    Honestly it’s fine to believe in what you want but there’s legit no point bashing a religion due to a few cunts who are within a religion, you can legit say that about anything you are just pushing a pointless hate agenda then. But yeah the song is pretty shit there’s no denying that, Christian or not.

     

    most undergarments were invented and popularized by religious folk who deemed that jeans and denim were too sacred to touch the ass directly

  2. Glad they are using Shontay's voice more on this album, she has a wonderful voice. 

     

    It's a good album all round but my main gripe around their songwriting comes up again on this album. If anything I think they've taken a step backwards on this album in comparison to Let Me Leave.

    I can, but I'm not sure it'd be hugely clarifying, unless you really wanted to try to understand what I was saying. 

    I hear that you were just saying something very simple that you liked. But in that opinion, I was hearing the reflection of a misunderstanding that this song and band sort of alludes to, and sometimes speaks upon, directly. This particular one talking about a general attitude or style of existence that is like an empire, which creates a system of nearly mythological images/idols (dragons) in the form of accepted beliefs, practices, etc. In our empire, people blog about aesthetics as a means of self-validation, and they like to share their studies/knowledge/etc. as a form of expression. They are a walking, blogging empire, passing on the exact mode of living that has people stuck in an unnatural and petty cycle of dependence-- on work, history, doctors/pills, social validation/likes, etc. The way you focused on '1910-40 big mood aesthetics' sounded, to me, like a reflection of being in a high school or college class and hearing a student try to validate themselves by relating to an already established concept/totality that a group could all relate to (an external summary of a whole array of specific art/ideas, a whole genre of aesthetic -- 1910-40 big mood aesthetics) rather than just treating the individual piece of work that would have to be felt personally by means of its actual, internal value which can never be explained or proven, only understood and believed in, its real effects felt. Giver, to me, is hardcore -- a way of treating the raw, internal force of soul/will/agency that truly makes life into what it is. The cause behind the reaction of two chemicals.  And when I listen to it, I understand more, and become more. So to watch someone just comment on the outside and miss out on the inside, is like c'mon bruh, why were you focused on the outside? You missed the good part because your attention was distracted by pettier things. So in that sense, by you targeting the aesthetic, you were basically stating yourself as the exact opposite of Giver, which focuses on the inside/the personal first, and therefore realizes the bigger Empire is just an accumulation of the personal empires that are the average person who carries out a cycle that the empire/system reproduces in the form of likes, preferences, perceptions, and behaviors.  You might say "I just like it" or "I just don't like it,"  and that I'm just saying all this because I like it, which I would have no real proof in your eyes for disputing, but in my opinion, that's a little short-sighted, or momentary, and your genuine like and preference is something that has to be uncovered and cultivated, and one opinion can definitely be closer to true than another, even in terms of preference.  

    This all sounds quite pedagogical and long-winded, and is maybe no easier to understand, and all the easier to judge. That's why I initially just went with an emotive insult as a way of trying to evoke all this. It didn't work. But this usually doesn't either, but hey, maybe next person who says anything like this, you'll have something to relate back to and it won't be as confusing, less easy to judge as random or mystifying. Cheers. 

     

    bruh this site isn't worth the amount of paragraphs you are posting
