This statement is objectively false.

🎸 Tuareg Blues, often referred to as Desert Blues, is a hypnotic and deeply evocative genre of music that originates from the Imazighen people of the Sahara Desert, spanning Mali, Niger, Algeria, Libya, Burkina Faso and many other countries. Rooted in centuries-old Imazighen traditions, it merges the haunting melodies of North African Imazighen music with the raw energy of American blues and rock. The Imazighen, have long used music as a means of storytelling, resistance, and cultural preservation. Traditional Imazighen music was played on instruments like the teherdent (a type of lute) and the imzad (a one-stringed violin, traditionally played by women). However, in the late 20th century, as Imazighen communities faced displacement, political struggles, and exile, many young musicians turned to the electric guitar, inspired by the revolutionary sounds of Western blues, rock, and reggae. This fusion created a distinct style-characterized by pentatonic scales, hypnotic rhythms, call-and-response vocals, and the steady, trance-like repetition reminiscent of both Saharan folk chants and Mississippi Delta blues. The influence of artists like Ali Farka Touré, whose Malian blues style bridged African and American blues traditions, also helped shape the genre. The music features driving guitar rhythms, often with reverb-heavy electric guitars that produce a shimmering, almost psychedelic effect. Call-and-response vocals reflect lmazighen oral traditions and communal storytelling. The lyrics are poetic and political, speaking of exile, freedom, rebellion, and the vast beauty of the desert. The hypnotic, repetitive structure of the music creates a trance-like atmosphere, deeply connected to the rhythms of nomadic life and the endless expanse of the Sahara. by Houssaine Ousbouh

It’s hard to explain but in order to be a really good racist you have to low key love every race.

It's just girls who saw a sassy post and thought "I could say that"- that's it

People always try to treat increasing misandry as this kind of social symptom of collective male deficiency when it's pretty clearly just a leftover social contagion from tumblr with zero real sociological insight into anything

This is exactly how "trans" activism works. It's the gaslighting equivalent of throwing sh*t at the wall and seeing what sticks.

"Carl Theodor Dreyer's 'The Passion of Joan of Arc' (1928) is one of the greatest of all movies. (...) No other film has so subtly linked eroticism with religious persecution. Falconetti’s Joan may be the finest performance ever recorded on film." --- Pauline Kael

No more concept albums. The world outgrew the need for "concept albums" at the end of the last decade.

I caved & watched one of the videos from that Standard Bank professor. A few seconds in, you can tell that lady is clearly out of touch with reality.

There’s a beautiful English word for this, actually: “ethnonarcissism”

Maybe it makes me a bad person, but honestly I’m so autistic that my issue with the antisemitism on here isn’t that it’s obnoxious, unkind or “morally wrong”, it’s that it breaks people’s brains and turns them into actual retards with fetal alcohol syndrome, with whom no meaningful dialogue or debate can occur, because they’re too emotionally committed to a litany of spastic priors that nobody with a fully functioning brain shares. It’s that it’s a totalising commitment to cult logic. You cannot meet cult logic in the middle anymore than you can be half pregnant, either you’re buck broken by third world Islamist retard logic or you’re not. If you are, there’s nothing to discuss.

Nothing disgusts and repulses me more than older people disavowing themselves in the hope of winning moral approval from younger people
