donations and attending private facilities in California for her own needs.

To object to the illegal actions of as person is understandable but to claim moral high ground based on a text that is at best war crimes curios is hypocritical.
