Look, I love the fae jokes. Hozier looks like he was pulled from a bog after a 1,500 year nap. His lyrics are poetic and morbid and romantic in a very other worldly way. BUT He’s right. Hozier has talked A LOT about how his music could not, would not exist without decades of innovation and creativity by Black artists. His entire style is based on soul and gospel and blues, WHICH ARE GENRES CREATED BY BLACK PEOPLE.

“My first introduction to music [was] Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf, the music that my dad used to play in the house. From there, I just fell in love with the music coming out of black America. A lot of my folk influences would be coming from Ireland. There is absolutely no rock and roll without blues music. There is no blues music without one of the most horrendous atrocities of human trafficking in the last few centuries. It is, of course, a really difficult subject. Everything that’s popular music swings off the work and the achievements and the legacy of black artistry…”

So while I love the fae bog man jokes, we have to acknowledge the tremendous influence of Black artists. There’s no Hozier without Black music.

Also want to note we wouldn’t have any popuar genre of music without black musicians.

Rock? People like to pretend it was invented by a bunch of pasty Englishmen, but it was invented by black people in the American South. The first recorded Rock single was Rocket 88 by Ike Turner and Jackie Brenston

Hell, the woman credited with basically inventing rock guitar and is cities as an influence by Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, and Keith Richards was Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Rock only has a white face on it now because record executives figured out that if they stole it and put a white face on it they’d sell millions of copies. And they were right, because that’s how we got Elvis Presley. They tried to do the same thing decades later, but this time with hip hop and rap. Most were unsuccessful, your Vanilla Ices and Macklemores, but the few successes - Eminem - didn’t change the face of the genre like it did with Rock.

But even going beyond that.

Jazz? Black musicians.

Blues? Black musicians.

Funk? Black musicians.

Modern pop? Descended directly from Disco, which was from Black and gay musicians (remember when our communities were closely allied together and not pitted against each other *ahem*Pete Buttigieg*ahem*)

Even Country and American Folk music have roots in the Black music tradition.

I can’t think of a single genre around today outside Klezmer and folk music of European countries that don’t have at least some influence of black musicians, and even then I’m sure there’s some connections somewhere in history.

We owe black musicians and the African music tradition for basically everything we listen to today.

This is an amazing comic. Thank you to the author for putting everything into an easy to understand format.

Most people have a hard time reading scientific journals (and honestly scientists can have a hard time too) so it’s important to asses articles and information to figure out if they have support for the claims they make.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about vaccines. I am currently pursuing a bioengineering degree and would be more than happy to help everyone learn.

Capitalism is getting very much more dystopian very quickly

queeranarchism

It’s a matter of time before companies start their own Pod-communities and ‘strongly encourage’ workers to live there and set up rules like no alcohol and no defamation of the company in the Pods.

As nightmarish as this is (and it is), this is only new for documented white people. From seasonal archiculture workers to construction workers to sweatshops, ‘sleep where you work and live your whole life controlled by your boss and coworkers pressured to spy on you’, has been very much a thing for a looooooooong time.

This is one of many things capitalism has always done to workers and now they’re going “hhmmmm.. if I can do this to some workers, why not all of them? if I present it as a hip new way of urban living people for the ‘freelancers’ that I exploit, I might even be able to do it without the armed guards that run my sweatshops and plantations.”

I don’t really get the issue with the “sex is banned” part tho

queeranarchism

I don’t want to hyperfocus on that part because ‘live without privacy, convert your bed into a desk by day and just work work work’ is distopian enough as it is and I don’t really want to distract from a conversation about the new fuedalism to just talk about sex.

But can you not understand how that monotomous soulless life defined by work becomes even more soulless when you are not permitted to engage in (what is for most allosexuals) one of the most intimate moments of recreational joy and interpersonal connection? & how much it says about our lack of power when we live in places that control our sexual and reproductive lives?

yyyyddmmsupremacy-deactivated20

well yeah, but it’s communal living. I mean you’re spot on with the rest but idk, a ban on sex when you share your living quarters with like two dozen other people? it doesn’t seem that deep tbh.

queeranarchism

You know, I’ve spend time in socialist and anarchist self-organized communal living spaces where lots of people shared bedrooms because they liked it and all these spaces had a place for sex. They all acknowledged that that was a thing many humans loved and valued and so they organized to make that good thing possible. Some had a spare room with a lock on the inside that couples could use, others had dorms where sex was okay and dorms where it was not so people could choose where to sleep. It is not difficult to have communal living for those that like sharing bedrooms and also organize a place for sex.

This, however, is not communal living. This is crammed, dehumanized corporate living. This is squeezing as many people as possible into a space defined by work. The inhabitants own nothing in this space and have no control over their environment, they can’t even paint the walls let along organize the space to meet their needs. In such a space, sex is made impossible on purpose:

“We built the pods facing each other so the community polices itself”

The people that made this could have organized privacy and opportunities for sex. They deliberately did not do this, they dilerabetely designed the space for minimum privacy. The purposeful banning of sex from this space is just one part, but one very obvious part, of the way these spaces are not build for humans, they are build for employees whose whole identity should be limited to their productivity.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, mining communities and factory towns encouraged workers to join their ranks by offering company housing and company stores, where workers and their families wouldn’t have to worry about money, because their rent and whatever they wanted from the store would simply be deducted from their paychecks.

Didn’t take long for workers to realize they were spending over 100% of their paychecks, and would have to work the rest of their lives in soul-crushing poverty to pay the company back.

Slavery isn’t gone, it just changed its name.

Adding to what @robstmartin has to say:

“I sold my soul to the company store” isn’t just a line in a song, it’s about Miner’s Scrip. When coal mines forced their employees to live in company housing, paid them in company credit usable only in the literal company store, and they charged astronomical rates for rent and food.

Most miners ended up in multi-generational debt because their wages were so low they could not afford the basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter and ended up owing so much to the company store their grandchildren would essentially be enslaved to the company to pay off the debt.

This becomes especially chilling when you realize Cheeto Supremo ran on a policy of “bring back coal jobs”.

I’m so tired of stereotypes that come along every Black women. And the fact that they were created by the white media really pisses me off! I am very proud of all Black girls and I admire all their accomplishments despite the hate of the modern society.

#BlackGirlMagic is not just a hashtag, it strengthens our self-respect and emphasizes our importance!
