One area that they are doing well in is social housing. Meanwhile my capitalist hellscape on Australia is fine with making people homeless.

To quote the vocalist from Chat Pile - his stage name is Raygun Busch( say it out loud) " why do people have to live outside? We have the resources we have the means?"

High probability of attacks on civilians? Yeah from the isrseli forces

May god favor the ballistic mussile.supply chain

Meanwhile Australia has decided not to follow suit. Our politicians suck

Muslimgauze - a white British dude who was not Muslim but had a fascination with the Muslim world and palestine in particular. He made music that was a mix of IDM and arabic/Muslim influenced sounds and used provocative song and album titles.

He was active in the 80s and 90s before he died and recorded so much stuff that dozens of releases seem to have come out since he died.

One of the posthumous albums I’ve been listening to is called “no human rights for arabs in israel” and other album covers feature veiled women with guns and other images that might get you on a watch list, highly reccomended if you want to listen to a guy who seemed like he was autistic and obsessed with anti imperialism specifically Palestine.

Predates a lot of current bands doing pro palestine stuff by decades.

That is a band name alright.

I had been hearing about a hand called “chat pile” for a while and didnt look into them cause I thought the name was silly. Turns out it’s a reference to piles of crap left over from mining that is so pollutant heavy its caused entire towns to be abandoned.

Turns out even if you think a band name is silly it may still be worth looking into.

That said Anime Titties I’m sure doesnt have much of a deeper meaning I mean how could it?

Im australian and our gun policy worked because after a massacre where a lot of people died both of our mahor parties said this sucks we can do something about this and they did.

In america you couldn’t even get one party to agree to it.

Funny enough the recent Bondi massacre led to gun laws 2.0 and was not met with anything resembling bipartisanship.

It seems to be a culture thing where guns are way too tied into american culture.

Where possible the workers should have electrified as much as possible. Get an EV, battery and solar system. If possible and you dpnt live in anapartment that is

Anybody ever hear the documentary set to IDM called " the fire this time" about the first Iraq invasion? Its a heap of samples laid out over music to give you the history of what led up to the war, fully captures the horror of the war itself and the aftermath which they term a genocide by the Americans.

One sample is of somebody telling us they heard a child in Iraq say they wish they had been born a dog in america instead.

They knew Americans treat their dogs better then they do the global south.

This album features the highest rated apex twin song on RYM as well

The regime which considered Henry Ford a personal hero? Who would have thought.

Currently listening to “no human rights for arabs in israel” by Muslimgauze which was a British anti imperialist solo artist who was not Muslim himself but was disgusted at the state of the conflicts in the region with a particular focus on Palestinian rights.

I say was because he died before 9/11 but next time anybody asks why October 7th happened a quick glance at the output of this project( over 100 albums released before the died with plenty more posthumous releases as well apparently) tells you all you need to know with the earliest of these releases being in the early 80s.

That is to say the situation in Palestine, Iran, Afghanistan and the surrounding areas has been horrific for decades and people are suprised that Muslims would want to take up arms against the west? Everything i learn about the history of the west in West Asia makes then look more depraved and evil then imaginable.

As a big music lover my recent obsessions have turned me onto some intense anti imperialistic music including Muslimgauze and an album called " the fire this time" which js an electronic album featuring among other things a remix of an Aphex twin song that is actually an Audio documentary set to music which outlines the atrocities of the first Iraq war, absolutely heartbreaking hearing the fucked up things the west did to the country which should be called a genocide as they intentionally let children die, as Madelone Albrecht tells it “we.think the price was worth it” that quote it looped over the end of the album and is just a brutal compilation of ameikkkan/broader western nations crimes against humanity. And it also has a sample.of somebody saying they had a child tell them they would have preferred to be born a dog in america cause they would have been treated better and had a better life.

Scuse my rambling I need my meds and ran out and need to finish work before I can go get them.

I just discovered this British guy who called his musical output “MuslimGauze”

Before he died he recorded an astonishing amount of music, mostly instrumental and being a mix of electronic/industrial with West Asian sounds especially percussion as well as Arabic vocal samples.

The titles of some of the albums and songs though should give an indication of the politics involved here.

“hamas arc” for example is an album spotify tells me is from 93 while " a more recent posthumous album is called “no human rights for arabs in israel”

I assume other versions are from the difficulty of putting something not in English into English, sometimes the sound doesn’t have an exact translation amd.they go for.somethign similar.

The question here is this propaganda aimed at discrediting them or lifting them up or it is just a translation issue?

Not only that but they have the nerve to ask for 24 bucks a week, who the fuck would pay that for a piece of shit rag like the wsj?

Whose aggression?

That i believe is current capacity, Australia is pouring billions into developing critical metals to sell to the americans or more likely juat out them have it for sweet fuck all because why should the mineral wealth of the nation be used to benefit the nation as a whole when we can make a couple of rich assholes richer

I believe you are referring to Whitlam, but the actual answer here is no they didnt do it once they mkre the likely did it twice with Whitlam getting too socialist and wanting to be less reliant on the US and Kevin Rudd being well al i can figure is he spoke mandarin which means he was too pro China for thier liking. I beleive they had a hand in both, the Whitlam dismissal seems almost certainly to have american involvement though

Unlike america they dont target civilians

He likes making money more then he cares about being principled so just another rich asshole.

He needs to have somebody just as outspoken on palestine take over, he can get kneecap or bob vylan or Tom morello or something. Theres a punk band i think from Spain who did a song called lets go bomb tel aviv (LGBT) he could cover that or get them to open for him.

Now I understand why my parents have been live long greens voters in Australia
