CoolCab posted:i really can't stress this enough It's literally just liberals mad that a black man had the audacity to speak out and disagree with their paternalistic "we know what's best for you" bullshit. I mean yeah, Killer Mike has said some conspiracy theory poo poo, you don't need to make up dumb poo poo, look at Reagan and the bit about being under surveillance for spitting the truth about that awful bastard. And yet, there's plenty of examples in history of artists who have been put under surveillance for similar things. "Just because you're paranoid doesn't meant they aren't out to get you" & all that.

Dead Prez and Immortal Technique have all kinds of conspiracy stuff in their lyrics too, it's not that they're cranks, it's that conpiracism is a good reference point for how hosed up the world looks from ground level and how powerless and paranoid people feel.

And while we're talking about good socially conscious hip hop like Dead Prez, Immortal Technique, Killer Mike & Chuck D, shout out to The Coup who are my favourite Marxist rap group. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Jun 24, 2017 |

I mean Immortal Technique's heart is in the right place and he is right on about a lot of things, but being in a crowd as they chant 'Bush Brought Down the Towers' to his song was a little weird

I am late as hell to the game - I'd listened to some bits and pieces on youtube strolls, but it wasn't until this song I said "wait this is loving phenominal". I must have played it back on youtube maybe 200 times in the first two or three weeks I'd found it. since then they're probably become my favorite act producing music right now.

forkboy84 posted:
Yeah, I don't think that specific example is like "people are actually spying on me!!!" like a conspiracy theory instead of just referencing incidents like that, and how the state apparatus is often used to monitor radicals. I'm sure he has some dumb opinions - they were big into Jill Stein during the 2016 elections for example, and the US green party is nutty as gently caress- and I'm not intimately familiar with his entire political outlook, so I'm sure he's got some things I'd call crazy. But describing him as a "crazy conspiracy theorist" is not consistant with what I've heard from him/read about.

TBH I think a fair selection would enjoy it. Not the "being hit with sticks" thing, though many would probably like that, but I think there is a certain class of toff that doesn't work all that much that would enjoy it. I also think that the queen would probably enjoy it to.

Night10194 posted:One thing I'm not quite certain I understand. Is Corbyn for or against Brexit? I know he wants a less insane version of it than May, but is that more out of 'This is probably unstoppable at this point let's try to make a softer landing' or what? For. Both the Tories and Labour are pro hard Brexit.

Pissflaps posted:For. Both the Tories and Labour are pro hard Brexit. That seems to no longer be a generalised case. From my brief reading it seems as if they are more in favour of different things in regards to Brexit. Freedom of movement is the big one that divides Labour I suspect. But the truth is that Brexit remains a poisoned chalice that ages all political parties that drink from it horribly like the false grail in Last Crusade.
