no what comes first is an observation…which you can make about anything…including society…
only a self inflated STEM-oid would take a joke in the OP and use it to delegitmamize an entire field of science based on vibes
having a BA in physics doesnt make you able to disprove social sciences, dont be like bobby fischer.
I just think it’s been glorified to the point people who have no experience with ghetto culture outside of rap music start acting like they thugs n shit. Like “gangster” shit started happening everywhere with a shitload of people fully embracing not only the visual look but the “hustler” “gangster” lifestyle.
My perspective on this, is that the chicken came before the egg so to speak.
Rappers dont glorify these things anymore than metal bands singing about decipitating hundreds of people mean it; all art is fiction, we wont be calling a horror film writer a ‘glorification of violence’, we call it a fantasy, a reflection of reality; these people observe reality and reflect it in art.
Now, does some rap stray into reality? Sure, so does all art, unless we fully remove the human from art it will always involve a real person.
Voting for a liberal continues the cycle of underclass exploitation either way, id say the middle class cocaine user and the politican locking up millions of people into small prison cells for drug use has a much bigger hand in creating and perputating the cycle of violence that dominates liberal society in america.
To accent my point and show how the way you are thinking is a symptom of a moral panic, something that takes a few examples and inflates it into a wider group…
90% of drill artists banned from making music in the UK dont have a criminal record…85% of those banned without a criminal record are black.
Its the censoring of the mental production of black youths; the upper class do not want a culture based on anti-authoritianism to emerge.
noise music is unironically great and the justified reponse to capitalism ruining music
its all about the context of how you listen to it as much as the music itself, there is no bad art, just bad listeners.

I get this is an unpopular opinion but 99% of the time I hear this take its just barely masked racism.
so what im reading is 4-5, 16-23, 25-43 and 45-59 are safe to touch
so basically no better than the UK but you get 3-4x the salary, and sometimes have to pay for healthcare?
(the NHS is fucked)
I imagine the UK has stronger labor laws to protect workers
ahahahaha
no
in the UK you are basically ‘at will’ for the first two years of any job, you can be fired for no reason.
Always rign up avacados as potatos.
My friend did this for a year while working as a chef when given money to get get the morning produce for the kitchen, he would pocket the change.
The article you linked is about brutal mistreatment and forced “disinfection” of people crossing a border. As horible as that is, do you truly believe that is the same scale of evil as systematic genocide?
I highlighted the part relevant in the reply above, to further explain America invented the gas chamber as a way to ‘medicalize’ executions and attempt to make them more ‘humane’. Hitler was inspired by this ‘scientific’ approach to executions that he replicated the design while carrying out his holocaust by using higher concentrations of Zyklon B, which in low doses acts as a disinfectant, and in high doses kills.
In regards to actual genocides though, Id point to the Korean War (they wanted to drop a nuke on Korea, even in South Korea american troops slaughtered 300,000+ civillians and then installed a military dictatorship) gulf war (2 million civallians dead) and Vietnam (Free fire zones, agent orange) as examples of genocides carried out last century/recently, and then obviously the founding genocide of the Native American population.
Also I would say that given America has the highest prison population, in the history of mankind; of which are mostly political prisoners arrested on drug charges, or as a consequence of the drug war (a political war), the ongoing genocide of black americans is yet to be resolved.
Where do you think Hitler got the infulence to use the gas chambers?

America has sucsesfully carried out multiple genocides, as recently as a decade ago.
The Nazis failed, America didnt.
‘American Liberal’ is more extreme than any of the above
Ah, I see what you mean, anyone who disagrees with you is a child. America is a one party state, just in typical american extravagance they have two of them.
