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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

Radiohead are objectively good and people in this thread have shit taste
Just weird "well I didn't like you anyway" contrarian energy
Shit people can be good artists
It's a bit of a tendency to fixate on it that everyone from Fascists to Communists has nowadays - the people accused of bad stuff usually get outraged and go fash at the backlash or whatever.
Pure opportunism, and attempting to salvage a source of high income.
Ultimately, a lot of art is made by people with questionable ideology - often without saying anything about it. I know comrades that enjoy Varg's music (literal Nazi murderer), but I also prefer not to listen to say the Smiths or Ramstein, despite knowing I'd probably enjoy it.
It's a lot of bickering and kind of a dead end in the world of art, but a huge part of modern lib politics where that's the almost only thing you're allowed to truly question and argue about. Listening or not listening to a decent but overrated rock band isn't really going to change much, except for being an offshoot of the lib saying from 10 years ago "vote with your wallet"
AFAIK, Morrissey only went fash after leaving the Smiths, and Johnny Marr is still fine. My dream is to see a Smiths reunion tour where Rick Astley replaces Morrissey.
