Cause deep down they understand them. White settlers identifying with other white settlers. Even though they might legitimately disagree with them, fundamentally they don’t see them as a threat to their existence and view the disagreement as purely academic. They understand and are sympathetic to how these people arrived at their views. And really they’re only one hardship away from becoming completely reactionary themselves, as we saw with Covid.
The United States is a joke but Jesus Christ we’re really outdoing ourselves this time around. I guess we figure if this is the end of the us we gotta go out with a bang
I think The Band are one of my favorite bands of all time so definitely them. Big Pink, self-titled and of course their live concert The Last Waltz are the staples for them.
But I’m not listening to anything too obscure. Neil Young, Bob Dylan. A lot of people have a strong opinion on Dylan but imo Highway 61 is a perfect album, and one of Huey Newton’s favorite albums in fact.
The Byrds, Van Morrison. The Grateful Dead do some folky stuff, especially on Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty. Also if you want obscure check out their pre-Dead jug revival band Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions.
Buffy Ste Marie is one of my favorite musicians of all time. Sweet America is good by her. There was some controversy with her earlier in the year calling into question her claim to Native American ancestry. It was mostly reactionary bullshit iirc. She also has an album called Illuminations which has been praised retroactively for being a very forward looking electronic album. There’s also Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell, and more traditional folk revival stuff, like Dave Van Ronk and Odetta.
Could be ignorance but could also be that he knows the base doesn’t really know anything and is just gonna buy the lie like they always do. I mean he’s got them all believing that the Abraham accords were some great attempt at peace in the region rather than further attempts to alienate the Palestinian people.
Dad rock. Used to listen to solely classic rock in middle school since that was the only real music, then I grew out of that attitude and started enjoying other types of music. Now I’m returning to some of those old classics and I have a new appreciation for them with a greater understanding of the musical landscape.
Though by dad rock I mostly mean 60s folk rock. Guess that’s not the stereotypical dad rock, which is usually more hard rock oriented
I am sort of willing to believe the “she lost because she’s a Black woman” lib analysis. She was a shitty candidate, as was Hillary, but it’s not like Biden was a good candidate. He was sundowning from the start, he picked a cop running mate and his policies were “nothing will fundamentally change.” Maybe what he had going for him was the pandemic, general anti-Trump anger was stronger, and reverberations from the George Floyd protests but idk just seems like he was just as shitty as Hillary and Kamala but was able to beat Trump. Someone tell me I’m wrong
Edit: also I’m not saying this is the sole reason, far from it, but I can’t help but feel they do have a point and it played a role
I really don’t see Harris winning Pennsylvania at 90% reporting, unless like for some reason Philly has barely counted their votes and they’re all for the dems. Think she’s officially cooked.
