The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

On to another issue that is about the PC brigade but is also metal related...

Stumbled across this crying cunt of an article the other day.

While it has been a couple of decades since Metal Hammer was anything of any merit, I had to chuckle at this writter trying his best to be "woke as fuck".

 "This broad acceptance of Pantera's comeback would be understandable if Anselmo had spent some of the past seven years atoning for his actions. Yet he seemingly hasn't."

Jesus wept...

Thankfully nobody cares about this shows are all packed and the only thing I know of that they were forced out of was Rock Am Ring. I saw them in Berlin about two weeks after they were suppose to play that festival. I was worried before going that it might get cancelled but nobody even tried.

I want change immigration policy to prevent other peoples scraps occupying houses and eating up money.

Well if they're in a EU country then currently you cant stop it. Just as you or I can go and work/doss in any other EU country. Now I firmly believe we're better off with the EU than without it, for all its faults. But I would favour a scheme where if you come here and dont work you get kicked out. Not initially as you need time to find work but after a year if you're contributing nothing then off with ya.

As for the occupying houses. Yes the influx of Ukrainians has come at the wrong time. But the lack of housing ain't on them. Its FF/FG and their fucking useless policies on housing for the last 20 years that have fucked us.

Irish and British benefits are unusual in that they facilitate long term unemployment. You're only entitled to what a local is in the EU. If there's no public housing available you're not getting one. Tying welfare to stamps could get some of our own bozos off the couch and out of the pub too. They are already about to allow a higher rate for the recently unemployed. A lower rate and a cut off date at the other end would be advantageous.

[Ollkiller]

There is a problem with long term unemployed in this country all right. And maybe a lower rate for the ones who wont work after a certain period. Wouldn't be in favour of being cut off as that only raises more social problems in the end.

[hellfire]

Its drastically in need of reform anyway. It was designed for times when you could have been long term unemployed through no fault of your own.

[astfgyl]

It's an acronym from Engerlish prisons: not on normal courtyard exercise. The paedos would be let out separately or they'd be rightly fucked.

I'd rather think they'd be wrongly fucked, a la the lad getting snookered in love/hate

[Carnage]

I haven't seen that but I'd imagine it's unpleasant. We'll go for the jagged knife sodomy from American Me. Ouch.

Same guy has declared that the Download headliners is just what metal needs.

Maybe this should be in the "Are We All Fucked?" thread.

We're in the 80s part two. No lessons learned.

These moral crusades just give publicity to their chosen targets. Like the PMRC did. If they had any idea about some of the more controversial underground black metal acts for example, they would be traumatised.

It's the same thing that happened in the 'video nasty' era, all that happened was that more people wanted to watch those movies.

It's an interesting thing to think about. Similar to the 80s with regards to the amount of pearl clutching going on (often over ridiculous things), similar to the 60s in that the main dissenting voices are from the left (was right in the 80s), and unprecedented to both because we live in the age of social media, which has the effect of making the outrage self-perpetual. It doesn't feel just as heightened now as it did a few years ago, but I wonder how long it's going to take before everyone settles down and just moves on from two deeply divided sides constantly at each others' throats?

[Eoin McLove]

Yep, it's so utterly predictable when every issue, whatever happens, becomes a right vs left argument. You could set your watch by it.

[Kunt 4 Life]

Yesterday I saw Kesley Grammar was trending. Oh no, has he died or has he been found with lots of child porn? Or at the very least, touched a ladies bottom back in 1987 on the set of Cheers?

No, it was because of a BBC interview were he said he supported Trump and was behind his 2024 bid.

Cue all the outrage in the replies how they'll never watch Friaser and it was shit espically the new one and how is career will now be over etc.

Whether you are a fan of the orange man or not, to go crazy and demand a boycot of someone for having a different view screams a little like facism and nazism which is kinda what these guys are accusing Grammar of being. I wonder if they imagined a celbrity who supported  Sleepy Joe was getting the same stick from the public, would they laugh at them?

One reply said something like 'and he even supported Brexit, what a cunt.'

100% Ireland is a haven for absolute lazy cunts. No bothers swanning in from abroad, get a gaff and welfare and not even bother learn the local language. So many problems with this. Fair enough someone who can't work obviously

[astfgyl]

The craic with the Bangladeshi family arriving into Belfast from UK (iirc) and heading to the South and getting a gaff that same day after an appointment with ipas seems to have bothered a few of the locals. Have to be careful around the details there though, in case it's not the proper story. Anyway whether it is or not, it has made some locals unhappy
