      To be fair they have the good sense to know someone should be in charge of them. Like, you told them they can have a voice in politics and their immediate reaction is that they are not qualified to have any input in how things are run. So I gotta respect the self actualization there.

          So are most liberals but at least monarchies are whimsical. At it's face the proposition that the most inbred Germany family will make better choices than congress is not an absurd claim.

        There's quite a few monarchist dipshits that fancy themselves the Sigma Male viziers to the monarch. cringe

          It's like every current monarchist. None of them think they will be a serf after monarchy is back, all imagine themselves at least a counts or dukes.

              Also an obligatory reminder that Khorne don't care from where the blood flows. Fun fact: in 40k version the only dude who kinda properly worship Khorne is Kharn, and even other chaos guys hate him and call him "The Betrayer" lol.

      Hey, do you mind telling me what these screenshots are from? Based purely on the vibes of 5 stills from some (I assume) movie/TV show, I now want to watch it. Unless it's super extra terrible, but even so I might still enjoy it. So please, UlyssesT, tell me what ridiculous slop you took these images from so that I can watch it!

      Thanks!

        They're from the music video for the song "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden.

            Let me know what you think. It was a cultural marker for its time: boomers were getting inarguably old, were trying to keep younger people out of power, and suburban blight was at its peak.

              Well. First of all, it was great and dense, I'm going to need to watch it a few times to understand it.

              Second of all, it was creepy as shit. Is it supposed to be scarier than some scary movies I've seen? Maybe it's just that the things it's meditating on (suburbia and ennui, I think, I bet there's more) are terrifying to me.

              All in all, great song, great music video, I'm going to watch it a few more times before I have a real take on it.

                The band claimed that it "didn't mean anything" but I still think there was some subtext there, perhaps even subconsciously, that speaks of the (very real, and I lived it) ennui and malaise of white affluent culture in the 90s.

                  Haha, that's some hilarious bullshit! No one makes meaningless art, come on now! Well, good for them that they made art during "the end of history", when you could pretend you were making "meaningless" art. Fucking idiots.

                  But yeah, I'm a little too young to have experienced the ennui of the 90's, sounds like a whole ass situation. (Although, in some ways, tbqh, living a materially comfortable life where your biggest worry is fucking ennui doesn't sound so bad. I wish I could rent an apartment to be sad in for a reasonable amount of money, you know?)

                  Still, the music video was terrifying, so obviously it's not all fun and games, even if you can afford your basic necessities

                    I think the ennui of the 90s, where it seemed a better world was no longer possible and a "long now" was all that was visible on the horizon did break some brains. That feeling of emptiness and boredom encouraged nihilism, selfishness, and a sense that not caring about things wasn't just a default, but was cool. It became a thing where caring about anything was considered uncool and some took that well into the next century.

                    I don't know what ultimately happened to Soundgarden, but a lot of Gen-X bands got really reactionary as years went on, such as Green Day being the one band of any note to sign on to so-called "MetalGate" (an attempt to bring freeze-gamergate to the metal fandom, fortunately unsuccessfully) and almost every personality featured on MTV back then (imagine "influencers" before social networks really existed) aged into a full blown GOP lackey or even a NewsMax propagandist.

      I googled and scanned articles for ~5 minutes but I got nowhere. In other news - google now actively blocks me from getting what I want.

      • Iranian women in the 1970s meme blog
      • Iranian women in the 1970s meme blogger
      • Iranian women in the 1970s meme wordpress

      .

      I only got one top blog result from all of that - and it was shit.
