I suppose I’m a left-of-center liberal who flirts w/ anarchism & libertarianism. Thr’s a lot of alt, electronic, exp’tal, & “world” music I like. I’m working on fan-fix-tion for The Handmaid’s Tale and Star Trek.

DMBFFF@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•FBI: Trump target of apparent assassination attempt in Florida12·10 months agoThis is why golfers should be able to carry assault rifles at golf courses and Trump rallies: they too should have a fighting chance against assassins.

Black people didn’t initiate wars in Iraq, Vietnam, the Holocaust, or Gaza.
The GDP of American blacks probably exceeds many European countries.
Probably millions of blacks have Phds.
I don’t think I’ve heard of this before:

It’s also sad.

“They’d blame the flag.”

DMBFFF@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•What does the post-DNC future look like for the Uncommitted movement?4·10 months agoThere is no “post-DNC” future.
The 2-Party State lives on.
Vote for the lesser evil.
Palestinians are doomed if they stay in Israel: they should leave, and make way for those who fund the pro-Israel lobby.
DMBFFF@lemmy.worldOPto Music@lemmy.world•M.I.A. - Born Free [punk rock/alternative rock/electropunk/noise rock] (2010)English1·10 months agoYou’re probably talking about bands I hardly know if know at all. They exist, but I don’t think most are prominent.
We have Green Day, which might have said little in the 1990s. We had RATM, that endorsed Sendero Luminoso, a murderous group of Communists that murdered about 30 000 Peruvians: mostly indigenous peasants. We had Avril Lavigne, bless her, for whom “sk8er boy” was some kind of weapon she used against female rivals.
Along comes M.I.A. with Paper Planes and this song.
Green Day and Eminem attacked Dubya long after it mattered.
She is endorsing Trump a bit after it matters: Kid Rock has far more to answer for.
I don’t like her endorsing Trump, but for me this is forgivable given her better past.
DMBFFF@lemmy.worldOPto Music@lemmy.world•M.I.A. - Born Free [punk rock/alternative rock/electropunk/noise rock] (2010)English2·10 months agoYes, and her music isn’t exactly punk.
What were your favorite punk artists doing in 2000s?

DMBFFF@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Celebrating at the DNC in a Time of Genocide4·10 months agoSo 40 000 innocent Gazans will be killed for the greater good.
DMBFFF@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Celebrating at the DNC in a Time of Genocide1·10 months agoI support Ukraine, but FWIW I don’t think Russia has killed 40 000 Ukrainian civilians these past few years, and many of the soldiers who died were former civilians who were conscripted.
DMBFFF@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Celebrating at the DNC in a Time of Genocide1·10 months agoEven if you convince enough people to vote third party that Trump wins, does that help Gaza? No, it makes the situation worse.
In the short term, yes, but when the next Gaza occurs—and if history is any guide, there will probably be another Gaza—the Democrats will think twice.
Besides, in 2020 if 1 million Californians who voted for Biden instead voted for Trump, the 55 EVs would still go to Biden. Presumably if any self-identified “political progressive” in California votes for Harris, wt:thon will probably be voting out of ignorance. Ditto, say, one in a very red state.
DMBFFF@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Celebrating at the DNC in a Time of Genocide10·10 months agoHey Americans, don’t vote for 3rd parties that oppose the mass murder in Gaza, because in the 2-party state, voting bad is not as bad as voting worse.

Just keep talking.
