Really ironic that Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are Zionists since OK Computer was influenced by writers like Chomsky.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Cancelling politically suspect mediocrities is fine because fuck ‘em right, but cancelling great artists over politics is myopic and undesirable, when there art is not directly political. In relation to that I would say, for example, that it was fine and good not to publish the anti-Semitic propaganda Celine wrote during WW2, as some publisher wanted to do a few years back; but it would be silly not to read his literary work because he was a Nazi, just as it would be silly to ignore Wagner or Heidegger for the same reason. On the other hand I don’t have a problem with anyone trying to cancel Radiohead, humanity doesn’t really miss anything if we lose them, although I’ll probably still listen to their music.
