Pro: artist speaks up for Palestine
Con: it’s Macklemore so you still can’t listen to his music
deleted by creator
Best approach to music tbh
You’re not gonna pop some tags?
I just listen to his songs about Palestine like Hind’s Hall and ignore the others. :P But I also have never been one to faithfully listen to an artist’s music as a whole. I grab bag music and mainly orchestral.
If you want to listen to a good rapper who makes music about Palestine, you can listen to Lowkey
i saw a tiktok saying this and the comments were all saying that his songs were good actually so now i don’t know what to think
Omg that’s me
Inshallah 🙏

Have a great week, everyone! Hold your heads high.
As always, communism will win.
Thanks Cowbee. I will continue to hold out and improve. You have a good weekend as well.
Thank you Cowbee!
Seeing an anti-socialist popup table at my campus and having to repeat “don’t feed the trolls” in my head repeatedly
🫵 You WILL persist, comrade.
Greetings lemmugrad, and glory to Yemen and Ansar Allah.
Where’d you get the image in the post? We hear so little about socialist Laos in Western media.
It reminds me, is there any news of high speed rail being built in North Korea? I can’t wait for the day North Korea gets HSR before the USA California HSR is finished.
One day we will be able to ride HSR from Vietnam and Laos through China into North Korea. The world’s best train trip of socialism.
I got it from an article on there national day parade last year
Very cool flag! Where is this?
It is in Italy
People in my study year are legit 17 and I feel like an ancient person sometimes. Their mentality is shit!!!1! (It is though).
Also, the amount of right wing bullshit they spew already is worrying.
Do they have a job? I feel like the left-wing mentality can’t really take hold until one becomes object of exploitation.
That might be it. Though this is The Netherlands so racism in white men is mostly the default setting sadly. Especially here in the south.
Yeah, but you are also literally a communist now.
Please don’t do the whole “I didn’t say or do such stuff at my age!” or worse “I went through a lot and I turned out okay”
It’s embarrassing after a while ;_;
I was a dumb centrist at that age mostly. Everyone has to learn, of course. But I do feel like things shifted from a more centrist approach to having racism normalized. I can’t imagine hearing the shit I hear now in school back when I was their age.
I agree about racism being normalized.
So much “racial” (read: racist) humor now.
-_-
78th Anniversary of the Communist Youth Org of Venezuela!
Love to see it.
How to tank your career masterclass feat. Ed Sheeran
i think people assume he’s irish cuz he’s a ginger and has an accent but no he’s english so it aint surprising 💀
The thing that makes me laugh most is him saying “I’m not complicit.” So he is recognizing there is a crime being done against the Palestinians but he is insisting that silencing people speaking out against the crime does not make him party to the crime. He is admitting he knows what he is doing is wrong.
I loved when he said many people close to him felt threatened by free palestine, pretty much telling he is very close to zionists.
From what I understand the “I’m not complicit” thing is specifically about Macklemore being booted, not about the genocide. I may have misunderstood though
I walked out of my lecture today because my professor is just spewing a bunch of anti-migrant bullshit (on a topic regarding human rights and labours). There is a part of me that knows it’s wrong to do this. Not in the sense, anyone have to hear racist nonsense but because in part, because I feel like I am performing liberal moralism by turning away from how people like that professor can end up influncing others rather than facing it head-on. Yet, I still feel weak and rather unprepared to tackle this.
In what way do you feel too weak to respond to or tackle it?
I lack the courage to stand up to it. Alot of it is because I fear it falls into deaf ears nor do I have the appropriate sources to bring up to challenge it.
Well, I guess you can keep growing, reading and learning so that you can speak more confidently in future.
But I think of it like this… morality is something you don’t necessarily need to study for. We should aim high for morality and how we live as a species. When people accept what they see as lesser evils to bring ‘order’ to this world, it’s because they have a weakness and the inability to imagine and fight for a just world without humans harming each other.
I’m in the UK and have a friend who has intellectually supported Trump over the years because “there’s nothing better and we need to sort this world out” etc. etc. You know, “he’s a little bit far out there but at least he will shake up the system” type stuff. But he’s also religious and looks up to saints of the past and I told him, why not have those standards, or at least standards where you’ll get behind merciful, kind people who want to share, etc.
So, its your professor’s weakness because he’s too scared to try to make a kind world. He’s unable to manage his fears over ‘foreigners’ and people who might have different viewpoints or interests. He wants to jump straight to attack. Tell him that he’s weak!
I hope you all have a nice week :D
You too, Oppo!
