Well I dunno your tastes, but some newer music that isn’t shit (I’m an album listener myself, so I judge by the whole album):

Black MIDI - Hellfire

Adult Jazz - Gist Is

Billy Woods - all three of his newest (one is under “Armand Hammer”, called “we buy diabetic test strips”, the other is “maps,” probably the most widely accessible, and the newest is Golliwog)

Shellac - To All Trains

Fiona Apple - Fetch the Boltcutters

KNOWER - KNOWER Forever

Those few albums span some genres and should cover a lot of tastes. I can add some more if you’re interested, those were just off the top of my head

There is so much music today. To say new music sucks is wild

As someone who works in film, I don’t understand how people would be down with that. Our days are stupid long and exhausting. Everyone usually just wants to get home by the time we finally finish

There’s always meth.

And if you get bored of that, opioids

I mean…civilian gun hoarders vs the US military? We wouldn’t win. Sure, you could see a long drawn out guerrilla war, but head to head we do not have the advantage

We can only hope that trump does end up dying soon and this comment sparks some massive conspiracy and the right turns on and subsequently eats itself

Well we gotta give em the benefit of the doubt: say a gunfight started. What better time than when a bunch of children are in every backdrop? Come on, it’s just common sense!

Oh you’re from England? But you don’t have an accent

Where are you located? I thought hot air balloons are really rare these days, like less than 200 in the world

Or am I thinking of blimps?

What do you mean? I can’t even read that it says William Clark

This is a pretty pessimistic take. We are seeing increases in “folk heroes” to increasing repression and violence from the state. That’s a positive trend. The whole world is lurching toward the right. Stop shitting on other people for not doing something and do something yourself. Or encourage others and spread ideas. Start a strike in your town, start a buy nothing movement. Do anything but shit on an entire group of people for “failing” your apparent standards. It doesn’t help—if helping move the world in the right direction is even something you actually care about.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

At least tidal pays the artists more

Yeah the problem is with all the deregulation on generational wealth and workarounds for rich people to stockpile and keep their money, the offspring of the ruling class will be the same kind of assholes. Look at Sam Altman, he’s not old. Look at mark whateverthefuck. He’s not old. Now, those people didn’t exactly inherent their money, but you can’t tell me these guys won’t be around for the next 40 years fucking shit up. And their kids? And the kids of all the Murdochs, the bush kids, the Koch offspring…there are a lot of shitty families able to reproduce and spread their sickness. This isn’t going to wind down and give us a fresh start. These rich people will be protected by an increasingly violent state and they will all burn it down before they let it change. They’re not weakening over time. They’re amassing even more wealth and the regulations and ideas around capitalism are only getting more virulent and violent. We aren’t about to ride off into the sunset on the backs of a new generation. They are going to be focusing on surviving, more than we ever were.

Sunken costs?

No se. Traducía palabra por cada uno. Puede ser, como dijiste, nadie está hablando sobre el black block en estos días

Well 20 years ago nationalism in the US was at seemingly an all time high. It was hat dressed up as patriotism

How about Las Masqueras Negras. El Bloc Negro.

The guardian angels are just different pieces of shit

Racism. The answer is racism. His white supremacist supporters love watching masked secret police beat the shit out of brown people. Then they’ll blame the next closest person when the food stops being produced and the farm food all rots on the vine

I’m saying it’s literally a free VPN. But they’re q company. If they’re offering you free shit, you’re the product.
