  • Yup. Helping Trump over Kamala undermines the cause of black liberation. Like Biden, West risks permanent damage to his own legacy if he does not step aside.

    Third parties really are just tools for the Republican Party to confuse and dilute the vote

    Good. This isn’t the election for 3rd party spoilers.

    You know this guys irrelevant when every time I see the name “West” in a poll I think Kanye ran again.

    ooooooooooooooh I can’t do this anymore


  • Political views such as: “murdering Palestinian journalists to cover up war crimes is itself a war crime and wrong” should have no place in the apolitical atmosphere of music. These comments, in fact, have “caused offence and distress” to me and my entire family, and, though we held a ceremony to burn the tickets we purchased in a gas fire, it was not until the concert was cancelled and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra “offer[ed] a sincere apology” that we were fully able to mentally recover (though, of course, the wound still lingers). My wife nearly died (due to the distress, of course) when she heard the news, so I do hope MSO will be paying for her cosmetic surgery.

    All in all, it seems common sense that background checks are necessary to make sure the music played by this orchestra is either meaningless drivel or based upon apolitical themes such as flowers or Star Wars, so that we all may enjoy the tunes without divisions being sown between us, pro and anti murder alike!

    You’re taking a very undialectical approach to the issue, where the problems within Iran (age of marriage here), stemming in large part from economic problems brought on by Western and particularly US imperialism, are proof of the “moral” quality of Iran as compared to the US, and, so too, Iran’s underdevelopment brought upon by these factors in main being its “moral” pride compared to the US as it cannot oppress other nations to nearly the same degree and often must act against national oppression.

    The very idea of the comparison of the “morality” of nations like Iran and the US is beyond nonsense.


  • The legacy of a person is their words and actions, is dying some immensely noble act? Obviously being disrespectful towards the dead is accepted in some cases, so it’s not a rule, and you have to justify this individual case outside of moralist platitudes.

    Remember when the same people who called Trump a racist fascist who wanted to destroy democracy^TM and obliterate the rights of huge segments of the US population went and wished him well after his ear was grazed by a paper airplane, condemning all celebrations of this as morally repugnant? And the same for when he caught Covid years ago? Why? Can people only be disrespected when they’re in perfect health with a full blood supply and intact ears?
