Look at this idiot


So self-assured of his opinions, so insistant he has to bang on the drums to get across a point noone cares about. A travesty of British music. Compared to him, Kenny G looks like a gentleman. That is why we maintain there is only one way to prevent against the punk contagion: the classic kick in the arse.

penny rimbaud on Twitter: "Covid-19 is the result of genetic tampering, as are the so-called vaccines being employed to counter it. Beneath all this, there is the underlying stench of eugenics. Watch out for Big Pharma brainwash. We are as we are as nature that so we be.

The man has the cheak to rant about big pharma brainwash without understanding the politics his band advocated which supported the dominance of big pharma.

I find his daddy, Alexandr Dugin to be an interesting fascist troll. I detest him, granted, but I am not horrified him unlike the liberals, mainly because he is good at exposing their multiculti pathologies.

One of the best books of the 20th century. Limonov stirs up a poet's rage against everything that is anti-human, everything that is repressive and stifling. His solution - tear it all down. Eddie-Baby leaves the USSR for America with promises of riches, women, drugs, and artistic liberty. He finds abject poverty, his wife leaves him, wine and vodka still suffice, and unique voices are marginalized as much in America as they are in Russia; in short, nothing changes. Passion and love are juxtaposed with the rote boredom of work and urban life. Along the way, Limonov takes aim at political activists, Russians, Americans, men, women, and especially our predilection to surrender to life. He rarely misses his mark. The sentiment is close to that one found in the romantics, especially the 19th century rebellion against urbanity and the industrial mode of life. There's a short section early in the book where Limonov accuses his reader of being a slave to work, of having a petty bourgeois mentality, and a pathetic soul. This is capped off by the admonition, "You're ****!" [apologize for amazon's filter] It's hard to disagree, put in those terms. With Eddie as my accuser, I'd confess to anything. Ignore the reviewers who are shocked by Limonov's provocations. What is shocking is not sleeping with a black man on the street, but living a beige life in the face of so much possibility. For those interested, Limonov's politics also show an early alignment with national bolshevism and a repudiation of anglo liberalism. We see somewhat weaker critiques of the early Bolsheviks, and especially a condemnation of the post-Khrushchev Russian bureaucratic state. Limonov's prose has a tendency to reach hysterical levels of emotion; whether this is a good or bad mark will probably depend on the reader.

Sounds fun but will probably need to listen to that sunshine anderson record 100 times before reading it just to innoculate myself from getting carried away.

I mean, chances are he's a bit annoying but if anyone can find it online we could all read the first page. I'll have a look.

I saw someone on Twitter predicting Curtis will end up talking about Dugin sooner or later.
It’s inevitable - although according to Charles Clover’s Black Wind, White Snow (which I also highly recommend), Dugin’s ideas (much like those of Limonov and Surkov) are no longer as influential in Russia as they once were.

Yeah that's true. Putin was hopeless at trying to resurrect a russian nationalism.

Could you enlarge on that? It looks like he's done a pretty good job of it, from where I'm sitting, although it seems to be focused on the Tsarist era rather than the Soviet era (there was apparently very little fuss made about the centenary of the October revolution a few years ago, for example).

Long story short russia sees itself as a superpower when in reality it is a regional power that (over)expends itself.

There was a book written by a Chinese (I believe) academic that goes into this. bobo lo I think his name was. will try and find it.
