Was/Is Morrissey Racist?

Ahahaha, okay, that is brilliant.

Morrissey is in a superposition of racism and non-racism and if we make a measurement we will collapse teh wave function

“That’s the key to modern Britain … only the mentally castrated are eligible for praise and awards. It’s against the law to be intelligent"

“Everyone ultimately prefers their own race”

For the last decade, Morrissey has sought to undermine the sacred cows of the progressive left, which is why he is relentlessly attacked by the media.

But he remains one of a rare breed of music industry celebrities who these days is virtually extinct – an authentic individual who refuses to self-censor to please the authoritarian hate mobs that control popular culture.

The interview is bad enough as it is, what's this bollocks doing underneath it?

The author is a psychopath who tweets as @PrisonPlanet. Go ahead and have a look if you like.

this is the incorrect thread to post this in

please use the correct thread

Morrissey is a racist

lol @ Stew illustration, pisces

"If borders are such terrible things then why did they ever exist in the first place?"

This pullquote on the Prison Planet excerpt is barely a hint of the galaxy-brained content in the actual interview

sam:
Why don’t The Guardian just have you killed and put an end to it all?

M:
I think that’s their eventual intention. Be patient!

sam:
Why haven’t any legal moves been made against The Guardian?

If I suffered physical harm as a direct result of the Guardian’s tyranny, you can imagine cheers and champagne exploding through their offices… it chills the blood.

sam:
I can’t think why I would ever buy a newspaper!

unsourced reporting, including personal interpretation of another's actions, is such a scourge:

The so-called Officer (Raffaele Barone) was threatening me with a gun and breathing very heavily …. crazed, darting eyes … which I assumed to be a medical condition.

Are you actually a supporter of UKIP?

M:
No. Never.

sam:
Of Nigel Farage?

M:
No, no, no … but it’s obvious that he would make a good Prime Minister … if any of us can actually remember what a good Prime Minister is.

tbh this would have read as a good joke in Morrissey's pre-1989 intrview persona:

Someone made the point the other day about David Bowie’s famous “England would benefit from a fascist government” comment … and his admiration for Hitler … and how Hitler was as stylish as Jagger … and how the UK needed a “complete right wing leader”. Could you imagine if I’d said THAT! Now, of course, I sat privately with David many times, and he wasn’t remotely fascist… although it has been said that he’d visited Hitler’s bunker.

You also knew Lou Reed for awhile?

M:
Yes. He was a lovely person. He had a great smile which he almost never used.

sam:
I promise this is the last time I’ll mention The Guardian, but I laughed when I read how they criticized you because of your white privilege! Obviously, I know your life, and there’s been no hint of white privilege… white disadvantage, if anything!

Why do you think successive governments support the idea of dead animals as human food?

M:
I think … it’s because … successive governments receive support and cash and sponsorship from pharmaceutical companies and farmers associations, so therefore governments are obliged to repay them. The idea, I think, is to keep people unwell, sick, or dying, and the best way to do this is to convince them that fat slices of sheeps faces are good for you. If the human race looked after itself and didn’t eat pigs’ noses then pharmaceutical companies would perish. In the USA, most people die because of animal consumption, but it doesn’t ever seem to be a concern to the government because of … it’s good for business to keep people on medication. The food industry has destroyed the truth about what food is.

sam:
You also sang with Sameer from Young The Giant … I’m sorry, I can’t pronounce his surname.

...the modern fourth wave feminists… who are too selective about what offends them.

sam:
for example?

M:
well, they ignore FGM in Bradford, for example, yet they make such a fuss about the Hollywood casting couch… which has existed since 1904.

Are you constantly torn between this gemini hard strike and soft stroke?

M:
It’s a good question.

good luck to the guardian's squad of assassins

"It’s against the law to be intelligent"

Which makes Morrissey about as law-abiding a citizen as exists on planet Earth.

I saw the Lou Reed interview on Elvis Costello's chat show, he smiled a lot and was a pussycat. So Morrissey was right for one time.

And this thread should be locked, by the way.

Don’t know whether to laugh or cry at all that, so I’ll just laugh at his misfortune.

My three albums with BMG have been the best of my career

laugh at this. it's genuinely hilarious.

Oh yeah those three albums, what are they called again? Just For Having an Opinion, SilencedandAn Exile in My Own Land, right?

I'm not sure if the most appropriate reaction to this is "lol" or "fucking lol"

https://media2.giphy.com/media/3o85xIO33l7RlmLR4I/giphy.gif

Just for being English, these days

massive fucking lol

if every label you sign to is an asshole, then maybe you are the asshole.

I think stirmonster may be onto something

#1 Scotland, #3 Britain

LOL, what a fucking idiot.

‘You have given me no choice but to tattoo this giant swastika across my face.’ – Morrissey in a few weeks, probably.

#1 Scotland

Scotland's shame!

lol of course it's gonna be cancel culture that caused it

moz strikes me as the type of guy who absolutely spends a shitload of money wasting time in the studio like it was still 95

Any time Morrissey spends in a studio is waste - of time, money, resources, good will, oxygen etc.

superfluous "in a studio" there

haha yeah i just meant budget-wise he strikes me as a guy that doesn't curtain his plans to reflect sales that are not what they once were so i'm sure BMG is just sick of dumping money into it, but he'll play the "woke culture" joan of arc now

He's bitched before, when between labels, about prospective deals not offering salaries for his band members, and therefore he must spurn their offers until Someone Serious About Music finally Does What's Right.

Years and years ago my sister threatened to get a Morrissey tattoo, and I remember suggesting to her that it would probably be a really, really bad idea.

I'd love to know which American chart he was number 2 in.

piscesx otm, I'm curious too. wiki says it only hit #44 on the independent album chart.

XP Barnes & Noble Heatseekers

Was it this one:

(I know it’s not an American chart, please let me have this)

talk about a heatseeker debut

Seriously Hot Shit

He's also somehow managed to invent an album chart for Scotland, separate from the rest of the UK, to be No. 1 in.

loooool djp

xp. it's possible that they collect that data somewhere though?

No. 1 in the Bristol stool chart and I believe also No. 1 in the Stormfront hot 20.

Scotland does have it's own album chart but i am sceptical he got to No. 1.

Sydney Devine and Fran & Anna kept him off the top spot.

couldn't find the historical data for the scottish chart, but this is the full uk chart history for his last album:

https://i.ibb.co/gSzKVbq/dog.jpg

i.e. 1 week in the top 100

"But officer, you don't understand! 'Morrissey I Am Not A Dog On A Chain Peaking At Number 3 For One Week Only' is the name of my dog!"

xp. if you believe the fake news media, nick

It would seem he was correct and has actually had multiple no. 1s in Scotland.

BRUTAL!
