Even in their earliest industrial albums (maybe not their first 2 albums as much --- the synthpop ones lol) in the late 80s were very overtly political --- both in the music and in live performances, where they'd go on political rants all the time during their shows. It's so weird to me CHUDs will talk as if the album The Land of Rpe and Honey was apolitical, with songs like 'Golden Dawn' and 'Hizbollah'

The titular track of 'The Land of Rpe and Honey' is overtly anti-nationalist with 'sieg heil' chant sample-clips in the background of lyrics like "Step by step, blood by blood, the mountain that you tumbled from"... "fist to fist, eye to eye, rulers of the wasteland"... "head to head, chest to chest, which country is the very best? and in the land of rpe and honey, you prey/pray" It is not subtle. And when Nazi skinheads who were too stupid to get the message would show up with a backwards idea the band would jump into the crowd to beat their asses themselves.

One of their old live shows had Jello Biafra on stage during that song holding an American flag while goose stepping and alternating doing the nazi salute and then bringing that hand to suck his thumb like a baby. This is not apolitical lmao. Which incidentally I've also heard people complain about Jello Biafra going woke as if he was ever apolitical; with his band called DEAD KENNEDIES with such apolitical songs like "kill the poor" "lets lynch the landlord' "holiday in cambodia" lmao.

And the second industrial album by Ministry from 1989 The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste also has very prominent political messages throughout too. 'Thieves' (banger song) has sample-clips of Nixon and of Lee Erney's character in Full Metal Jacket; and when it says "Thieves and liars! Murderers! Hypocrites and bastards!" "Hey thanks for nothing! Morals in the dust! two-faced bastards and syncophants! No trust!" it is not speaking apolitically lol.

'Breathe' talks overtly and explicitly about corporate self-serving destroying the environment and healthy life, talks about children suffocating on second-hand air in poisoned environments and lyrics like "Rusted syringes and half-thought disposal, A burial at sea, Waste water graveyard, Swimming in disease"

'Cannibal Song' and 'Never Believe' have overt anti-clerical and anti-prison bents in pretty visceral terms.

It takes a deliberate effort I don't understand in order to 'not see politics' in even the earliest of their industrial and metal works, to say nothing of their live performances which used and tore down fascist symbols and was as in your face with politics as it could get. They have always been like this, then continued as you said through Bush... I mean they never stopped. Al has always been very outspoken politically and works with people who are the same.

also if there were a lunch rush or something Trump would 100% scald himself and or others

I always loved Dis-O-Bedience too. The prechorus horn riff into the chorus guitar riffs hit just right. There's a horn solo too, which having horns in an industrial rock song rules. I love interesting instrument comboes, like how Trent Reznor started working his sax playing in to newer NIN works

it's a shame they went woke. al jourgensen got too political smh.

(this is a real Actual thing I've seen people say lmao)

that said I do think it is genuinely meant to appeal to (or rather pander to) service workers as per the campaign, just like going into local businesses and engaging with the staff, and hand-shaking with unions, etc. that politicians always do. These people are just incapable of selling it. I think this event is a strategized Republican attempt shake off some of the 'elitist' vibe that is so alienating about both parties, but that the Democrats being unashamed about is a point of Republican attack against them (and the Trump campaign picking up reactionary unions and talking about "jobs" all the time and how 'Democrats outsourced and ruined all the jobs' is part of this strategy and trajectory). It's just that Trump is a billionaire --- they are incapable of treating other humans like full people, even other rich. Just like Hillary was incapable of not acting aghast at working class living conditions. That wasn't the goal of the event, but it's who she is, in the class to which she belongs.

She just told me that was a "soundbite" and otherwise didnt process what I said.

24 hour liberal news media is domestic psychological warfare. turns people into redditors

pay someone to steal her television and internet router

"because it stands as a beacon for human freedom"

"now go through this 2 hour armed checkpoint manned by your colonial occupiers in order to go to the grocery store, and submit to being groped and having your belongings rifled through and being verbally abused if not having your physical safety and life threatened. Then repeat this in a couple days for the same thing."

It's less about concrete facts I know, just my inclination about it for single-time-use email, the value of one vs the other. And I can't vouch for any specific temp email site (as I said I don't even remember ones I used in the past); but if I know I will never have to revisit or don't want to, I'm less likely to remember the info to delete it from one of the constant-account big sites. I prefer the idea of temp accounts then going into the ether than having remnants floating out there with all its associated services (which can often be themselves signed up for with a separate throwaway anyway if one wants). Especially with the biggest intelligence behemoths and monopolies; who knows what cross-site cookies or contemporary IP or timing overlaps or combined telemetrics get associated into collation in the Utah data center file.

But there is also the "you-shaped-hole in the data" problem too that might theoretically benefit from disjointed spam creation in the services if you do use them regularly for other things (again I have no idea, not a thing I bother with), as well as there is theoretically a double edged sword of too-decentralized uses creating more unique inputs. So who knows. It's just easier and for me feels like less things to think or worry about for a 1-and-done if I know I never have to revisit, and there will need to be more scattered hoops to jump through to pull the inputs to string things together. But this is general low level use cases like the person I was replying to. If objective rigorousness of opsec were a gravely serious concern with something someone was doing one should take it offline in general.

every time i load a video of him at a press conference or something, watching him shamble up face skin stapled to his back and start to moan dust I can barely listen to what's being said over myself saying out loud "oh my god he's so fucking old" and have to replay it to hear what was happening. It's insane this guy is president of the largest most violent empire in history. It's never not shocking actually seeing it. he's completely decrepit he seems like he's going to crumble to dust any second.

I now understand more 'you're only as old as you feel' that I've heard elders say because I've known people who were 95 who were less old than this guy. This guy is 'partied-with-the-Pharoahs' old.

idk about any of this but Mohammed on the bottom has some statuesque legs, good for them

there's a few sites that can make temp throwaways that have an inbox but disappear after you close the page might work. I forget the names. But it's also possible sites can flag those websites to not allow verification emails out to them (or target the account)

I wrote above, afaik they should still count as valid write ins bc there's automatic write-in access in the state, unlike Georgia where they were fought off the ballot by the (anti-)Democratic bourgeois party's high-finance lawyers, which requires specific write-in registration (for which the deadline has passed). They're just not valid as ballot choices in the state anymore. But it should allow write-ins as far as I can tell because it's an automatic write-in access state per the Election Assistance Commission source I linked --- just can't choose them directly on ballot (even if they are still listed bc it's too close to election to reprint. That would probably spoil ballot).

a lot of US liberals who backed Bernie were actually serious about the 'or bust' and jumped ship from the Democrats after. I've worked with, organized with, and even been roommates with some of them, amounting to a pretty good number just in my personal bubbles. A bunch of them are even communists now. And even more have been going that route since, including hugely now over this genocide in Palestine, which is seeing also mass sustained protests even outside of the Democratic Convention, which is happening alongside many defections. Liberalism is in the water from birth; most US communists on HB were once US liberals. It is the default slate before any other input. Saying liberals can never be convinced is demonstrably false because you're speaking contradictory negations about the literal experiences of many people on this very web site. It also doesn't serve the expanding of class consciousness or construction of socialist movement building to hold and push that idea, which I've seen many times on this site, which makes me laugh when I know it is coming from a US person who was, in all likelihood, a liberal just a few years before making such comments.

According to this access chart, they have write-in access in Pennsylvania as it is one of a few automatic write-in states as per the EAC, meaning they don't need to register as an official write-in candidate to be written in like they would have had to in Georgia to receive write-in votes after they were fought off the ballot there as well by the (anti-)Democratic party capitalist superPAC lawyers. As far as I know write-ins still work in automatic write-in states as it is unnecessary to register for an "official write-in status" because it's automatic. I could be wrong if someone has better information but it's what I am seeing.

They have automatic write-in access in Alabama, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming. Registering is specifically for ballot access in states with automatic write-in access. So my assumption with them being removed from ballot access proper by the (anti-)Democratic bourgeois party's superPAC lawyers, is that they now can only be written in and can't be chosen directly on the ballot. Assuming the ballots aren't reprinted because it's so close to the election, you would presumably void your vote by choosing them on the proper upper ballot (which they've been "removed" from) vs writing them as a write-in where candidates have automatic access. This is my assumption. Certainly, granted, it would be totally asinine for them to have it pan out this way --- but also US bourgeois democracy is totally asinine, and that's the info I have.

Joe can more elecdeez nuts

he also with the Trilateral Commission imperialists he surrounded himself with initiated operation cyclone --- the support of fundamentalist terrorist and salafi jihadist groups, monarchists and fascists, child-r*ping warlords, etc. in Afghanistan and surrounding regions to cause civil war and terrorism in Communist-led Afghan on the border of Soviet SRs to drag the Soviets into "their own vietnamese quagmire"

claimed to have struck at isis-k when really, the u.s killed an aid worker and his family.

well of course, why would the USA fire at their military allies?
