      Yeah but it’s supposed to be like “Chuck D and Anthony Blinken are making a partnership to make US music to serve the goals of capital democracy”

      Or “The DOD was airing propaganda to undermine people in the Philippines taking the Sinovac vaccine and so they were dying”

      Everything Trump says is authoritarian. It’s like playing Stairway to Heaven at the music store. You could just link to his whole twitter and be done with it.

        It’s all authoritarianism.

        These people are authoritarian. The ones engaging in authoritarian acts do it constantly. Because they’re authoritarians. See what I’m saying? Yeah, trump is in the news more. But all of the people in that orbit are always engaged in authoritarianism because their beliefs align with abusing a portion of the population’s predisposition to craving powerful individuals. The ones we don’t hear about as often because there are fewer newsworthy things they do aren’t more concentrated authoritarianism because they haven’t been watered down by constant media attention. Like, small batch authoritarianism isn’t better than the mass market stuff.

        So…they’ve started a musical duo in this scenario? 😄
