When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I love the word derivative as a pejorative for music, it’s the “looks like these things all came from society” of art critique

sorry for your lovely taste in both music and people

"Being derivative" is any entirely acceptable criticism of art. It's a sign that a piece wasn't able to do anything other works have done and done better.

using it alone with no other qualification or point of reference is lazy shorthand for “I didn’t want to like it and 30 seconds of exposure to it confirmed my belief”

was also one of the divas russia sent to eurovision right after the invasion of crimea to sing the song 'a million voices' about world peace. so i'm going to reformulate this: she can't betray you if you go into the pop-waifu relationship understanding she's state sponsored.

I can't really laugh at stuff like that anymore because of how many ardent communists, (most of whom were Stalinists condemned on false charges), were fed into a NKVD meat grinder accused of Trotskyism. Is that from the 1930s-40s? It's extremely reminiscent of Great Purge-era propaganda.

Yeah, it kind of seems like Trotsky wasn't so bad, since he played a pretty crucial role in organizing the Red Army. But Trotskyists are so often complete garbage, so it's kind of easy to dismiss him and his theories. You can make fun of stalinists for supporting weird third world dictators, but at least they do it in clear opposition to western capitalism. Trotskyists seems like anti-capitalists, but they support the foreign policy of their country, so gently caress em.

it's also one of the biggest failings of both liberals and conservatives in understanding/engaging with leftist theory, in that they think leftist theory simply amounts to "capitalists are bad people and so you get rid of the bad people, bing bong" and not 'the entire system is structured to be evil, the virtue of individuals is irrelevant'
