>With Bernie Sanders in the States and Jeremy Corbyn in the UK beginning to offer concrete alternatives to the capitalist status quo, Radiohead run the risk, in their lack of support (thus far) for these figures, of appearing as merely another band of self-important celebrity spokesmen.

Why is anyone involved with music completely retarded when it comes to politics?

Like look at this pitchfork article, this guy is saying that there are correct opinions that a musician should have like its their duty.

Look at how Radiohead have also been attacked for playing in Israel and the implication that it's some sort of white supremacist thing when Jews aren't even white.

And then look at Thom Yorke's twitter feed and he posts cassetteboy videos and banksy and says some cryptic stuff like the o w l s r e t u r n t o t h e s o i l while linking some independent.co.uk article about how the russians did pizzagate

Why can't musicians and music reviewers shut the fuck up about politics, their brains are too saturated with estrogen for deductive reasoning and they operate purely on what signals good taste and even if you agree with their general political position you can still see that they arrived at it in a really stupid way.

>beginning to offer concrete alternatives

It never becomes less depressing to see bandwagon-jumpers imagine that the world began when they noticed it. Those men have been offering concrete alternatives all their lives, what changed was people's willingness to listen.

youre entirely right but honestly politics are so tiring and musicians are so incredibly daft so often that I just listen and dont follow anything else. i dont care and i get the feeling as time goes on that they really dont either.

also i stopped listening to rap

HEY BROTHERS HULK HOGAN HERE TO TELL YOU P4K BROTHER THAT AFTER THE FALL OF THE SOVIET UNION WE REACHED WHAT SOME PHILOPHERS HAVE CALLED THE END OF HISTORY BROTHER WHICH MEANS IF YOU WANT A PICTURE OF THE FUTURE IMAGINE A BUSINESS MAN STOMPING ON YOUR FACE AND CHARGING YOU TEN DOLLARS FOREVER
BROTHER!
AND WHILE BERNIE AND THE CORB MAN MIGHT BE SOC DEMS THEY ARE STILL CAPITALISTS
BROTHERS
THE ONLY WAY THINGS ARE EVER GOING TO CHANGE BROTHERS IS THROUGH A VIOLENT COMMUNIST REVOLUTION THAT UNITES THE PROLETARIAT BROTHER!!!!!

Even if you support Corbyn on every single issue there is literally nothing concrete about him, he is too naive and the security services and elites would fuck him over in record time
>>
>>75169248
doesnt matter, people like you an the elite dont get that after the rescission, bank bail outs, endless war and various other neoliberal fuck ups that the proles want a champion that will fight for them and possibly improve their material conditions. Not a status quo manager

being anti-Israel is the correct opinion though and anyone who thinks otherwise should be ignored

They were satisfied with le ebil EU boogeymonster fighting against them, though.

I don't think you understand me. I much prefer Corbyn to the Tories and Blairites.

But you have to understand something. He endangers UK arms sales and profitable relationships with places like Saudi Arabia because of his moral stance. Tories and Blairites actually worship satan and hold human hunting parties in the Cotswolds. A backbencher like Corbyn won't know how to deal with them and will probably get blackmailed, threatened or assassinated because of all the money at stake.
>>
>>75169339
>Corbyn
>a "champion of the proles"
he got pushed into power by the children of champagne socialists. His inability to secure a decent vote in northern mining communities (IE. labour's heartlands) and his dire results in scotland is ample evidence to show that even the working-class don't want him representing them.

SO the fuck what. I bet you ask any punter on the street what they think about saudi arabia and people would say fuck those fuckers

>musicians should take a political stance and deny fans their music because of the regime they live under


You want to be careful anyways, claiming to be "anti-israel" is the fast track to a character assassination.

I'm not saying I disagree with his view, I'm saying the shady as fuck people in MI5 and the political establishment are puppets of those arms companies with a gazillion pounds riding on him not getting into power.

Lol, Radiohead as a political band. They are only slightly more political than Taylor Swift.

I can't wait to see the response if Christian Lindner gets power in Germany lolol. These "music journalists" are all just pissed because they are making McDonald's wages despite being considered prestigious to h&m thriftheads. The funny thing is that in reality, anyone who takes p4k seriously is seen as a wannabe because all they do is glorify the same crap that mtv does, but with a trendier website, which is why their best albums of 2016 had a laughable top 10.

the Germans are cucks and will vote in that fat bitch merkel again and then people will pretend that shits normal that she has been the leader of germany for like 10000 years and then turn around and call putin a dictator

Why can't YOU shut the fuck up about politics? You're just as estrogenized as them. Stop shitting up this board with this garbage. No one cares.

good job, you voted for a wafery old man who thought gender-segregated trains were a good idea and convinced his main voter base that he would retroactively write off all their student debt before doing a huge u-turn when realising it would cost at least 100 billion pounds.

And I thought Diane Abbott's maths were bad. I've voted labour all my life but fuck me if Jeremy Corbyn isn't wholly incompetent.

How come Brits consistently have only complete fucktards on both sides ever since Major? Are you guys going for some kind of Guinness record?
>>
>>75170427
Jez is a genius. And I mean this in the most cynical and hateful way possible, I despise the man. But somehow he has managed to convince 18 year old students that he is in favour of remaining in the EU, thus sucking up their votes, whilst also convincing a good portion of the Labour heartland that he is a staunch leaver. And this is a man the media laud as principled? He's used the role of opposition in the most Alinsky way possible. He knows he doesn't need to actually deliver on any promises. He gets to keep his job and doesn't have to deliver on any of the free stuff he lies about. Oh and of course then his internet defence force insist he's not like all those other politicians, of course they're all liars, but not Jez, he's our guy.

To be fair, the American election was between a sexually aggressive orange ham and a cold, calculating bint who unironically compares herself to Cersei Lannister. Over here we just have to deal with the fact that both our main party leaders have dementia.

>>75171605
Yeah, I completely agree. The main reason the last general election wasn't a complete travesty for him was because he remained completely absent from the campaigns for both leaving and remaining, for a backbencher he has a great knack for political subterfuge. He has no interest in becoming prime minister, his priority is just to stick it out as opposition so he doesn't have to take responsibility over brexit.

>>75169970
I've literally never heard her say anything political. A bunch of autists larping as nazis on a welsh knitting forum idolising her doesn't make her political.

Didn't they look at Thom's Twitter in the run-up to this year's election? He was sharing loads of Labour stuff
