John Brown & Unions are the keys to busting the MAGA fascist bubble. They're not magic, but these are the themes that we can sell to Americans about a better America that their ancestors lived and died for.
John Brown was a fundamentalist Calvinist, who lived and died for equality. He is a key example of progressive Christians who would be called Social Justice Warriors by the Right.
Unions (& the New Deal) were THE key for bringing Americans out of the Great Depression.
Coal miners getting killed for wanting enough pay that their children wouldn't starve is the image.
This is pretty big news for me & my friends. These are all still demos, but I have all 11 tracks for This Cassette Kills Fascists laid out!
:parrot_beer:
Listen to This Cassette Kills Fascists, an album by #ArtFed
I have a whole to-do list after listening to it on repeat. 😅
This will fit on one side of the cassette, which leaves Side B free for all of the original tracks without the dialogue and my screwing them up, lol. The intention is for people to make mixtapes and remixes of any and everything on the album.
The whole album will be releaded under a CC-BY-SA 4.0 creative commons license to enable this.
I think that I actually "get" Surrealism now, or at least what it means to me.
Most of the Surrealists (not you Dali) were antifascist (communist and/or anarchist) and I think much of their work was intended as an antifascist psyop.
I've made posts like "Normalize being weird" & ranted about HOA's enforcing homogeneity because I see that as part of fighting fascism.
They were trying to shatter that same "impulse towards normality". I used to think they were just "being weird artists" trying to push the limits for fun or arts sake. Maybe some of them were, but we need an #Antifascist#Art movement with a quickness.
Use it to counterprotest fascists interrupting a trans event. Use it to make a point. Use it to fundraise for local candidates that allign with your values.
Ultranationalists are already concentrating on the effects of #ClimateChange.
They focus on migration, crime, and war -- all of which are consequences of climate change.
Their "solutions" aren't solar panels and tree planting. They want concentration camps, military-style policing, and offensive wars.
Even if you don't care about the human and natural misery caused by climate change, if you are #AntiFascist, you must push for immediate climate mitigation and adaptation now.
NO.
now is NOT the time to tell people not to criticize Biden. look at what he is doing for #Gaza after almost half a million #Uncommitted votes during these #primaries.
NOW IS THE TIME TO PUSH DEMOCRATS, TO THE LEFT AS HARD AS WE CAN.
Protests work.
Democrats need to be the #antifascist party, not the party of meeting the fascists in the middle.
now is the time for all democrats to act like members of an antifascist party and not as just the opposition.
Over 1000 people joined the #antifascist demonstration in #Neustrelitz today together with countless further protests across Germany. Thanks all for coming! 💖
I have a #PublicDomain and/or #FairUse question. I know that this is a mirky subject, but what are your thoughts?
Are the words that a comedian says in a routine protected and/or copyrighted?
I'm not interested in using the actual audio, but I would like to incorporate some Bill Hicks bits into an #antifascist#AudioCollage#ccmusic project that #ArtFED is working on. They will probably be generated by text-to-speech.
Made another post with a drawing bc I thought it would help more. I want to confirm whether or not these are nazi/fascist symbols.
The one without a circle was found on a sidewalk. I became anxious that it was one. My mom guessed it could be a kid’s attempt at a snowflake (it was winter). But I was warned a Nazi visits my town occasionally.
The second was in a video. I am wary if this is a black sun variant
From what I've been reading it's very important to not validate #MAGA propaganda by giving into their bullshit fear. That's a massive part of their psyop/leverage.
