I cannot stress enough the absolute coolness of what these two dudes are doing, from a music nerd’s standpoint. Like the multitasking is out of this world; e.g., in the beginning where the drummer playing this very straightforward bass line on the keys and maintaining that sick drum pattern at the same time. And the syncopation in the rhythm, how they maintain that through the song.

Like it is a shitpost, but it’s a high effort shitpost. I always find myself coming back to these guys for a good laugh, but I’m laughing with them because it’s so incredibly cool.

Fuck yeah 🤘

Until then at least we have clown core

Disappointed that this isn’t a real band 😞

Unironically tho this song is so meaningful to me, as someone who feels driven into being a recluse:

You could have all you wanted
Sing
You could build it all from nothing
Sing to me
You can live a life alone
Sanctuary
But you can never call this home

No but I’m used to it 😆

Absolute win!

If by “party” you mean “snuggle up in bed and do computer stuff” then yeah I’d like to party 😶‍🌫️

*Hundreds of weird anarchists western leftists of all stripes

See you in exactly six years when this meme is relevant again 🐸

Yeah that’s how I played Fallout 4, with the TTS voice mod and about 100 other brain-destroying mods. That’s what it took to make that game fun 😆

We have lots of power, comrade - power to choose who we assemble and organize with.

We absolutely do not have the collective power at scale at the moment to see things like Catalonia and Ukraine happen, i.e. anarchism at large scales. I did not mean to suggest that anarchists are individually powerless or even have no collective power. My point was really to comment that the effectiveness of early 19th century anarchism was due to both good principles and collective power. At least the way I read it, the meme seems to imply that modern anarchists are ineffective because they are crybabies, a take which I resent because it conflates anarchists correctly being more sensitive to bigotry against marginalized groups than anarchists of the past with anarchists being crybabies, while neglecting the simple fact that anarchism as an movement is more fringe today than it used to be.

That’s how assholes in irl anarchist spaces are dealt with - choosing to not associate or work with someone who would do you or the community harm.

Okay but what if the person you choose not to associate with absolutely refuses to leave your otherwise freely associated group alone? Eventually, you escort them out as a last resort because that person is violating everyone else’s freedom to dissociate from them.

There is a lemmy “anarchist” that reports my posts even in non anarchists spaces because they don’t like what I have to say about America or voting instead of just using the block button.

Oh okay. Yeah that’s annoying. What the fuck kind of anarchist supports AmeriKKKa?

Block button should be your first line of defense instead of appealing to authority to get your way.

Mostly agree, but there are absolutely times when nagging people to get someone banned has been the right call, simply because of the technical structure of Lemmy and the Internet. Like a couple months ago, I basically contacted all the main admins on every instance to get one user blocked from most communities because they were actively going into trans communities and posting transphobic bullshit to disrupt them and trigger their users.

Like the block button is good if someone is being mean or saying stuff that is just offensive, but it’s not a good response to actually oppressive language. In that case, it’s just choosing to ignore oppression, which isn’t very anarchist 🙂.

Yeah because the internet didn’t exist in 1925 and you could physically toss people out of a space without moderator approval. If you started being (edit: enough of) an asshole in 1925 anarchist spaces, you would 1000% get kicked out. Also anarchists just don’t have the power or influence that we did back in the 1925.

Like a dead Elon?

We shouldn’t be paying them anything except a bullet in their backside.

No u

Every country does it so that makes it okay /s
