Charli XCX makes pretty good music but no idea how anyone could not get sick of this shit after a week. Music will continue to get worse as long as there's no clear distinction between the marketing behind the music and the actual music. It's all for effect.
It comes with a shirt that says "I read the Will to Change by bell hooks please date me"
You really cannot underestimate how deeply ingrained marriage, having children and buying a house are into the average people's sense of how life is supposed to be lived. Add onto that the fact that our society is structured (or at least used to be structured) in a way that turned that way of life into the only "sensible" one. If community building outside of traditional family structures is an impossible thought, what else is there to life outside of those structures? Even if your marriage is disfunctional or even hateful, it still gives your life structure in a way that in our current society basically nothing else can.
Being able to take a step back and look at those structures and institutions not as god-given or obvious is an ability that the vast majority of people simply do not have.
I totally get the bitter reaction a lot of people have to modern art, the banal "i could have done that", which really means more "i don't get how some people can fill their lives making these useless and unproductive things that don't even seem to require technical skill but i have to work 40+ hour a week and if I'm not productive i get fired and can't pay my rent or eat". But if you want to get anything out of it, and there's a lot you can get out of it, which I know from personal experience, you need to rise above that first reaction of bitterness (although it's obviously something you should keep in mind when interacting with any sort of art).
It's obvious that the democratization and proliferation of art that modern artists tried to bring about didn't happen, but the fault was not in them for trying to imagine a different future. Once again, it's capitalism that squandered and misused any of the potential modern art has had.
It literally fucking did wtf I was banned for telling some carbrained journalist to choke on an exhaust pipe
The 2x spicy ones are so much spicier than the "2x" would make you think, can't imagine the 3x spicy ones could possibly be any fun and I say that as someone who very regularly eats spicy food
the height of the Soviet Union (mid 1970's), less than 1% of households (not less than 1% individuals, less than 1% of entire households) owned a car, and less than 15% of long distance transport of goods was transported via road.
We need to go back
yeah lets really hope we don't have many althussers in here
infinite under communism, finite under capitalism
Biggest media thing in the world and you deliver such a weak ass fucking trailer? There's no oomph to it at all, random ass shots just thrown together, like something someone would throw together for a demo reel for internal use at some project meeting
what if my takes are simply too visionary and far-reaching to be understood by someone as stupid, uneducated and uncurious as myself?
