>In a 2007 interview, bandmate Josh Homme stated "Jesse Hughes and I have a theory; we’re socially liberal but government conservative guys". Hughes has also said "I wanted to be a Republican politician, for God sakes. I’m a conservative, dude". He also thinks Obama is a communist. >Homme has described himself as "very politically conservative" and "very socially liberal", considering himself a "fallen libertarian".
Why is it that those who make horrible, trash music invariably have horrible, trash politics?
People should seriously stop complaining about meme rap, this shit is 10x worse

I bet he's not socially liberal after the peaceful refugees massacred people at his concert.
Gabriel Long
No he's an evil racist banned from the venue
Eli Ward
That's sort of surprising about Josh but at the same time also not really.
I have a really hard time deciding if he's a cool dude or a giant dumbass.
Liam Barnes
>he fell for the "Venezuela is socialist" meme
Justin Ward
Same reason why socially outcast losers still regurgitate the same stale memes on Sup Forums because they have zero creativity
Jordan Clark
You're right, it's a failed state so obviously it isn't real socialism
Jaxson Kelly
>Homme has described himself as "very politically conservative" and "very socially liberal", considering himself a "fallen libertarian"
Literally /ourguy/
James Long
>All these people shitting on Homme
Why? Why is he trash? Is it just because he stated he's conservative?
He's a pretty great guitar player, and his lyrics are really entertaining in a sarcastic play on words kind of way

I'm not denying his musical talent but beyond that I would never value his opinion on non musical subjects
Hunter Murphy
Fuck off libtard
Lucas White
why is he a dumb shit?
Adrian Barnes
Not much more than what I see here
although, Sup Forums is probably more cucked if we want to be honest
this place ranks pretty high, but its not completely awful
nice to avoid politics here because there's a pretty big presence of Sup Forums and unironic socialists and other types of modern liberal
Jeremiah Ramirez
Funny meme! The country where a majority of the means of production are private is socialist!

are you actually a communist/socialist?
do you unironically believe a stateless, classless society is possible without some authoritarian structure there to enforce it?

see I would miss that because you don't link to the actual post and I can't see your trail without trying to
Not defending capitalism, but communism is a joke that deserves to be laughed at

I'm sure that really unsettles them and sets them straight

>four consecutive attempts >exact same results every time What it means on paper and what it means in a real world application are two completely different things.
All this means is that's the system you get under a communist regime. You're a complete fucking idiot.

>point out shortcomings of communism throughout history >YEAH BRO BUT THAT'S NOT /REAL/ COMMUNISM; THAT'S STATE CAPITALISM >point out shortcomings of capitalism throughout history >YEAH BRO BUT THAT'S NOT /REAL/ CAPITALISM; THAT'S CORPORATISM Gonna lay a fat one on you guys; every debated historical example of communism was real communism and every debated historical example of capitalism was real capitalism.
It doesn't mean jack shit what they literally mean on paper when we already know with finite precision what you get with either system. The debate is completely pointless.
Jayden Robinson
I don't see "no true communism" except in Pol Pot's case (who was literally an anti-communist backed by the CIA) and Venezuela (who is also not socialist, just liberal). Everyone seems to be in agreement that the main examples of the USSR, Cuba, China (in the past) were socialist. Are you sure you're not just mad, dude?
Jayden Gomez
Seems like it's your first day if you can't read five posts up.

They're music "elite." They're rich. They're survivors of an act of violent terrorism. They're also from like the southwest desert area of the US. If that's not a formula for a republican idk what is.
William Martinez
He might be talented musically, but that obviously doesn't hold him back from being an idiot and being amongst even bigger fucking idiots.
Also, Eagles of Death Metal's public image and the visual part of their appearance is pure cringe
Joseph Ross
Ah yes, that good ass bull shit we all know as socialism.
Ok, I'll humor you >USSR >Cuba >China still leaves you at 0-3 in terms of political and economic stability, not to mention human rights violations in all three cases.
But you wanna try this again. >Are you sure you're not just mad, dude? >

Evan Evans
you need to separate the art from the artist. not every has the same experiences as you so don't expect people to be only one way. if you completely disregard anyone due to their views and cast off any and everything they do as "problematic" you'll be just as bad as you proclaim them to be

>political and economic stability Because those were all great countries beforehand, right? It's not like Russia was a backwater fifth-world feudal shithole beforehand which was propelled to US-rivaling superpower status in a matter of a few decades, right?

My point is that all these allegedly politically and economically unstable countries were far, far worse before socialism, spooklord. >you're a complete fucking moron who is a retarded idiot and also a dipshit Not an argument, spooklord. >he doesn't realize this is what communism entails What? In your words, "speak with some clarity, you fucking ideologue."

Your point is moot. >Not an argument, spooklord. But the speculation that I'm mad is, of course. >What? In your words, "speak with some clarity, you fucking ideologue." It means you know exactly what you're getting when you elect a communist regime into power. You've said it yourself, you're just deluded by this cognitive dissonance of Marx's wet dream when it's not a conceivable reality.
It's not about being a young person, it's not about being an idealist, you're just impressionable and stupid.

It's the same obsession with perversity and faux revolution rhetoric, as far as I'm concerned.

It's not that hard to find a job. I have a job, and I got it easily. It's not a dream job, it's not enjoyable to work, but the pay and benefits are fair and my place of employment is hiring often.

Brayden Brown
Why is he a dumbass though? I mean yeah this quote is pretty stupid and lacking in self awareness, but honestly aside from this I haven't ever really read anything he's said that's stupid. I've read a lot of things he's said that I agree with actually. He seems to get along pretty well with notably liberal musicians like St. Vincent and etc.
While the quote is dumb, it's more because it doesn't really mean anything. It's the "muh socially liberal/fiscally conservative" paradox bullshit.
Jesse Hughes may be a useless fuckstain. But I've never seen Josh Homme say the same kind of shit he has.
Blake Martin
>That's not what a counterargument looks like I need an argument to counter. Of course, it was partly my fault for expecting any classcuck, especially one that's as much of an inbred retard as you, to formulate a good argument. Have fun, and make sure mommy doesn't see you on this website.
Justin Davis
It's turned more into anons arguing over politics in general. Besides, Jesse is the vocal one when it comes to politics. Not as entertaining as posting Sup Forumssic but it still generates (You)'s and replies.
Benjamin Jackson
People with horrible, horrible politics deserve to be hated.
Benjamin Roberts
Seriously though when did this start, aside from this very vague quote, I've never seen Josh say literally anything about politics.

>That’s your cross to bear. To me, that PC world would suck more shit than the porta-potty truck at Glastonbury. Homophobic? I’m in Queens of the Stone Age for crissake… You say, “So.

But it’s a helluv a lot more definitive than the logic of some watchdog… (sorry canine-American, canine-European, canine-African, canine-Australian & canine-Asian) moralist, keeping score from pure perfectionville? If your glass house is squeegeed that clean & you need to do something, do what the great philosopher Bill Hick’s once suggested: – forgive me-. Or don’t. I’m not asking for either, OK? I think you should let both of your cheeks go loose so the stick will drop out. Either way I expect that you’ll soon find another injustice from your chair, then roll to your bullhorn & point it out to the rest of us… Because you’re so above it all.

That quote is from this article craveonline.com/music/155340-josh-homme-and-the-blood-of-virgins and it's also noted on his wikipedia page (that links to the incorrect source), but yeah, I've also never seen him talk about politics besides what was on his wikipedia page (which is the same quote in the OP).

That's a very long-winded way to say absolutely nothing.
