laetitia sadier rules - similar to kate bush and her conservative beliefs - why do a musicians views politically really mean shit when they rule so hard

it's still disappointing

i don't believe in black and white "cancelling" or kneejerk shunningi reserve the right to be personally disappointed by people when they reveal themselves to have repellent beliefs
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 2 August 2018 20:11 (five years ago) link
sure it is disappointing
but the culture of take down and kill your idols is shite

My 2 cents is that she's always been more of a crackpot than a deep political thinker, but she got a pass because her views tended to align more to the left. She's still a great artist, and I'm not planning to light my Stereolab collection on fire over this.
Also, it may be interesting to discuss, but I'm not sure it was so important as to require several different thread revives.

As I said on the other thread, maybe do some research on Living Marxism/Spiked/Revolutionary Communist Party and this current turn of events will come as no great surprise.

Rosie Cuckston is one of 'them' too - they are almost a cult.

That's OK, lots of Morrissey fans feel the same way about Mozza.

She's tweeted anti-feminist spiked articles before, she's been going that way for a while

always interesting when successful women decide to become anti-feminist once they've gotten successful.

interesting or disappointing depending on your perspective i guess
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 2 August 2018 21:19 (five years ago) link
yes I meant disappointing obv
there are pockets of this sort of thing in my musical circles and it's always mysterious to me. I'm fb friends with the fellow who is Fuxa and he's a liberatrian as well. He keeps his politics offline though thankfully though one of his friend started threatening me out of the blue one day for being a libtard.
― akm, Thursday, 2 August 2018 21:23 (five years ago) link
don't really gaf about this. it is funny to read all these dudes declare she is not a feminist now as if that matters at all.

What's the gist of Peterson? Trying to work out in my head what on earth Sadier would see in him.

This might be my most frequently revived thread. (I was posting here way back in 2003?) Amusing that it has now led me to read waaaaaay too much about someone who says "social justice warrior" with a straight face.

ha yeah that's what came to mind for me too. seems like sadier is more of a crank with jumbled political views whereas moe tucker is someone at trump rally wearing a 'lock her up' t-shirt.
― iatee, Sunday, 5 August 2018 14:40 (five years ago) link
I’m reading the wiki article on Jordan and he doesn’t seem that controversial and detached from Sadier’s views?
The way I interpreted his controversial views is that all these political correctedness is meant to divide not to unite and to have people fighting against their “oppresors” which is people in your own community instead of looking up at the real enemy.
Also his counterargument againsr bill c-16 is about the dangers of making political correctedness have legal repercusions. Rather than spreading hate he seems to be concerned about how this supposed unity is actually spreading hate by pilling up people who don’t share my beliefs as enemies. The reaction to his opposition to the bill kind of proves his point?
I know it’s all iffy but I can see Sadier taking his beliefs as the people fighting the people instead on focusing on the real enemy above them.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 5 August 2018 15:34 (five years ago) link
I mean I don’t really agree with his points but I’m trying to have a pipe dream and see what Sadier sees in his work.
