From a purely tactical standpoint, this is the level-headed, humanist messaging that will reach the most Americans by far. Those who reject it outright as capitulation have given up on the possibility of mass work-- given up on the mandate of the Left in the imperial core
Not to political post but a lot of american leftists are so obsessed with virtue signaling theyre ready to turn on the single best hope for a future of socialism because the mayor of the biggest city in a country run by zionists has to stand stone faced with the government
Like good god. Of course the Mayor of New York has to show his respect to fatalities of Hamas while also condemning the genocide. He has to appeal to humanitarian values otherwise the ammunition against him would be insane
If we are friends I have probably opened my heart to you regarding my feelings on smash burgers. They must be eliminated or greatly reduced if we are going to have a true American society #pubburger
The "punk epiphany" has more to do with DIY attitude than it ever did with embracing a lower standard of complexity. "All you need is three chords," as lame as it may seem to hear from a Gen Xer in a tie, has always been a plea to start today. You are being obtuse.
This is pretentious as hell, music is for everyone and THAT is the sentiment. Not that you can be horrible, but that if you have a good ear you can write a good song. This whole tweet reeks of wanting to one-up people because you liked some complex music as a kid
it's so corny to me when people talk about how punk changed their life. it's always "i had the profound epiphany that u could suck, all you need is 3 chords, anyone can do it" and i'm like (sleep in big bed with wife voice) "i was learning television and radiohead songs as a kid"
being in your 20s sucks cause even the weird reject kids are going to the club doing drugs going to parties and raves all the time bitch can we color and play toys and be nerds i thought we were supposed to be lame as fuck prude losers our whole lives
