I think you are writing from a good impulse, but what we really want are raiding parties going to other places and improving them.

This is one of those things that does a good job of demonstrating for normal social cohesion mechanisms are villified when observed in fringe groups. You have no problem insulting and condescending and yet criticize us for the same, even as people have been nice to you. I don't care to flatter the sensibilities of whoever the next NATOist shitlib is telling me about asiatic hordes, they are clearly not interested in learning. What matters are the people who don't have the same moronic confidence that the NATOists do.

It's a legit tactic in Death Note to use a celebrity's name as a pseudonym in order to make them a sacrificial lamb for if someone tries to kill you, so this also kind of makes sense.

Light is way too conceited to plagiarize. Unless it was to set up a (meta-level) trick of some kind, he would take such an action as an admission of his own inadequacy, which he would never accept.

Saying shitty reactionary nonsense is completely like him, though.

It's ambiguous, but the Death Note seems to work based on what the name-holder believes is "really" their name, which in most cases will be their legal name (though in the case of, like, a slave name, we'd expect the original name to be the one that works). Changing your legal name as a ploy wouldn't work, plus you can't legally change your name without there being a record and people who processed the paperwork having seen it and so on. In general, this is just a poor job riffing on the source material, and I say this in part because I've absolutely seen dumb, pandering meme shit that nonetheless captures Death Note's better aspects much more effectively.

I don't think he has a name unless it's "virgin" in contrast with "chad" on top

Anarchists, whatever might be said of them, are way less bad than Trots even in the more pessimistic cases.

In the Court is definitely way up there, especially if you just trim the improv part of Moonchild . . . . As you can probably tell from me going to Dinosaur immediately, I also really love THRAK (though a couple songs are dogshit, which is the case for most KC albums after the first). Larks Tongue is great, but now you've got me digging through their albums to remember stuff properly.

Wow, looks like they've made a lot of their EPs and live albums more available finally, but I only know like two of those. Regarding remaining albums: I loved Power to Believe, one of their better ones. Red is solid. Starless is just this side of being too croony, but I like it. Lizard is jank as hell but I like and respect it. In the Wake of Poseidon I could never get into, though it has a couple of good songs. Islands I just totally forgot about to a much deeper degree than the rest of these, though on reflection I think I still like it more than Poseidon. Construkction I just can't stand, but I'm happy for you if you like it.

It is absolutely taking their freedom away. Informed consent is important, but your consent cannot be informed if you have been systemically indoctrinated into bullshit heuristics and myths and haven't had an opportunity to really develop your critical thinking skills. It's a profound counter to popular power, though not because they are "brainwashed" as such as some might say (not you, necessarily), but because their mental development gets completely stunted. It can be surprisingly easy to get someone to abandon a lot of this shit if they are placed in a different environment that doesn't reinforce it, but that doesn't make up for all the education they didn't receive that they should have. It's crippling the population in a way not unlike the chronic lead poisoning does in other cases.

As our comrade alludes to, you're thinking of accreditation, but I just wanted to add that such a thing usually only applies to educational requirements for degrees,* e.g. that your physics students know the vast majority of X body of content based on being that body being taught and tested. You can have absolute horseshit in elective courses (or even in the fat of mandatory courses, I think), and all of this is a world away from what you can print in your paper or have in presentations on campus, which is pretty much unrelated to accreditation so long as you aren't breaking the law or something.

I completely agree that it should be illegal, but it's not.

*On a state-by-state basis, there is also the matter of if your school itself is "licensed" (I believe this is the legal issue Trump "University" tripped over), but I don't really know how that works tbh

"Members of your group"

There it is again, just sliding the subject around freely because you have no point if you talk about the same thing for two consecutive comments.

With a hate-boner like that, you surely would, but you'd look like less of an asshole if you listened to perhaps a single song from OK Computer or something

(also I'll take you up on that offer of finding something better if it's open

TMBG are pretty explicitly communists, so you're good there

If you like them and RH, there's a good chance you'd like some of King Crimson. I was trying to think of a useful comparison and I think you should check out their song Dinosaur to see what I'm getting at. That is, unless what you really like about Yorke is the wailing, in which case go right to In the Court of the Crimson King.
