are you part of one of those orchestras that to stay afloat contracts out to rock bands that want to create an "orchestral" version of their music so you get, like, the guy from KISS performing "I Was Made For Lovin' You" to a full booming classical orchestra in the background?

because that is amusing to me and the poor musicians who get roped into that i'm sorry

Name dropping babbies first classical to own the libs. I mean if you're gonna use film composers, at least use someone like Johann Johannsson who at least has some cred as a modern classical composer apart from his film scores (I'll fite anyone who doesn't love him).

Edit: originally quoted wrong post

I like Glenn Gould.

How far back does this go? Do comic opera composers get to be classical, or is Rossini pop?

I don't get their whole thing because every time I tune into it at any random time of day, it's always classical music which I don't give a poo poo about, but it's better than more interviews with klansmen about why they support trymp

yeah, it was part of the bigger dark enlightenment rebrand away from swastikas and towards polo shirts.

not sure who was behind all of this. potentially spencer since he has deep ties to arktos. but the new alt-right groups in america all started trying to emulate the european new right and then failed at it.
i was thinking about that again and just how creepy it is that there's this older dude (probably an old skinhead) driving these young identity evropa guys around in a white van. then they take pics and are like "hey kids!" on social media trying to lure in youth. these guys are such creeps but it says something about their organization -- how they have these older guys behind the scenes who don't show up in the pictures. it's my attitude that these groups are basically like little mafias and everything they do is trying to manipulate the audience somehow.

i dunno what it says about me that i'm interested in this stuff but i think it's like how some people are fascinated by serial killers i suppose. not as in fans of serial killers who write them prison letters, but people who read true crime novels and watch cold case files. have a friend who loves that stuff, though i never found serial killers interesting. they just gross me out and give me the heebie jeebies. same with horror movies. can't stand them largely.

anyways if you have an axe to grind with somebody i can't help you :shrug:

that's the MO of generation identity, who never would have been stupid enough to let Cville get out of hand -- they would have done the blood and soil tiki torch thing and then peaced out in white vans. they protest every once in a while but most of their appearances are highly staged and located in areas where they won't receive much opposition. they do PR stunts, they don't fight on the streets. one of their most popular tactics is to roll around metro areas in unmarked vans, have their members get out and hand out pamphlets, take photos to post on social media and then leave to go to the next location before antifa can even respond.

they're also helped out by the fact that they have women in the group and also the men don't look like they have strong opinions about animes.

Mandolins were used in baroque music ffs, ages before bluegrass came around. Gibson's Lloyd Loar was making instruments for classical musicians.

all im sayin is like, it had a resurgence as a meme lately and yes, it's dumb as poo poo but I see people post it all the time and theyre not secret nazis.

theyre cops, i dont need to get out my fash dowsing rod to search for hidden symbols to know that theyre right wing.

the upwards facing ok sign IS now a white supremacist symbol, having been meme'd into existence, but I've never seen altright types pose any other way than facing up
Yeah, the point isn't to defend cops, it's that there's a pre-existing dumb joke where you make the OK sign near your crotch and then if someone notices it you accuse them of staring at your dick, I think? That was the only reference my boyfriend knew when I told him about the white supremacist thing sometime last year. And he's a pretty online guy ... at least more so than probably a lot of redneck southern cops would be.
