  • I think economics play a factor: access to quality instruments, production equipment, traditional training. The monied music ecosystem with all these resources at it’s disposal doesn’t quickly hand them out to people making art without an overwhelming passion for monetizing it.

    but, additionally, I think your take might just be based on your subjective taste. I was introduced to anarchist politics by punk music, not pushed away by it. There’s probably a feedback loop of people having similar experiences and going on to continue to express anarchist thinking through the art form and community that introduced it to them.

    The obvious solution is you have to bear the responsibility of ushering in a new anarchist subculture by actually producing good music for us to listen to. Maybe we’ve all just been waiting for you to hit the scene


















  • Propaganda efforts large than we can imagine operating for decades. How has the rural poor identity morphed from union men and worker solidarity to backing military and police? It got too dangerous and they stomped it out with myths of foreign adversaries. I’m of the mind that we need to reach across political lines to overcome this, we can’t allow them to split the country evenly in half or we’ll be in a deadlock forever that just lets them do what they want. It can seem herculean but there are shades of it when a CEO is killed on the streets or a bunch of politicians work together to protect pedophiles; political identity fades and it becomes more obvious that it’s us against them

    Also a lot of the most disenfranchised are kept from voting at all. Either they have to work, polling place is too far away and they don’t have a car, polling place getting changed, don’t have a permanent address
