I don't need your civil war, but it would be cool if some of the people in power who could do something about all the ethnic cleansing terror squads would do more than speeches and posts about how someone should do something about all the etnic cleansing terror squads.

"Civil war" sounds like Texas troops in combat with Chicago troops (?) but it looks more like slob soldiers loitering as the usual cops assault protests against unpopular government paramilitaries doing ethnic cleansing at the behest of real estate developers. Which is terrifyng, but also more dumb.

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

Few people outside of the heavy music world can sympathize with the peculiar disappointment of having to say "I regret to inform you that the band that sounds like a septic polyrhythmic earthquake and has indistinguishable lyrics about torturing biblically-accurate angels has terrible politics."

I work hard to vet music for my small + inconsequential FM radio show. Dead Congregation is an old favorite, but I've also caught a vibe that I too willingly attributed to their sheer ruggedness after failing to turn up solid confirmation that the "vibe" is "fash." It sucks! But thanks for this.

All that needs to be said about "Metal Threat festival". Your old regular nazi metal bands like Arghoslent, Grand Belial's Key and Graveland being brought in and playing together with well known "apolitical" metal bands. Fuck this shit, fuck complicity with nazism in the metal scene.

This. I decided a few years ago that a lot of art produced by absurdly rich ppl doesn’t do it for me anymore. I’m not saying it’s all bad. I’m saying I’m not attached to or invested in it. I don’t care what their commentary is because it’s so divorced from my everyday life. Rax says it better here

“Eldest Daughter" is a symptom of my overall issue with Taylor Swift: the scale of her music just feels fucking off. In 2025, she's no longer a lovelorn kid singing about Romeo and Juliet; she's a 35-year-old billionaire who's played sold out stadiums all over the world. She's Taylor Swift. That's her name. Damn near every living person knows who she is, and she's singing about the internet? About the fucking comments section? When she sings "I'm not a bad bitch," is she even aware that she's lying, that she's worshipped by more girls and women than almost anybody else? Even her love songs feel incorrect to me on these grounds. When I think about the real circumstances of her life, I just start wondering where the songs are about the housekeepers, the assistants, the cooks, the drivers, and every other person who's changed her life way more than the man in the Musso and Frank's booth in "Elizabeth Taylor." I struggle to trust her as the lyrical steward of ordinary human experiences. I am certain it's been many years since she's had one the way I have them, with all the waiting for a table that implies, and the navigating of customer service phone trees, the dithering over $35 travel insurance that I can never decide if I actually need, the frantic emails about unpaid freelance invoices, the trip back to the grocery store for the thing I forgot when I went earlier in the day, and all the other boring crap I have to do because I can't buy up other people's lifetimes so they have to do it for me.

Just a reminder that the reason these articles exist is because liberals need to pretend to still care about climate change when they have abandoned every single structural reform and are fully committed to disaster capitalism. Eugenics is the next step there.

There's a huge difference between accepting the theory prioritizing the accumulation of money, power, and fame doesn't produce happiness, and the practice of celebrating action that doesn't produce money, power, or fame.

Cosmic Chambo @cosmicchambo.bsky.social · 1d

The idea that one can measure success in terms other than the accumulation of wealth, power, and fame is an extremely radical concept and it's deeply inspiring when people talk about that.

Our self-described "international market" is organized by geographic region so I pretend that listening to political podcasts helps me predict whether the yellow splits in the "India" aisle will be cheaper than the packages in the "Middle East" aisle.

Paranoia can be exhausting but I like the part of prepping that involves going to the international market and buying large packages of different kinds of lentils.

maybe casually referring to an unpopular fascist government's unilateral violence against peaceful civilians as "civil war" supports the unpopular government's propaganda justifying unilateral state violence as a popular response to the nonexistent violence of an imaginary opposing faction

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

The picture from
The article with a picture of an armed men standing in front of a burning donut shop. You must click through to read the caption “
Two National guardsmen stand guard outside a burning donut shop in Los Angeles on April 30, 1992.
The National Guard was called in to aid police during the second day of rioting in the city.”
