Covidiots in music

Just listened to that Ian Brown song and it's definitely "masonic lockdown" imo which is straight-up David Icke conspiracy nonsense. Fucking cretin.

Dr Evil, and his needle

I'm sorry but that is hilarious and I am having that.

Ian Brown was trotting out gay mafia-type conspiracy theories 20 years ago, he's got form for this sort of thing.

Sorry to bring politics into ILM

LOL

List seems pretty multi-generational to me, tho I don't think I've seen any new/relevant artists take this stance yet.

I do wonder why this is. Could it be that the RJDs, Noels, and Vans have far less to lose at this stage of their careers? Tough to imagine a younger, up and coming artist potentially committing career suicide by expressing these opinions (though maybe Kaityln Aurelia Smith fits the bill? I don't know, haven't seen the evidence she is a Covidiot))

my acceptance of them is based on my own heuristics for determining truth and value, so at that point I don't feel it's acquiescence to a top-down dictum at all but rather personal responsibility.

this is pretty much my position and the objectively sanest approach imo

Angel Olsen shared a link to Plandemic on her instagram stories

really?! she usually shares BLM stuff, seems properly well-read and researched about that and voting rights, LGBTQ stuff, women's rights and such.

Woof this Ian Brown song is really embarrassing, even without the lyrics

really?! she usually shares BLM stuff, seems properly well-read and researched about that and voting rights, LGBTQ stuff, women's rights and such.

It is one of the great fallacies of our time to expect people who have good political views to have good views in other domains (or for that matter to be good people in their personal lives)

lmao

can someone under 40 translate that please

i'm under 40 and no i can't

My guess is that she's blaming Instagram's video player.

the new "I was hacked"

Her dog posted it.

Jesus built my instagram

Jello is finally wearing a mask now, but earlier...

he could lose more teeth in street fights

always a thoughtful and nuanced take from jello

I'd be really surprised if someone was pro-BLM, etc. And then turned out to have anti-mask/vaccine opinions

Have we had a thread where we come up with conspiracy theories that are at once wildly fanastical but could hold just enough sway over people that they might believe them?

The pandemic is a political issue, shouldn't be but it's the world we live in.

How could it not be a political issue, in any world?

tech n9ne did a concert that was not distanced

Jello looks spitting image of Colin Mochrie up there

anvil, everything's political an' all, but I do think that if this had exploded a few decades ago it wouldn't have been weaponized for culture war purposes to the same degree to the extent it has

No, but there'd still be debates about what the right thing to do would be, even without culture war weaponization

If this had happened a few decades ago, when remote work & distance learning would not have been possible to nearly the extent they are now, my guess is that the degree of economic & social disruption (and probably # of deaths) would have been greater, and the public debate would may have been even more intense in certain ways.

I'd be really surprised if there weren't plenty of people who fit this description.

There literally are!

The Jill Stein libs for one

A former colleague of mine fits that description, partially because he's a conspiracy nut in general. It's been sad watching him spiral into COVID-19 related paranoia, culminating in an outburst against Facebook and YouTube for "choosing what I can believe" when they took down the debunked conspiracy videos he wanted to share. Very. Very. Sad.

Sure, but that's different from the "corona? lol!" attitude most of the artists discussed here are taking.

Browny mate, I already admired you for your music, attitude, outlook and haircut... and now your approach to all this nonsense with the "pandemic". Right on King Monkey!! 👌✊

Brown nose

It is becoming increasingly obvious why Danny Rampling is often referred to as Danny Dumpling.

I have a feeling DJ Qbert may be on the Covidiot spectrum.

yeah, i saw some recent crap re q-bert that made me question his groove.
however, seems like he has done some back peddling :

ok.

It is becoming increasingly obvious why Danny Rampling is often referred to as Danny Dumpling.

His Instagram Stories are wild.

He's also shared a video on there that claims the forehead temperature checks are actually a ploy to condition people to having guns pointed at their heads and that the infrared from the thermometers are irradiating people's pineal glands.

don't do drugs, kids
