Ok first of all an octopus and a squid are in different orders, (octopus all being in octopoda and squid being actually 2 separate orders now (huh TIL) called oegopsida and myopsida) - this is like calling a human a cat (humans are order primates, cats are order carnivora).

That’s before we even get onto the 14 “legs”. Legs! Seriously Express, could your staff not even look on wikipedia for five minutes? The limbs of cephalopods are called ‘arms’, with the 2 specialized limbs with club ends that squid have being tentacles, none of them have ‘legs’ of any kind, and squid by definition have 10 limbs (yes I know, the vampire squid from hell only has 8 arms, no tentacles but… well they aren’t really squid so they don’t count).

Such shoddy, shoddy journalism. What’s that? Mind control rays? Perfectly reasonable. Putin told me himself on the joint Wumao-Russiabot conference call last week.

Why did Brittany lose about half of Brittany? Also no independence for the Basques or Catalans?

I mean, I’d prefer to give it back to the natives and let them sort out borders tbh, My peoples have a rather shameful history of deciding other people’s borders I don’t want to indulge in :)

Most of them are just current internal administrative borders, like if we carved the US up along state or county lines. It’s even lazier than you think.

I’m something of a breakcore fan myself, I can’t say there aren’t individualists amongst the fans or artists, of course, but it’s like more genres in that regard. (Also depends on what you mean by breakcore I think cause there’s quite the dispute between oldschool breakcore fans - stuff like Venetian Snares, Alec Empire’s “The Destroyer”, etc. - and new music being labelled ‘breakcore’ but which is mostly kinda shitty drum’n’bass with creepy anime cover art).

Christian Contemporary - in whatever flavour. I don’t have much fondness for the church as it is and they manage to make something that’s even worse than Christian Rock which, to quote Comrade Hill: “You’re not making Christianity better you’re just making rock and roll worse.”

Oh… maybe Martial Industrial or Neo-folk. Both of which are fucking teeming with fascists, or “apoliteic” bands. Pretty much everyone you look at in either genre is gonna be quoting Ernst Jünger and Julius Evola, amongst other more obscure fascist or fascist-adjacent ideologues. They have this romantic notion of ‘Europa’, free from the decadence of liberal democracy and multiculturalism - they’re unironic ‘RETVRN’ types.

Only 2? There’s at least hardcore techno and hardcore punk too, and all the “-core” genres that spawn from them

afaik EFF are some flavour of socialist? And I don’t think thye mean the song to be taken literally, but frankly, why the fuck is so much of South Africa’s farmland owned by a tiny number of Hwite settler-colonists?

I just really wish I could find a good vid of Kill the Boer to add to my “upset the liberals” playlist. No matter where I look I just get settler-colonists seething about it.
