Name one (1) example

i would never pay for music

Are people not allowed to be critical of capitalism and also try to make money in order to survive?

Plenty of indie rockers and pop stars
They aren't.
If you're critical of capitalism you should see the incompatibility between it and art.

Every hip person says "fuck capitalism" because they think it's a slingshot explanation/solution to all of the world's problems.

yeah
look at all these good and popular soviet musicians
oh wait, there's none
haha

/thread

>Plenty of indie rockers and pop stars
gonna need some examples buddy

George Corpsegrinder from CC has been vocal against downloading music for free, but then again the lazy fucker has to pay for his Warcraft addiction somehow....

Refused.

RATM
Papa Roach

Then you don't actually like it, you just enjoy it.

Choking Victim
Leftover Crack
Dead Kennedys
Star Fucking Hipsters

But music that is pushing things forward and going its own path are not benefiting at all from capitalism, in the way mainstream music does. If capitalism and art is incompatible, capitalism sure does its best to keep it as uninteresting as possible.

Look at where the world is heading, look at streaming services, look at youtube and the internet and look at what every major record label thinks about it. This is not a capitalist landscape.

Ironically for all the dumb fucking people out there that point fingers and laugh at communist iphone users, technology is not strengthening the capitalist machine, it is challenging it. Look at all the fear around robots taking over, look at the outcry over piracy, and streaming services.

People are trying their absolute best to cling to the old world, but technology is moving too fast. Better pray that your precious internet gets a brutal nerfing soon, or its gonna become too much of a threat to your precious capitalist utopia.

>musician advocates for communism
>would not be able to continue making music in a communist society

>indie rockers and pop stars
>lists punk bands that belong to a genre of hypocrites
what did he mean by this?

Indie means independent, all of those bands fit that description. Jello would tell you so.

>>"If you don't buy my album I can't make more"
How is that wrong?

it costs money to make an album.

>"man, a lot of people don't have water-"
>"-UHHH IF YOU'RE CRITICAL OF WATER WHY DON'T YOU STOP DRINKING IT? ANTI WATER C UCKS BTFO!!"

so punk is indie rock now?

What did he mean by this?

>hurr if you hate capitalism why are you procuring food and housing with money
just because you don't like the system doesn't mean you aren't subject to it

>now

not communism but socialism

Show me where they said "Capitalism is a crime!"

who is this? is he a notable e-celeb? are his comment sections always a flamewar?

I don't see the words "capitalism is a crime"

Try again. For all the artists mentioned.

I'd post their discographies but you should be able to find them on your own.

communism is good but it can never work

>communism is good
>christianity is stupid

world peace is good but it can never work

>but when Sup Forums strawmans leftists as nu males in those ms paint comics it's ok

i said soviet, you fucking mongrel

same with capitalism

thankfully we live under a hybrid system encompassing the best of both

what the fuck are you talking about

but yes, if you know anything about abrahamic religions and antiquity you should know Christianity is fucking stupid.

shut the fuck up

Nice backpedaling

This is a false narrative that gets applied to many different artists despite the fact that there is little evidence except maybe a couple of artists.

Its an ambient concept people assume must be real because today's culture illicits enjoyment out of exposing hypocrisy. The innate joy you got out of making this post proves this true.

I honestly don't know why kids today dress in ways that will cause them to be ridiculed after someone takes a picture of them and sends it around the globe in 3 seconds. Do they have any self awareness of how they appear being overweight/below average attractiveness and decked out in MAGA gear? Don't they worry about consequences of putting themselves out there like that? When I was a kid that was all I could think about.

...

Communism is wrong because people like to own stuff

it's not though

not everyone who disagrees with you on the internet is Sup Forums by the way

Sorry, I wasn't prepared to deal with someone on such a high enough intellectual plane that they are unable to listen to a few albums.

Wut as I recall psub were Soviet, nyet?

Negativland song

If you make a claim, you need to back it up.

if you can't prove it, it's not true

i used to live in the north and now i live in the south and say nigga around some of my friends

doesn't matter

arts contribute emotionally to a society but nothing more. at the end of the day you can't eat emotions.

"soviet" means pre-1991

>doesn't matter
merican education

>mfw teenage fans of MDE, Computing Forever an Sargon of Akkad still think the "but you use capitalism!" argument is valid

i love strawmanning anti-capitalists and communists

...

Ah gotcha

But is that really relevant? Doesn't the example still hold with psub in russia?

this, unironically. With very few exceptions, every proponent of socialism and communism has been fairly illiterate when it comes to history or politics.

oh snap

lost your way off reddit?

Karl Marx was illiterate?

>"they're illiterate"
>"but i'm just as illiterate as the very few people i've argued it with so that's okay"

can't us leftists watch MDE too?

these musicians would not be able to survive as an unrestricted artist in a communist or socialist society, hence the "doesn't matter"

Why?

not anymore because it got cancelled

he is strawmanning on purpose. read who he is responding to.

What are you, a 14 year old kid that just discovered Sup Forums and feels like you're in a sekrit klub?
It's beyond me how people are still doing le leddit vs 4chen wars

>things redditors say

"The goal of Socialism is Communism."
-Vladimir Lenin

>equating paying for and supporting a brutal corporation, while simultaneously criticizing it with wanting to improve society

This argument is retarded. And no one ever did the bottom left panel, it's always been about the top two.

If you wanted to have apple raise their wages for chinese factory workers, you'd make an effort towards a large boycott, and yes you could post about it on the internet, hopefully not from one of their products.

Wanting to improve society while participating in it is in no way comparable to that.

That's like saying "I don't like my life, I'd like to improve it." And the response being "Yet you haven't killed yourself though?"

>tfw no one on Sup Forums will bring up how Radiohead and specifically Thom are a bunch of hypocrites when it comes to being environmentalists

How so?

>muh global warming
>we're not gonna tour with jets anymore guys!!
>offered a large amount of shekels
>I guess we can tour...

I wish but Sam is becoming more and more political and it ruins the comedy. I hate preachy political comedy, left or right. Plus Sam is actually a crazy paranoid guy, along with Charls who is actually autistic and lives in a bunker. They're so assured of themselves too, unable to see nuance or why people might have a problem with them espousing white nationalism on a public forum. Also that phonecall to Tim heidecker was just embarrassing Sam is mentally ill. Considering dropping them

tu quoque

>has a net worth of over 50 million dollars
>only has that success because of a capitalistic society
>"le fuck capitalism XD! We are the 99%!"

I still can't believe Sup Forums falls for this shit. Blows my fucking mind.

musictimes.com/articles/56179/20151127/radioheads-thom-yorke-climate-change-kept-awake-night.htm

Being against capitalism means being against the economic system called capitalism and not denying that in the capitalist system you have to make money to survive. Should they go live in the woods or what?

No mention of jets.

Try again

nme.com/news/music/radiohead-498-1343633

note that jets are not mentioned verbatim but it's implied that they are not going to fly

>it's implied
Not what I'm asking for.

Try again

System of a Down.

No drumpf. No kkk no fasist usa!!

Go vote for Hillary Clinton! Shes the punk rock candidate!!
These people are fucking retarded. If they honestly think trump is a fascist, why arent they fleeing the country or doing literally anything more than a gay little chant?

>A radiohead fan needs to be spoonfed something and can't infer that by Thom saying let's take a boat and bus he's saying let's not use a plane like everyone else

what a surprise

When did they say "Capitalism is a crime!"

lefty millennials are fleeing to Canada though

...

Why not Mexico? Fuckin rasists...

I just did. Watch this

“It is quite extraordinary, the rock ‘n’ roll business,” he explained, “at this stage the normal protocol would be to fly in/fly out every night, so to choose to bumble about on a bus is going to be interesting.”

You niggas seriously can't even read.

>you can take a bus across the ocean
Are you tarded?

No they arent. Not a single one has yet, and all the pussy celebrities said they were joking about moving. These people are pathetic

>literally right before it talks about taking a boat

You niggas SERIOUSLY can't even read. Need me to spoonfeed you more or did you just not even read the article?

but most musicians have side jobs just to eat.. because nowadays bars don't actually think you have to pay musicians, because now people don't want to pay 5 dollars to hear the band play music, because the arts are not an important part of our society anymore

I think theyre ancap
