  • Tossup between Streetlight Manifesto and Propagandhi.

    Streetlight I’ve probably seen 9 or 10 times. Every single one is one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. Their live shows are the perfect mix of energy and technicality. They are just as precise as their studio albums, but adding the intensity of live music and a venue completely packed with people who are super into it.

    Propagandhi I’ve only seen once, but it was fucking intense. Every song was balls-to-the-wall power. I got kicked in the teeth so fucking hard I thought I lost one, but didn’t care. I was supposed to see them again last year, but the frontman got Covid the night before the show. I was supposed to see them in a couple weeks, but they canceled their American tour on account of all the Nazi shit happening here. Now I’m seriously thinking about paying an exorbitant amount of money to go see them in Canada.

    If the US leaves that alliance and then starts surreptitiously sending drone parts to Russia, it’ll get dicey.

    If the AfD forms a coalition government with the normal conservatives and Germany decides to turn inwards and keep Deutsche money für die Deutscher, it’ll get dicey.

    If Macron finally completes his heel turn and appoints Marine le Pen to interior secretary…

    If Italy keeps going the way they’ve been going…

    If the Finnish right decides that joining NATO was a mistake that let too many minorities in…

    If the rest of Africa goes along with the Sahel nations and starts funneling their resources into the Russian war machine…

    If Modhi lets Russia open more factories in India…

    If China decides that they’re cool with sharing power on the global scale and fully buys in on the BRICS bloc…

    Russia looks weak right now because the invasion has been such and embarrassment, but that can change surprisingly quickly. The global shift towards authoritarianism is coming hand-in-hand with a shift away from US/Eurocentric hegemony.
