With every repost his moustache gets bigger.

Neither of you is wrong. I use those too. But needing them is a sign of a shit website for sure.

If I had to guess, the israelness. A source other than the times of Israel might get a better reception. Plenty of people right or wrongly (mostly the former) knee jerk about anything that has Israel in its name.

If you liked damaged then you won’t be disappointed. Tom definitely has a way with bittersweet and emotional punches.

Tom has so many really great and potent tracks. From very morose and mellow. To extremely stiff and stompy. Noise Inside My Head, Damaged and Disappoint are some of my frequents. Between him and Ronin it’s definitely a solid mood.

That would definitely be a bridge too far. Samurai Lincoln would never approve of it either.

Booker really seems to be the real deal. From everything in his time in local politics to the Federal level. I would love to see someone more like him in leadership than Schumer.

Yeah that’s definitely another good one. That’s kind of a good thing about Ministry no matter what you like they probably had a period they went through it lol. New Wave, ebm and Industrial.

Oh no I understand it. And campism is 100% the right word for it. 100% childish and lacking in critical thought. Being a pragmatist I tend to rub ideologues the wrong way regardless. But at least some of them you can understand and respect. Campists should not get any.

That’s actually an awesome idea. Not having to deal with another childish ML screaming “anarkiddie” when you point out that China isn’t communist. Or the breathless “but-but-but someday they will be!!! 1!” Because as we all know, those with power love to give it up.

I know I could put together an hour long set/playlist of just covers of this song. 🙂 It’s an icon like Bauhaus’s Bella etc. Early Ministry is always my favorite ministry. Effigy is another classic.

Yes the whole point of that statement was pointing out that the latter didn’t happen. It was a rhetorical statement. The framing before that statement made it quite obvious. Stating that in order for the parties to have switched. The fascists would have to leave the Republican party. Which anyone who is informed knows did not happen. You are agreeing with me while attacking me.

Unfortunately handling those sort of things at the server level would add a lot of extra processing over what it currently does. Which for a democratized Federated and distributed system. Would be very tough.

I didn’t say otherwise. I literally implied that the xenophobic bigots and the fascists all joined together in the Republican Party. You need to work on reading comprehension I think.

Don’t you know? Only those that do good things to avoid eternal spiritual damnation are truly free. People that do something just because it’s right are slaves to their conscience… Or something even stupider than that I suppose.

Nope just blocks YOU from seeing their communities. You ultimately have to block them individually.

Yep. This isn’t lack of self awareness or hypocrisy. It’s manufacture of consent for them to do what they want.

Nice. I’ll have to give it a full listen and later along with the rest of their catalog. Hadn’t necessarily heard of them. But I’m always up for more Mediterranean goth / darkwave.

Selofan is another favorite from the region. Just over in Greece.

While that is the pop culture explanation it isn’t quite right. In order for the parties to have flipped. The rural xenophobic bigots would have had to go to the Republican party. And the Republicans fascists would have had to have gone to the Democratic party.

The KKK and the bigots switched. The parties didn’t really. The true irony being the KKK and Southern bigots were the huge influence on European fascists. But in the United States they were technically opposed simply because they had traditionally been in different political parties. But civil rights legislation brought about a realignment. Our ignorant xenophobic bigots and our fascist suddenly found themselves Brothers in Arms.

The party’s polarized along the xenophobia and bigotry lines. But they didn’t really switch.

Almost strange to think that this nearly never played on the radio track is one of Duran Duran’s more covered songs. This is definitely a fun interpretation of it though.
