I don't know how obscure they are, but the band Naked City made quite an obscure album called Leng Tch'e (not the band called something similar) that I simply love. I wouldn't call it easy listening, but there's just something about it that hits the spot for me. I can recommend Naked City in general if you're down for some jazz-grindcore-surfer-metal. Yeah, they don't really fit into any one genre, or any five even.
I had not seen that quote before, but I love it! It's sad that it's still so relevant.
As it turns out, praising Musk is the new I Voted for Tr*mp.
You just forced me to look up what a weeb is. It's always good to learn, but sometimes not a hopeful experience.
I'm here as a father of a soon-to-be teenage trans girl. Even though no one in our family every questioned the reality of this journey, I feel the need to educate myself and learn from the stories that people kindly share in places like this.
I can also add that if anyone needs a kind word from a dad, I'm here for you.
Blackrock and Vanguard are well known of course, and I knew that they own a bit of everything and each other, but this is (with the respect to the general air of tin foil hat) really scary stuff.
The TL;DR of it is basically that everything that is worth owning or financially controlling in the world is owned by a single corporate entity that is impossible to fully grasp. So basically Sauron.
I was so sure it had to be one of my countrymen, but there you go. I guess we all have more in common than we believe, and here I thought I was progressive enough already. Sarcasm (obviously?), but I'm new to Lemmy so I thought I'd make it clear, I'm always a bit paranoid about sarcasm when writing on forums and social media.
Hey now, don't be mean. This is what a privileged life in Sweden (I assume) does to you. Trust me, I am all but surrounded by these people!
"What, are you a socialist or something, so you want everyone to suffer equally, hehe"
I've been there, comrade. Maybe not quite that eloquent, but I recognize the self hate. I found help through supportive loved ones and therapy, for whatever it's worth, but I realize that might not be possible for everyone.
We all have a tough road ahead of us when we feel we're circling the drain. I hope you find some help, in what ever form works for you, but don't try at it alone if at all possible.
Not just rape, his first idea was strangulation. I'm so glad I am one of those left-wing extremists that don't fantasize about murdering and raping people. I feel so progressive and woke!
Considering this particular old English hero would support actual fascists for his fear of Communists, this quote is on par for him. He is truly one of the most misrepresented monsters in history. Yeah, he could drop some nice lines as an orator, but the death-toll in India and Pakistan alone is enough to judge this fucker harshly.
This logic is clearly too advanced for me.
