Fair enough though. Wouldn't want to get AIDS or something of him.

Even as a screaming lefty myself, this whole "cancel" thing is beyond the beyonds to me. It's a generation of younger people with no self awareness who take everything literally and have no critical thinking. they're as bad as the boneheads and conspiracists they rail against. Also the hilarity of this anti racist tiktoker being called Serena "Trueblood"..sounds like a fucking Stormfront username.

There's a rapper called Slowthai who's mixed race, and who wore an anti nazi tshirt on stage at a festival recently which had a Swastika on it (the context of the shirt was it had the word "DESTROY" plastered over the offending symbol) - and even with it being a blatantly anti fascist shirt he still got "cancelled" by the teenage twitter ninja turtles. These people are absolute fucking idiots. Who will of course be massively conservative/right wing by the time they're in their mid 30s anyway.

Metallica should be cancelled for going with the mastering job on Death Magnetic (etc......)

And God help us all when they shift to the right. In the absence of religion these morons have pretty much invented one. It comes complete with original sin, dogma, hatred of unbelievers among others. What it lacks is redemption or any sort of forgiveness for transgressions.

This is far left university indoctrination that the 'conspiracy theorists' talked about for years now coming to fruition. Anything and everything is racist.

Heard people talking about the Woodstock documentary being good. I remember when it happened in 99 because my aunty only lives about 20mins from the area the festival took place in and I spent the following summer over with her. I decided to watch it last night was only about 20mins into it and already they started trying to make a DMX song that the crowd was singing back to him into a race issue when in fact it was a pivotal moment both for DMX and rap music at the time. Everything nowadays is just poisoned with this bullshit.

Yeah, that's the HBO documentary that really pushes that kind of narrative. The more recent Netflix one doesn't have that angle.

Oh so two different versions exist I wasn't aware of that. Yes the one I watched was the HBO version unfortunately I don't have Netflix so I will have to wait until that version comes onto my IPTV.

The Netflix one is just out this week. I thought it was a far more palatable and balanced watch.

The stuff micko)) is talking about there ruined the HBO one. Totally forced. Without those bits, interview sections with moron talking head journalists, it would have been the better of the two. The Netflix one is... pure Netflix.

I found the way they tried to hang Fred Durst in the HBO one was cuntish and said fuck all about RHCP coming on and playing fire. You have no idea how much it pains me to say anything in defence of Fred Durst or Limp Bizkit.

Netflix the same though, no critique against RHCP.

Weird no one from LB interviewed in either, despite them talking about it in the Metal Evolution episode about nu metal about 10 years ago. Also, in that episode, it's Jonathan Davis who totally hangs Durst. It's worth revisiting for comparison. Out of the organizers, yer man Michael Lang mainly seems like a dope, whereas the John Shur guy really comes across as a total dick.

I can imagine the sound of gritting teeth as you typed that

Seems the cancellers won't get you if you're a satanic band (unlike the 80s or 90s). Or underground. There needs to be gatekeepers now more than ever, wimps and posers leave the hall etc etc.

When did being young in a first world country turn into a political crusade?

Wait until they read the three or four Shakespeare plays I'm proper familiar with and blacks and 'moors' are 'deconstructed'.

The hatred of Israel and the equally zealous defence of the semites may save The Merchant of Venice'
