Another one, thanks comrade!

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

Yep! Just relaxing to me. I’m unaware of ideological reasons to not be into ambient, but if you don’t want to open that can of worms that’s fine!

Yep, that’s what I love about that album!

For post-rock, I guess I’d describe it as “much longer, textured, atmospheric, experimental rock.” Deathconsciousness is more shoegaze (think “wall of sound” like the second half of Hunter) than post-rock, whereas F#A#∞ is more standard post-rock. The shortest song on the album is 16 minutes, and the longest is 29. It really draws you in, makes you feel like you’re somewhere else. Repitition, long textured winding paths, almost droning.

What I personally love is that it’s extremely relaxing when the mood is right for it. I also tend to like ambient, my favorite ambient album being Brian Eno’s Music for Airports. They have different moods, but both are capable of taking my mind off things for their duration, or letting me focus on work I need to get done!

Looks absolutely terrible, like YouTube thumbnails as graphics.

I like these!

Oh shoot, act 3 is out? Missed that! Haven’t listened to the Protomen for years, but Calling Out is fantastic, thanks! Probably going to go through the whole discography again, haha.

That’s fair! I go through periods where it’s very relaxing and even uplifting for me, but I certainly couldn’t listen to it daily.

Cool idea, comrade! Lately I’ve been listening to F# A# ∞ , something about post-rock just helps me zone out. Also loving Deathconsciousness (CW: gore) for much the same reason, it’s oddly relaxing. I especially love the shift midway through the track hunter, which unfolds into a wall of sound with a calm voice in the background, anchoring the listener.

Y! Sounds fun!

Welcome! Lots of fun here.

Excellent!

They are trying to control which opposition exists, to prevent a socialist regime change rather than Zionist-compatible

Good luck!

I recommend replacing Blackshirts and Reds with just the 1986 speech then. I love Blackshirts and Reds but its utility is in convincing liberals that the USSR wasn’t an evil hellscape. For those of us here, it’s less usable and is more of a pleasure/anger read, it’s really cathartic and bitter-sweet.

Stay safe, comrades. May the empire and its vassals burn to ash.

That’s really sweet of you to share, and to say! I really like that drawing, it really gets across how beloved Lenin was and how gentle he was. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts, even if it was a “ramble” as you say they were still valuable to read. I don’t mind at all, and hope you have a wonderful day!

I don’t know if I would consider myself a “good agitator,” I stick with Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad.ml, and Hexbear.net, but some rules I try to follow:

1. Debate is largely useless, and most of the time people looking for one are unwilling to change their mind. Use that to your advantage, and treat their argument as a springboard for you to make a compelling argument to the audience, like Lenin with Kautsky.

2. Don’t let the hatred and slander of reactionaries get to you. They are almost certainly wrong, and you can discard their “critique” as a meteorologist would the opinion of a Flat Earther.

3. Try to speak only on what you know. Don’t argue for the sake of it, if you aren’t solid in your knowledge it will backfire. At best you’ll be misleading others, at worst a reactionary will catch your mistake and have a free soapbox.

4. Try to have a dialectical approach to education and knowledge. You can learn more via practice, and by seeking a multi-sided view. Don’t view yourself as an infallable teacher, but as a fellow student in a study circle.

5. Try to agitate among the most willing to hear new ideas. If it’s for Lemmy, agitate in communities opposing Reddit decisions. If it’s for communism, do so among disaffected liberals disappointed or outraged by their current conditions and seeking radical change.

I want to say that no amount of development is “wasted,” it teaches and changes us into who we are today. We do not exist outside of that context, even if things don’t work out the way we want or plan. Hope that helps!

Excellent work!
