i think this is a precise and fair criticism in an otherwise disappointingly ignorant cesspool of a thread

we're talking commie subs being subjected to a constant influx of berniebros. you have to answer questions about stalin 24/7 and try to overlook the pleas for electoral reform. you just want to meme about castro but there's always some dickwad mentioning firing squads. a disgusting effigy of genocide denialist hyperautoritarian cultists that live 50 years in the past, the default perception before hearing their arguments. look, i grew tired of defering seattle-based atmospheric black metal burzum clones to study snorre ruch's riffing after the 10th time. our concerts, zines, platforms and networks is constantly compromized by commercial pressures and polluting trends. though we all differ greatly, there is an astonoshing constant in the metal milieu in that we study the genre chronologically, cultivate an eye for riffing, and stand ardently by individualist preferences, against collectivist influence over taste and commercial or ignorant actors. its gatekeeping as fuck. is that bad? something tells me that aesthetic prejudices would leave that question answered differently than compared to jazz. metal and jazz are mirrored in many regards, and insularity is for both a product of canon standards and bad experiences with intrusions.

as one of very few people who so happen to be both a straightjacket communist and a veteran metal fan, as in grotesque veteran, timeghoul veteran, im talking worship, molested and poison here - let me tell ya that you have an opportunity to learn exactly where this friction comes from and what it's aimed at. if you wanna chalk it up to "cliquey chuds and ((black people music))" that's your loss to bear.

are there any other communities in which the contrast between it's core elements and it's surface associations differ greater? metal fans arent "such shitheads", entryists and prejudiced outsiders are just too far away from understanding what's going on there. of course there is gatekeeping, but its the hipster dogshit pop crossovers that keep trying to squeeze a foot inside the door that is cringe

you're the type of guy to mention sri lanka and the spratley islands. get outta here

the problem being, of course, that when we press for specifics you regurgitate some dumbass nonsensical talking points or half baked analysis and outright propaganda

why are you replying to me about what Ive said to someone other than you? Read the article again, aaron mate is in there.

jesus i started off chalking up these eastern europe nazi stories to be your run-of-the-mill grossly exaggerated propaganda half-truths, but damn. why the fuck are there so many nazi ties in these countries? this is getting fking ridiculous

Ah, I just remembered who our resident leftcom grifter was. my apologies to @LibsEatPoop3 for the confusion. These takes aren't good:

china is bad, china government is bad, china foreign policy contains crimes

please leave us alone, no1 wants your grifts on this website

real taliban boosting on rslashcommunism vibes

when the concrete is being poured in the south wall

good. dudes been leasing oil for pennies to france these last 40 years. fuck'm. cant remember where i readit but they argue that chad have been the pitch perfect archetype of neocolonialism; a discontinuous tribal society with a shambolic state that survives and perpetuates on leasing resources for gutter price.

is this your usual leftcom grift? you know perfectly well aaron mate of grayzone fame. this article refers to a unsc working meeting in which mate is called in by the russian delegate to make the case of the douma chemical attack being forgery. The indian delegation makes noises wildly contrary to their general motions in the geopolitical landscape, in declaring the latest opcw report on syria as "falling short" on standards of neutrality and integrity, effectively adding a hugely important and flagrantly unexpected voice in support of the dissenting left regarding the chemical weapons allegations against assad. Your airbrushing about china and pakistan is irrelevant here. this is a case of diplomatic leverage shifting in assad's favour in respect to the indian delegation's standard of ethics trumping it's otherwise pro-western partisanship

hey this is kinda a big deal. bump this to shove it in the anti-grayzone's faces. imagine being this one indie journo guy that gets placed in a security council meeting to spit a case for the russian ambassador and ending up with the indian delegation agreeing with the chinese and russians blank in the face of their quad allies and a very agitated america. incredible, big feather in the hat for the whole grayzone clique. idgaf who traveled to rt galas in moscow when, if you manage to flip india in a security council call you are solid as gold
