I wasn't giving him a pass, wtf? Dude sucks. It IS very interesting because it makes NO sense - Stereolab are one of the most well known / successful Marxist band in history, right?

god who fucking cares? Jordan Peterson is a dumb asshole. Sadier has a Bad Opinion. Stereolab still rules.

Morals are for the blind, not the critical mindMorals which don't even tackle the real issues Moral Which seek intervention and control Morals which don't even tackle the real problems Morals that just seek control over our lives

It's alright 'cause the historical pattern has shownHow the economical cycle tends to revolveIn a round of decades three stages stand out in a loopA slump and war then peel back to square one and back for moreBigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recoveryHuger slump and greater wars and a shallower recoveryDon't worry be happy things will get better naturallyDon't worry shut up sit down go with it and be happy

That's a dumb thing to criticize a working musician for tbh, still gotta live/eat in the world as it is
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Thursday, 2 August 2018 20:05 (five years ago) link
Yeah I mean this is a pretty common thing for artists as they age - becoming conservative - but I don’t remember any indication at all that Laetitia did that.Also who found the tweet lol
― flappy bird, Thursday, 2 August 2018 20:07 (five years ago) link
laetitia sadier rules - similar to kate bush and her conservative beliefs - why do a musicians views politically really mean shit when they rule so hard
― eris (Ross), Thursday, 2 August 2018 20:08 (five years ago) link
it's still disappointing

i don't believe in black and white "cancelling" or kneejerk shunningi reserve the right to be personally disappointed by people when they reveal themselves to have repellent beliefs
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 2 August 2018 20:11 (five years ago) link
sure it is disappointing
but the culture of take down and kill your idols is shite
― eris (Ross), Thursday, 2 August 2018 20:12 (five years ago) link
My 2 cents is that she's always been more of a crackpot than a deep political thinker, but she got a pass because her views tended to align more to the left. She's still a great artist, and I'm not planning to light my Stereolab collection on fire over this.
Also, it may be interesting to discuss, but I'm not sure it was so important as to require several different thread revives.

As I said on the other thread, maybe do some research on Living Marxism/Spiked/Revolutionary Communist Party and this current turn of events will come as no great surprise.

Rosie Cuckston is one of 'them' too - they are almost a cult.

Or just read some Stereolab lyrics.

assumptions are not really a great standing ground
That's OK, lots of Morrissey fans feel the same way about Mozza.

She's tweeted anti-feminist spiked articles before, she's been going that way for a while

always interesting when successful women decide to become anti-feminist once they've gotten successful.

interesting or disappointing depending on your perspective i guess
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 2 August 2018 21:19 (five years ago) link
yes I meant disappointing obv
there are pockets of this sort of thing in my musical circles and it's always mysterious to me. I'm fb friends with the fellow who is Fuxa and he's a liberatrian as well. He keeps his politics offline though thankfully though one of his friend started threatening me out of the blue one day for being a libtard.
― akm, Thursday, 2 August 2018 21:23 (five years ago) link
don't really gaf about this. it is funny to read all these dudes declare she is not a feminist now as if that matters at all.
