You are part of a group that has all the advantages, that advantage is very often the oppression. You can't help it, you as an individual can't do that much about it but it exists

That website you quoted has this as it's last paragraph (and conclusion)

There is no such thing, its a fiction invented by right wing imbeciles. It's just an expression like Right on! or Very PC of you! or more specifically with Stay Woke, keep being aware of injustice. The idea that it has a philosophy behind it, is as silly as there being a philosophy behind Don't let the bastards drag you down or Keep on keeping on! I can show you ludicrous articles that refer to wokeism as referring to critical theory, Derrida and Foucault etc. Really? a word whose origins are in African American vernacular from the mid 20th century has its roots in 18th century political philosophy? Its a ludicrous notion. Used the way you've used it, it is most definitely a pejorative term Please spare us the oppressed white man nonsense. Its just the white lives matter stupidity again There we go again, more use of the pejorative woke and now you're even equating it to be non-white. Why wouldn't white men agree that they are part of a group that oppress other people, white men in most western societies really do have all the privileges

Yep, fairly incendiary, energy, passion and a crowd of people pogoing in time to music, saw them a couple of times at the Brum Odeon and recently went to see the current version (i.e. Jake Burns and some musicians) and he was still good value running through the hits EDIT: thinking on, I probably saw them a few times in Liverpool at the Royal Court too (definitely the Bruce Foxton version at least twice)

Thats the drone factory if we're splitting hairs

Idles - Tangk As someone who wasn't particularly a fan of their over shouty previous output (but liked the idea of them), I find myself listening to this a lot these days Nigel Godrich's influence on the production definitely means its something I listen to in the house whereas with their previous stuff I really wouldn't have. Big tick from me for this album, I see it as a complete step change for them

Russia has send conscripts to Ukraine, some have died, some have been captured. You keep saying it hasn’t happened despite posting articles that say it has. Russia has admitted this has happened. You don’t send conscripts to the frontline in error. Not only that but when Russia did mobilize 300k men with “military experience” how do you imagine they got that experience? Essentially they were conscripted a second time. Most of them didn’t volunteer

It really hasn’t. Where did that bullshit come from? Russia has even acknowledged that this isn’t the case and Ukraine have taken many conscripted men as POWs

Do you have a link to the peer reviewed paper where this was proved? As I might just want to tell them they're talking shit

Sadly it’s an advertising stunt, a good one but nonetheless completely staged by Specsavers, they have been put in a few cities, there’s one in Liverpool right now, the bollards are false and the van is held up by a metal frame. /killjoy

Yeah I don’t blame you, I already had quite a few so only had to buy a couple

Originally released in 1979 on Hitrun, Adrian Sherwood's pre On-U Sound label. The third Creation Rebel album - Rebel Vibrations, not released on vinyl since then until this week. I think this is the first AMS production to feature Style Scott on drums and percussion along with the usual CR crew of Crucial Tony, Lizard Doctor Pablo etc. It kind of hints at the masterpiece that was to follow Starship Africa (also rereleased for the first time in many years this week)

Seeing the Small Faces Tin Soldier reminded me it isn’t even the the best song with Tin Soldier in the title (I like both songs btw)

Whilst the movie was crap, it certainly got lots of publicity. I'd also wager that if it was released after 1980 it would have faired much better at the box office. By 1978 no one really cared about The Beatles in the UK, they were an artefact from another era. The Mod thing around 79 and Weller gave them a new minor audience but only specific albums like Revolver from the psychedelic era really and even that was relatively low key. For sure musicians still talked about them and were influenced by them but the punters had moved on to Bowie and all the 70s icons, I’d even wager by the end of the 80s The Who were more popular (Quadrophenia / Mod revival / The Jam) and possibly even the Small Faces. Then along came Mark Chapman and it starts to very slowly blow up again but even in the early 80s McCartney was still releasing desperate desperate records like the Frog Chorus which I doubt he’d have done if The Beatles were as big as they are again now.
