I wasn't giving him a pass, wtf? Dude sucks. It IS very interesting because it makes NO sense - Stereolab are one of the most well known / successful Marxist band in history, right?

behind Richard Marx

god who fucking cares? Jordan Peterson is a dumb asshole. Sadier has a Bad Opinion. Stereolab still rules.

Otm

well, I guess we know the future of Stereolab now

stereolobster

"Don't we all know the dangers of two conflicting viewpoints? An active troublemaker fanning the flame of dissent...so aggravating"

^lyric was intended as irony for those who didn't get it.

stereolab is to mumford and sons what jordan peterson is to morrissey

Morals are for the blind, not the critical mind
Morals which don't even tackle the real issues
Moral Which seek intervention and control
Morals which don't even tackle the real problems
Morals that just seek control over our lives

(the latter in reference to: https://www.thecut.com/2018/08/jordan-peterson-carnivore-diet-mikhaila-meat.html)

It's alright 'cause the historical pattern has shown
How the economical cycle tends to revolve
In a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
A slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more
Bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
Huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery
Don't worry be happy things will get better naturally
Don't worry shut up sit down go with it and be happy

Pretty sure her Marx ship sailed once she started doing Red Bull events.

That's a dumb thing to criticize a working musician for tbh, still gotta live/eat in the world as it is

Yeah I mean this is a pretty common thing for artists as they age - becoming conservative - but I don’t remember any indication at all that Laetitia did that.

Also who found the tweet lol

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 shunning
i reserve the right to be personally disappointed by people when they reveal themselves to have repellent beliefs

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.

otm

xp it is counterproductive
that is why i drew the distinction

thanks la lechera appreciated

RED bull dys

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.

Or just read some Stereolab lyrics.

Looks like not many of their fans have.

Am I the only one who doesn't know who this Peterson dude is?

tom, i dont care.

assumptions are not really a great standing ground

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

Looks like not many of their fans have.

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.

Can't leave ladders lying about, dangerous.

interesting or disappointing depending on your perspective i guess

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.

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.

kinda want to make a Stereolab-style song w lyrics from this thread

interesting or disappointing
can't leave ladders lying about
dangerous
depending on your perspective

lol good one

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

he blows minds by defending hegemony

in the voice of kermit the frog

important point

a muppet in more ways than one

he believes that all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds as long as we leave mediocre white academics in charge of it

Stereolab + JP both profitably recycling old German ideas

ILE thread if you want - The Jordan Peterson Thread

white male academics, because women are the root of all evil, because folklore iirc

also the movie frozen is draining our children of their precious essences or some shit

god yes men, lot of stuff about men.

connection to Spiked stuff via "concern for women and blacks is ruining our communism"
