Stupid idea (lemmygrad.ml)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml to c/music@hexbear.net

I’m a zoomer and I’ve probably got ADHD, and I’ve read my share of theory, but I understand why it’s hard for some people. Would it be a good idea to intertwine music with political education? I like genres that try to fill my insatiable appetite for stimulation like nu-metal, hyper-pop and phonk. I feel like a lot of overtly political music can come off as cheesy and not one’s kind of music, so it might appeal to some people to incorporate other genres. Might it keep people’s attention more to say have nightcore Engels? What if we just put some bass and distorted guitar under an audiobook. If people don’t have the attention span for that maybe a phonk beat for a banger quote?

Would anyone else be interested in working on this or see value in it? I currently lack the hardware and skill, but I could learn.

Maybe with some Marxism, I know Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a thing. Either way, mental illness is my current fixation, and I’ll read anything half decent on the topic. Maybe not too long idk (I’m not planning to go through the DSM). Free pdfs or audiobooks appreciated.

All I remember is he comes after Freud, some of his followers are annoying, there’s a Marxist podcast that likes him called ‘the return of the repressed,’ and I don’t think Lukacs liked him.

I got a keyboard (lemmygrad.ml)

I reluctantly took lessons when I was little. I still remember stuff like C scale and for the most part how to read sheet music. Any advice for picking it up again? I mostly want to play rock music on my own.

I have way too many photos (9.9k), mostly memes, mostly which I will never see again. I have way too many musical artists in my library. For a long time I added practically every song I heard (and more albums from the same artists). All of this is on Apple. Is it worth going through and purging it (especially when the internet’s dying anyway and who knows what infrastructure we’ll have in five years or more)? Any advice for de-appleing for someone whose hyperfixations do not include computer nerd stuff?

I’m reading ‘The Emperor Has No Clothes’ and that’s what it sounds like. Hemp is the best thing for making textiles and plastic and paper; It’s better medicine for a ton of things than most pharmaceutical drugs; Its seeds are one of the best foods; and it grows fast anywhere. It’s an old book and I haven’t checked the many sources, but is it all true? I know you can get psychologically dependent on smoking weed, and I suppose it could go invasive (though people could just use it when it does), but I’ve only eaten the seeds - is there any other caveats? Why don’t I see more about China and Russia using it? Is it possible to try to grow in a city in the US (guerrilla gardening?)? Also, I’m wondering if edibles or whatever make it worse. I know there are environmental problems with growing it indoors for THC.

Edit: I forgot to mention the reason why we’re not using it is because the industries that would be taken over by it (plastics, pharma, etc) got the government to ban it under racist pretenses.

I live in the US, btw.

This is what you get when you constantly promote zizek.

Edit: there’s a reason why marxists don’t use hegel’s dialectics

Ereader suggestions? (lemmygrad.ml)

Almost a year ago I bought a pocketbook with buttons. It served me pretty well for the constant bugginess. Then a few weeks ago it froze and I tried everything I could think of to get it to work. Days later my damn cat peed on it to spite my other cat. The company won’t reply to my emails. I’ve given up on it, but it would be nice to have an ereader again because of the books I started and don’t feel like reading on my phone or computer. I could just buy something off AliExpress, but I want some advice first. Any recommendations?

The test is meaningless. You’re just as much a commie in “libleft.” You have to be racist or chauvinist to get in the auth quadrant. The scales and values aren’t coherent.

Deep prolewiki/Lemmygrad lore.

TLDR: some Hoxhist who spent a lot of time trying to bother us.

Hamas is just like the original “Indian savages” who “unprovokedly attacked settlements.” “Terrorist” is a slur.

“Do you support Hamas?” Is an insanely biased question which should not have been chosen considering Hamas is not the only liberation organizations, Israel’s war is on the Palestinian people as a whole, not just Hamas, and most people probably support Palestine but have been agressively propagandized to hate those “terrorists.” Nonetheless, glad to see my generation is so based.

Socialism or barbarism

No, it wasn’t the worst famine in history, and Mao didn’t personally cause it. China had horrible famines every few years for Millennia, the fact that it happened once under socialism can’t be attributed to socialism. China hasn’t had any famine since, so historically Socialism has done a lot to end famine.

AOC is AOC for zoomers, Greta doesn’t have any power and there’s still some hope for her.

There are other decent figures who are younger. Vijay Prishad is only 55. We’ve got everyone in the revleft podcast family. In addition, more zoomer centered figures like the deprogram people and hasan.
