I didn’t know he was at the level where he’s excited to talk someone about why mail in ballots and climate change are fake.

When I met Pink at my local here in Amsterdam a year ago he just seemed like a deep (acid?) fried, insecure yet intelligent dude. Friendly enough. We have a couple of mutual acquaintances in common but I never got any overt MAGA vibes from him. Kinda shocked.

THIS GUY! He once was a hero of mine. Now i wanna kick him in the face. His face is bullshit!

Adding to the "not shocked, but sad" crowd. Had kind of given up Ariel already; there's been too many red flags the last couple of years. I'm more surprised, and appalled, at Maus going full MAGA.

Not surprising.Didnt he do that KK glam record a while back?

I hopped off the Ariel Pink bandwagon many years ago, but hoped John Maus wasn’t as much a moron as he is.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka)
Yeah, Ariel Pink has been clearly a dickhead for a long time, but I really thought Maus was better than that.

I mean, fuck Pink, he’s been a scumbag for years. Extra galling for him to tweet “vote for Trump” AFTER the events of yesterday. Super fucked up, even for him.

that's about the explanation i expected from maus, basically saying "i was just observing"

i hear you. but i think youre missing the big picture. there are no moderates anymore on the left. the moderates have fled the party. pelosi is moderate and even she has capitulated to pressures within her own party. BLM is a good example.— Ariel Pink (@arielxpink) January 4, 2021
nixon ended the vietnam war, opened up trade relations with China (in hindsight, perhaps not the best move) and yes, he stepped down with grace and dignity when the watergate scandal broke. a good president overall, imo. though not as good as trump— Ariel Pink (@arielxpink) January 4, 2021
really? is that where you are going with this? you know the KKK were Democrats, right? you know that the president who ended slavery, abe lincoln, was a republican, right?— Ariel Pink (@arielxpink) January 4, 2021
i dont refuse that biden won-He won-no argument there. Problem is--biden WON- which means its Game Over- dems are under a delusion that US will improve, rather than implode-if georgia goes blue- USA wont make it summer— Ariel Pink (@arielxpink) January 3, 2021
the economy was doing great just prior to covid. clamping down on illegal immigration is for ur benefit. tough on china is for ur benefit. middle east peace talks and for years not at war-for your benefit. covid vaccine and relief was for ur benefit.— Ariel Pink (@arielxpink) December 31, 2020

I'm just waiting to see what he has to do to finally get the majority of the hipsterati to despise him. short of actual crimes I'd rather not joke about (yet honestly wouldn't put past him if he's a junkie), I feel like it's gotta be vocal support for alex jones or some shit. or gamergate.

Really bummed about John Maus. The red flags were there too (e.g. https://pitchfork.com/news/john-maus-speaks-on-involvement-with-canceled-alt-right-adult-swim-show/ ) but he also had songs like “cop killer” and “rights for gays”, but I’m thinking he was being ironic with the latter, reading the lyrics under the revelation that he actually shares alt right ideologies makes it disgusting.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 7 January 2021 16:36 (three years ago) link
I really hope Pitchfork's article about them today is the last time they give either of them coverage, tbh. Would love to see Pink's next album to be greeted with the response that Ryan Adams' "comeback" album got.

I've known his name for years but never listened. I clicked through three or four songs on Spotify this morning; it was some of the worst shit I've ever heard. I'd say I can't believe ILXors actually listen to this garbage, but I absolutely can.

I used to adore his music but his misogyny has mostly ruined it for me at this point. Everyone who's pointed out that the MAGA stuff is in keeping with his whole contrary asshole schtick is otm. I'm disappointed that I gave him a pass for as long as I did and for not being more critical of Maus by extension. Makes me wonder about Jorge Elbrecht, too.
