  • Lmfao bro you’re ridiculous. We are missing MULTIPLE chunks of the conversation.

    And no it’s not racist to say someone is wrong just because they’re part of a marginalized group. I think it’s incredibly arrogant of people to speak on behalf of of other marginalized groups like that, and yes they get pretty racist if you go too far down the “we know what’s best for you and your people” path, but to just walk out and say “you can’t critique them that’s racist” is ridiculous to me. And if that’s not what the conversation is saying, who can blame me for reading it how I did? We’re missing half the damn conversation. But apparently that doesn’t matter to you?










  • Did you just gloss over “then you need to change the law”? Maybe even my entire comment?

    At no point did I ever say laws should guide our morals. I’m saying you don’t codify laws you don’t intend on following. Your slavery example is an irrelevant cheap shot that we both know does not reflect my position. Hell it’s not even relevant to yours. It’s an entirely different discussion on whether laws = morality when it should be our values informing our laws, none of which is the discussion af hand.

    You said murder should be illegal but that you still condone it in some cases as you believe it’s the only effective solution. This is the discussion at hand. If you have special carve outs where you’re allowed to ignore the law based on your personal whims then the law is meaningless. You must alter the law or your stance, your two stated views are contradictory.








  • This ratio has been true of music forever. We have always depended on filters to get to the good stuff. Used to be access to recording studios (hence labels fucking everyone), then DJ’s setting taste (had its own problems). Pick a period of time there’s always a group or economic filter separating wheat from the chaff (not perfectly but generally successfully?) which makes it hard for independent/lesser knows to break through.

    Now everyone can record and publish easily, so it’s about finding shortcuts or tricks to game the system and get ahead. Or, as always, just get lucky 🤷‍♂️
