Frank Zappa had plenty of legal issues with people of that background in the recording industry and we never heard anything more untoward from him than a certain unfortunately titled song Google likes to censor out of albums. No “death con 3” , etc.

So did Michael Jackson, and he talked about it. What does it matter if some other person did or didn’t talk about their issues - it’s irrelevant.

Do you know what he meant by death con 3?

Because he explains it himself in the video and it’s not untoward like you’re implying.

Again, maybe listen to the guy you want to slander for 20m.

But but if we actually listened to what people saying then how would we achieve mass-hysterical outrage 24/7?

Hah, this is spot on. It's like groundhog day every week and interesting to watch in real time. I've been mostly tuned out for years now. People say to me all the time, "Have you heard of <insert outrage for the week here>?!" I usually reply with a "No" which results in a regurgitative and passionate explanation.

I just don't understand the phenomenon of people moving from one day/week to the next, with a social media influencer or MSM feeding them the next thing to care about. I would be more dismissive of it, but when it starts spilling over into real life; workplaces, road rage, etc. - it is detrimental to society. At what point do people see this for what it is and wake up?
