Urgent questions for folks with Leftist friends/connections

[BetterCallSaul]

Or rather, perhaps even more generally, for people with an ear to the hi-hop community and urban culture in general.


I will spare you the many boring details for now (though I am open to discussion if you have questions) but I was wondering if anyone here has such friends or networks.

I live in NJ, and am on the fringes of this and that artistic/performer community, is the background that is relevant. Also a fledgling member of some urban initiatives and organizations.

So since moving into these circles, I am bumping up against lots of shadiness- city-organized marches masquerading as grass-roots events, unnamed individuals editing and removing facebook content from multiple pages, and now most offensively...

...people that can't rhyme for shit, being paraded around with half-celebrities (Jay-Z nutsack hangers for example) in Obama's name, and in the name of vaguely Leftist/Democratic issues.

Does anyone with such connections see this trend in their own culture pockets?

It isn't news to me or anything that the architects of the Left use these cultures for this purpose- what is so alarming about it is the extent of the involvement of regular people from the neighborhood (all probably duped) and the direction in which they are moving. The winds whisper menacingly, in other words.

Any feedback?

Yeah I should have realized that this forum is mostly feeble-minded half-assed racist shit-heels and that no such networks are shared by any members.

One example of a disturbing development is one group's president urging people affected by a not-really-at-all disaster (apartments losing their cooking gas) to "get to go to a facility" as proof that the State cares about them and their living conditions.

Then there's the flavor of Obama campaiging, despite him being, you know, not eligible for another term.

Maybe if you wrote it in such a manner that it was more comprehensible. I have no clue what you are asking...do I belong to a hip-hop group who wants to cut my gas off so I can get free housing and hang out with Jay-Z?

 

[BetterCallSaul]

If you have such networks, do you note a recent incursion of hidden interests and promotion of more overtly political, white house-aligned rhetoric?

I'm sure there is...elections are coming up so they are probably trying to gather the troops so to speak, through community activism.

Lefty celebrities are typically the most vocal about their political views as is any average everyday person. A lot of students at my university proudly stuck Obama Biden bumpter stickers on their laptops, but I never saw a Ron Paul, Gary Johnson, or Mitt Romney bumper sticker on a laptop.

Leftist ideology has been mainstreamed and is seen as hip, edgy, and progressive (even though we all know it isn't 100% of the time like these sheeple think it to be.)

We need to make libertarianism more mainstream, so it has the same hip connotations as leftist political beliefs and is no longer seen as a "nerd club."

The arts/literary world also leans very left/socialist

Most of us here are the whitest nerds you ever met.

I am down with the hip-hop community. Hell, I can't wait for the next Vanilla Ice album to drop.

I haven't gone to a union meeting in twenty-two years, But they call and send junk in the mail a lot, around election time. Other than that, my wife pretty much has to drag me by my ankles to get me to go anywhere. So, not much of a chance for me to run into statist organizers.

Haha.

To be clear, some here are the reason my posts become less and less frequent. A lot of closet quasi-racists and wannabe funny guys. (the internet is full of them) Not a good representation for those seeking change. Trolls aren't usually so blatant. (I'm not referring to the person who just joined) It being off season and all I probably should expect as much.

To answer the OP most all hip hop has leftist undertones. Even those who rap for freedom or justice lean more towards a Noam Chomskey point of view. Many fail to understand the problem being, in most all cases, government intervention and a lack of a free market. They truly don't understand liberty in my eyes, not that I don't listen to the music anyways. Some of the messages are good. Lowkey, Logic, Immortal Technique.. people like that. I can't listen to a lot of the other. It brings you down.

Main stream rap is promoted and pimped to the vulnerable, impressionable youth of the ghettos. You could look into those who own the record labels and their connections to private prisons for starters. A lot is to keep the people down. Antagonize their feelings of an unjust world and direct them towards their narrative. Their elite narrative, that is. You see eight year old kids rapping about being a coke boy and you start to realize the severity of the problem. People here, a general statement as I do respect many here, aren't worried. That is until that little quasi-gangbanger pistol whips them or burglarizes their house. Then I hear calls for everyone being armed and race wars inevitable (lol) while not addressing the underlying issues related to the needless violence and crime.

A fucking joke.

Yes I know- what I am saying is, the tentacles of that tendency are surface-evident alongside connected emergent street movements.
