“Became” Lmao Weird way to tell people you didn’t understand their lyrics.

They were communists all along, from the beginning. I'm sorry you grew out of being cool.

watching right wingers realize that the creators of everything they derive joy from unequivocally hate them and would never want to be within 100 yards of them irl is always funny

    It's cool that the Twitter checkmark now means "absolutely unhinged moron"

      It sometimes means "someone that :my-hero: is taking time out of his very busy day to apply his mark of the bazinga to them to try to make them stop dunking him"

    I saw a comment saying someone is glad they still have Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins. Which is true, the guy has started calling himself a free market libertarian.

    What's also true is Billy Corgan is completely out of his mind. He believes in chemtrails, he's against vaccines, he claims he has magic powers. He's gone on Alex Jones. He says he can astral project and regularly has meetings with Jesus. This is your guy?

      I'll never regret being a drunken asshole at a small venue Smashing Pumpkins concert back in 2012 heckling him after every song to play Landslide

          I remember Jello Biafra doing a spoken words album in which he crapped all over the WTO. Could have come straight out of the mouth of Trump or Steve Bannon. He even had an anti-WTO related band IIRC.

      Now I understand why D'arcy never came back. Holy shit! The sheer ego on that mf was bigger than I estimated.

    I know liberals and especially libertarians are illiterate (politically and often entirely) but this is dire. Then again, I do think of my years before any sort of real political or class consciousness as passing by in a haze of unconscious consumption so

    :shrug-outta-hecks:

    Not that they deserve an ounce of credit or leeway holy shit

      "Autodidacts" such as :libertarian-approaching: are not just usually wrong, they are often dangerously and maliciously wrong because no one is there to tell them they are wrong and they keep going.

      I don't know if it's anything specific. Eddie Vedder has been an outspoken leftish liberal type his entire career and hasn't ever been shy about it, so I don't know if they did something more recently. I remember him advocating for Ralph Nader around 2000. Pearl Jam did a few concerts at Obama related events too.

      50something 40k toxic fans still talk like that, especially when they're paraphrasing Caesar's Legion while playing online shooters. :grillman:

    The entire point of conservatism is to reject anything that subverts expectations and traditions. Maybe conservatives thrived back in some of the European art movements, but what art have they advanced in the modern era?

    The best they got are mainstream conservative actors who don’t give a shit about the weird direction of modern movies, and Daily Wire showtime tier movies about checks notes hunter biden lmao
