this talk is absolutely insane. the left and right synthesis playing out here is actual fascism.
I have a take that Candace Owens is just black mold in a human suit.
"Wow it's crazy that some people are awarded for speaking out while others are punished for speaking out" as if the act of "speaking out" should deserve universal praise regardless of whether the content is good or bad. Just so fuckinf stupid what is wrong with people, but you can tell she's a dupe because she went on this interview in the first place
the way mia drops these half thought out leftist talking points and candace immediately recuperates them into rightist talking points w no opposition :deeper-sadness:
what the fuck are celebrities on that they turn out like this?
Finding it empty and then going evangelical as a result in many cases (M.I.A and Kanye being just two recent examples)
Yeah Arular blew my mind when it came out but there's no way I'm doing self harm by watching that
Imagine the thoughts going through these people's heads when all of their mental defenses are down just before they drift off to sleep. That's the existential equivalent to Lovecraftian horror.
Boots Riley did a cover of Paper Planes with Tom Morello, just throwin that out there :side-eye-2:
man why can't based ppl bear based children (her dad was a Tamil activist who trained with the plo). See kamala and buttigieg for more examples
M.I.A was pretty based for a long time. But success brought her into an orbit filled with narcisstict music industry douches, unahppy marraiges to billionaires, money but clearly a lack of creative inspiration later on, and then an evangelical turn to try and make sense of it (I'm special, I'm chosen, but I'm not happy because I don't recognise it as a personla gift from god). It's a grim fucking trajectory.
