Apparently all those lyrics decrying war and killing doesn't apply to da jooooooos.

I've always hated that egotistical bastard. I always thought it was just because he ruined Pink Floyd.

I've always hated that egotistical bastard.

I've always had those feelings for about 90% of the artists.

This is where you almost just have to sigh with frustration, when you have artists whose material indicates they are so close to something, only to identify the wrong target (or fail to identify the other part of the target).

The Wall is an epic warning against authoritarian collectivism. Listen to Another Brick in the Wall Part II, the famous lines about "we don't need no education" and tell me it's not a more accurate indictment of the Left than anyone else. This really just shows the power of narratives. The narrative is that authoritarianism comes from the Right, hence if you're against that you have to identify as left/liberal. I think it's no more complicated than that for most of these musicians, actors, authors.

The exact same thing was in play in the excellent film, "V for Vendetta". The right-wing totalitarian fascists in the movie were a substitute for the totalitarian Leftists that threaten our liberty in real life.

I find it interesting the track of thought between the $500 Bounty thread with my posting of the Bloom County cartoon and the mention here of Roger Waters and his unwitting Liberal Projection™.  He feeeeeeeeeeeeeels that he is being scathing in his biting and indicting criticism of the right in his work when in truth he describes his own side of the fence. Same with Berkley Breathed and Bloom County cartoons.

He tried to exorcise his private devils in his cartoons, employing both scorn and satire to depict what he believed to be right-wing foibles. He only managed to outline and define the various neuroses that is uniquely post-modern liberalism. I think that ultimately he sensed his own hypocrisy and in response killed his own creations - only to have the little devils haunt him into resurrecting them for another go.

The cartoon is funny if you think that a 'winger drew it. It's intriguing when you consider that a libtard created it.

A lot of his lyrics (I always thought, anyway) came from his dad dying in WWII, fighting Hitler.  So what's the ultimate tool to do when approaching 70?  Embrace the ideology that's the closest match to Hitler.



Yes, I'd be more than happy to strap that on, the next time I'm in a room with some jews.
