Former UKIP member Rob Ager shifts away from his usual content making dumb movie analysis videos and focuses his attention on politics. This won’t be too bad, right? Ehh…
Video: https://youtu.be/umVQpAer1BU
These chapters are pretty wild:
I think Ager is my new favorite type of guy where his political “positions” are this:
BONUS:
“There are songs from the past that I no longer feel comfortable singing. I love ‘Run Like Hell’. I loved the music I created for it, but all that ‘You’d better run, run, run…’ I now find that all rather, I don’t know… a bit terrifying and violent.”
That’s the point of the song, Gilmour! You worked on the album! lol
The guitarist added: “‘Another Brick In The Wall’ is another one I shan’t be doing. I don’t think I’ve done that with my own band, but I certainly did it in the post-Roger Pink Floyd, against my better judgment. The same with ‘Money’. I won’t be doing that.”
He probably unironically believes the things Money is poking fun at. lol

David Gilmour has vowed that he will "absolutely not" ever perform with his former Pink Floyd bandmate Roger Waters again.
> In a new interview with The Guardian, the ‘Wish You Were Here’ singer shut down any kind of optimistic ideas that he would potentially reunite with Waters. “Absolutely not. I tend to steer clear of people who actively support genocidal and autocratic dictators like Putin and Maduro [president of Venezuela],” he told the outlet.
> Gilmour continued: “Nothing would make me share a stage with someone who thinks such treatment of women and the LGBT community is OK. On the other hand, I’d love to be back on stage with [Pink Floyd keyboardist] Rick Wright, who was one of the gentlest and most musically gifted people I’ve ever known.”
Gilmour is so washed. Sure, the guy can sing and play guitar, but it’s so funny he seems to fancy himself a better all around musician, songwriter and activist than Waters. Dudes a lib through and through, he apparently doesn’t even know that Waters has signs up at his shows that say “Fight the Patriarchy” and “Trans Rights”.
I do hope they vote out their leadership since workers were allowed to cross the picketline to help load military weapons.
"I was in Nicaragua with the Sandinistas. I've argued for Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu-Jamal, the United Farm Workers. I've been a radical for a long time. I guess it's too bad. I'd be more marketable as a right-wing redneck. But I got into this to tell the truth as I saw it."
Wild that you’re comparing revolutionary optimism to self help books. I’ll have to let Fred Hampton, Mao Zedong and Ho Chi Minh know.
“The most immediate antidote to nihilism is revolutionary optimism. Revolutionary optimism isn’t rooted in a blind hope that change will come at some unknown point in the future. It is cultivated by the acknowledgement that only through participation in the struggle to liberate the people can the lives of the people be transformed. Revolutionary optimism is bolstered by a deep curiosity in and knowledge of the history of class struggle. Social change is treated as a science, one with distinct properties and elements that are both inevitable and profoundly dependent upon the actions taken by the people.”

Lotta lib comments here so I’ll reiterate again: REVOLUTIONARY OPTIMISM IS ESSENTIAL!
Really funny that people here are bashing JT’s video considering the positive work he does educating and encouraging people to join orgs and be active.
For those who don’t know, Beau of the Fifth Column is a fairly popular “leftist” YouTuber who makes videos sympathetic to power under the guise of radicalism and about a month ago he decided to step down from his channel due to being “overworked” with his wife taking his place. I find it very interesting he decided to do it around the time his history as a human trafficker has started to really gain traction in online spaces. The two can’t POSSIBLY be connected, right?
Nick Cave has pushed back against calls for BDS and cultural boycotts of Israel, saying they punish fans, not governments.
Musician who knows nothing about politics, talks about politics, more at 11
Yes! It’s actually their most watched YouTube upload.
Also relevant clip: https://youtu.be/Qivd6BGT73o
Respectfully disagree with the mods decision to delete this. Equating Hasan with AOC is an ignorant statement to make due to evidence of him being far more radical than her. Thus any attempt for me to reply to their argument in good faith, I feel, is tainted from the get-go.
Remember when BE labeled himself a journalist? What happened to that?
Now I know for sure this is BE
lol
What? lol
I’m not even a rabid follower of his stuff and like I said in the OP, dude’s not perfect, but he isn’t nearly as bad as people talk about.
Found BE’s alt
I don’t take issue with him because he’s constantly attacking the dems, raising money for Palestine, was a guest on the Deprogram, and straight up said in a recent stream that “the revolution won’t be voted in”.
Even Hasan would agree with this analysis lol.
That being said, he did say in a recent stream that “you aren’t going to vote the revolution in” so I’d say he’s more then a “treatbrained streamer”.
I'm the unserious one?
Yes. Why would I waste the energy trying to respond to you when I know you’d just reply to it in the worst faith possible.
Hasan is just following in the footsteps of AOC
Deeply unserious lol
Like someone on here comparing PSL to trots.
Dude just loves riling himself up into a frenzy, doesn’t he? I guess he was mad that Hasan was going to interview Obama, which never even happened, and now he thinks Hasan is a “genocide supporter” because a random YouTube clip he came across that said “Hasan supports Kamala’s policies”, which he never even watched and was most likely just clipped. Hasan isn’t perfect, but fuck, you think at least him going to the DNC as a journalist would be considered fair from BE. Wild.
What "incomplete information"? What sources do you want? Twitter links? lol
Get over yourself. Even if I gave you what you wanted, you would come up with another excuse and another and another. All to prove you were right in deleting my post.
Also getting too close to a fence is flimsy justification for peace policing. Not like people were advocating violence or even property destruction from the evidence in this post.
I mean…
This is an activist who was on the ground.
[I originally posted this in chapotraphouse, but it was deleted for being “pro-cop” even though that very much wasn’t the case. (I believe PSL was actually involved in organizing the protest if I’m not mistaken.) The mod that deleted it openly broke the sectarian rule too.]
Been seeing a lot of people hating on what the protest marshals did during the pro-Gaza protests at the DNC and I feel they definitely did the right thing. Instigating stuff like going up against the cops under the guise of “revolutionary” action just gets a lot of people arrested and doesn’t accomplish anything.
EDIT: Users who were present at the protests have said, counter to what is claimed in the screenshot, that the protest marshals did NOT call for the police. Thank you for clearing this up, comrades!

Not surprising I know, but I’ve noticed that this appears to be the final straw for a lot of people.
I know I’ve expressed dislike for the guy in the past, but seriously? I thought for even something like this, he would at least have a good take on it.
Robert Schneider, frontman of Apples In Stereo and producer of In The Aeroplane Over The Sea has just released an A.I. album and his takes on it has got to be some of the worst I’ve ever read especially when he tries to use both math and the passing of his late friend, Bill Doss from Olivia Tremor Control, as justification for why he made the album and why A.I. is good. Here’s an article for context. The author, Schneider’s friend, at least doesn’t like A.I. at all: https://superjews.substack.com/p/can-ai-generated-music-have-a-soul?triedRedirect=true
"Perhaps the Dems CAN win Florida lmao," one social media user wrote.
lol
I understand why it isn’t used anymore, but for the sake of posting and reaching more people, it needs to come back.
