I'm noticing a certain level affluence in the left image. I wonder if people from poor families in that time period would look as fondly at a time before radios.

I can't imagine a more common perfunctory part of meeting someone new than asking about their occupation to the point that articles get written encouraging people not to for a variety of reasons. "Lets stop defining people by their occupation" etc etc.

If our country finishes it's transition to fascism and I did nothing to stop that, I'll have to own that. Inaction will lump me in with the fascists. Neutrality makes me a guilty party; for evil to triumph, all good men must do is nothing. History isn't kind to collaborators regardless of their reasons.

Obviously not. But pointing out that something is illegal is pointless unless you got a way in mind to make it matter.

No, I'm a Leftist.

And I get “None of your business, glowie.”

Unless you live someplace truly bizarre, I'm sensing Hyperbole.

Maybe but they do illegal things all the time and no one is a position to stop them does anything

These people are all willing to play shows in the US, why wouldn't you expect them to play in Saudi Arabia? Sounds like living in denial about our own country. Like the concept of blood diamonds; money from software made in the US has funded conflict all over the globe but no one called it blood software. We used to export soybeans and used the money to bomb foreigners and no one called em blood soybeans.

Moral failings are always some other countries problem, we're the shining city on the hill remember? /s

Well, it is a thing but it's also an integral part of being human rather than a "culture" that's somehow new. The difference is that it's a power wielded by the people now rather than tastemakers putting people on a blacklist.

Bill Burr is different in many ways but the clip of him screaming "fagot" at the crowd was a clue that he's no ethical paragon
