The most perfect conception of Maynard James Keenan is that he named his kid Devo H. Keenan where the H. doesn't stand for anything, except that it's also in the phrase "Jesus H. Christ" because he is, like, the platonic concept of being full of poo poo.

I only started really getting any kind of idea of the feminist / trans / alt-right 'rational' discourse on Youtube very recently, and watched the discussion video where she talks to some TERF named Meghan Murphy and ContraPoints in succession. The whiplash from how she talked in the discussion versus what i see her post on Twitter was insane.

I was a big tool fan in the 90s (angsty teen) and some of Undertow and Aenima still hold up well if you like prog metal but Maynard was always a libertarian bordering on objectivist so I don't see how its any surprise that he still holds bad views as the only thing that's changed from then to now is he's gotten older and richer.

My solution to Tumblr is like my solution to the alt right . Its to build what could be called "character building camps". Preferably in northern Alaska there you can learn what really matters in life while seeing what real actual oppression looks like. These camps would be free of course.

Yeah the thing I've had with Tool (among other bands) is that the music isn't necessarily bad but the musician is such an insufferable dingus, and so many of his fans unsurprisingly follow suit.

Some good discussion in this thread. I think the fundamental issue is an eternal one: the oligarchy, once constrained, have chiselled away their shackles over decades, generations and now rule unfettered from the concerns of the public. That's why we hear an endless parade of propaganda instead of honest discourse and why, no matter what, the legislature only stabilizes the system that benefits the oligarchy and reinforces it through the expansion of the police state. Society isn't ignorant that our institutions have been hollowed out but, without sincere dialogue, education and subject to the most advanced propaganda ever created, we have fractured into countless radicalized circles spread not just throughout the country but the expanse of the internet as well. Divide and conquer, it works.

This particular segment is highly relevant to what has happened to the United States:

3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpFmzkxd-HI

If you want to understand what's going on in the USA today you would do well to read about the Roman Revolution. I'm not sure if it's Obama or Trump who represent the Gracchus event, both were elected as populists seeking to overturn the establishment while actually acting as its personification, but I feel that we've started down a steep, steep hill.

What's that saying: the glory is in the struggle?

Also he's a prepper and wants a world-threatening event to happen so people will snap out of their lowly status and band together, although left unsaid and fortunate for him, this world-threatening event wouldn't affect him as much because he's rich.

In addition to being a famous rock star, he will tell you about his winery and an oyster restaurant. Now would you like to try some of my delicate wines...

If the people do wake up and organize, he realize they're going to be organizing against people like him, right?

he's referencing how many of the scholars initially associated with the 9th century intellectual renaissance of the first Caliphate, promulgated by Haroun al-Rashid, were mathematicians and litterateurs from the caliphate's Persian and Afghan territories, invited to the capital by the Caliph rather than ethnic Arabs from the imperial heartlands

Lost Enlightenment is a decent pop history book on the subject
