I legit think this postmodern mindset is going to make the alt-right insane, like, much more than they already are.

Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:I legit think this postmodern mindset is going to make the alt-right insane, like, much more than they already are. It's tempting to hope this, but in the meanwhile, postmodernism has been as fortuitous for the alt-right as modernism was for National Fascism under Mussolini. The alt-right loves Mussolini. This is the funny thing about how cavalierly many liberals will compare Trump to Hitler. The alt-right doesn't identify Trump with Hitler, but with Mussolini, a figure who is prided purely because he advanced a model of far-right politics which was neoclassical, rejecting biological racism in favor of a 'pragmatic' nationalism, which is more than ready to embrace individuals - superficially - of any race, religion, or creed, so long as they assimilate into the sychophant cult of the nation-state.

Mussolini, and Italian fascists in general, didn't care nearly as much about Jews as their German counterparts did. The Fascist party even had Jewish members. Antisemitic legislation in Italy only came into existence due to pressure from the Third Reich. Oswald Moseley's British Union of Fascists took it's influences more from Italy than Germany and as such didn't emphasize antisemitism. At least not for those Jews who were established and integrated the ones who had more recently immigrated and still had more of their original culture were of course seen as a threat to national unity. This lead to the BUF being called "Kosher fascists" by some of the other far-right groups in Britain.

Couldn't Coppola just sell a couple bottles of wine to pay for it. Find it annoying that the upper middle class and millionaires would use crowd sourcing. You have money and connections.

You have money and connections. Actually, this is a pretty solid use of crowdfunding. I kind of like the aspect of letting the public participate in the making of something rather than it being just be fronted by big investors.

They name check Pillars of Eternity and Wasteland 2 as games the developers had worked on, and both those kickstarters ended up with games that were pretty close to what the majority of backers expected, so depending on which developers from those projects and what their level of involvement is, it could be decent.

Every so often I remember that Welcome Home isn't meant to be like an evil monologue sung by an evil prince from one of their concept albums, it's the main Coheed guy whining about an actual girlfriend who dumped him while the band was on tour, and I'm like... does my man have a lot more self-awareness than I'd give a prog metal singer credit for, or even less I'm leaning "more" right now but either way it makes the song even goofier

Thank you Chapo Trap House for giving me one thing to look forward to on a Trump regime and that being him attempting to deliver the State of the Union.

So even though it's 'prog rock,' we can still make an emo song about symbolically killing his ex-girlfriend.

As if my love for Henry Cavill wasn't big enough from MoS and Beavis, he's amazingly charming in Man from U.N.C.L.E. That movie is pretty delightful overall but Cavill is just bringing all the suaveness of Bond with none of the rapiness.

Slugworth posted:I've never looked into the official storyline, but in my mind the first 3 albums (never listened to later ones) are about humans waging star war on God. How close did I get? The Amory Wars is set in Heaven's Fence, a collection of 78 planets held in place by interconnecting beams of energy, known as the Keywork. The first half of the story narrates Coheed Kilgannon and Cambria Kilgannon's struggle against Wilhelm Ryan, the Supreme Tri-Mage (later referred to as the Archmage). The second half of the story focuses on the heroic journey of their son, messianic Claudio Kilgannon. Over the course of the story, Claudio assumes the mantle of The Crowing, foretold savior of Heaven's Fence. In the end, he will face the Archmage, absolute ruler of Heaven's Fence and the one ultimately responsible for the death of Claudio's family.

Someone should make a prog rock album where all the songs are about sniffing glue, getting in fights and burning poo poo but are still at least 15 minutes long with elaborate mandolin solos and symphonic xylophone interludes . Then make a sequel album that's all punk but with lyrics that tell a really elaborate sci-fi/fantasy story but the songs are max 2 minutes of screams, howls and 3 chord guitar riffs so distorted it sounds like the amp was broken.
