Honestly, I believe reading the communist manifesto is important regardless of your personnal politics, because of how influencial it was and still is.
Don't be a stupid illiterate and read capital is you really want to know the influence. The manifesto was propaganda for proles that were too stupid to grasp the fundamental concepts.
No they just jerk themselves off about how Brave New World (a slightly less mainstream book) is so much better despite being about totally different things.
Brave New World was extremely fucking boring I thought. Also had a really crap film adaption where they replaced the savage with (I'm not even joking here) a fucking cowboy.
I get the tarzan and the orgy but the monk part's throwing me off. And yeah, the rats is 1984. Winston's biggest fear was rats so they used them against him in room 101.
Not as a means of control, the whole point is that it's all self imposed. There is no powerhungry organization that wants people to wallow in decadence, the society progressed to such a point that everyone was made happy but along that pursuit had gradually given up their humanity. It's a critique on consumerism and specifically points out that we don't need a malicious force to drive us into dystopia.
Well they're comparable, BNW was the prediction that society would lead itself to ruin by pursuit of consumerism/hedonism where as 1984 was concerned with some authoritative power maliciously controlling the populous through thought control and propaganda.
They're the most mainstream/influential dystopian novels so it's natural they'd be compared. People concerned with authoritarianism quote 1984, people concerned with moral decay quote BNW.
Yeah nobody you see say "this is like 1984" has ever read 1984. That's especially true of the fringe-righties you see pushing it as if the book wasn't about fascism as well. They think it was only about communism.
/r/Drama is one of the most malevolent, cruel, coldhearted online communities you'll ever find, and even as a supporter of free speech it appalls me that Reddit would allow such a vile, festering hub of bigotry and sadism to exist. You think [slur]town was bad?
That subreddit, if you pick up on the dog-whistles (and many don't even bother with that-- say want you want about Stormfront, at least it bans "n[slur]"), will reveal itself to you as Reddit's number one hub for the web's most hardened Nazis, Klansmen, Fascists, and Gamergaters.
You'll notice on the sidebar that it encourages members to be as dramatic as possible. That's intentional. They encourage arguments in the comments section. That's intentional.
You know the Three Minute Hate (it's from this underrated book 1985, give it a read, it's scary how much it parallels our society)? It's like that, they want to stoke the flames of reactionary rage so they continue to dogpile every progressive and minority who enters the subreddit, normalizing these evil feelings.
They brigade from subreddit to subreddit, having an entire cabal of mods spanning hundreds of communities, gaslighting lived experiences of the oppressed and unashamedly bolstering Reddit's homegrown white supremacy movement. They've kink-shamed hundreds of people too, some even... to death.
I fear that /r/drama may be producing an entire army of Dylann Roofs and Elliot Rogers, and I highly suggest that nobody dares visit that horrible subreddit, lest you potentially fall victim to its corruptive aura.
He never said he liked his crimes he likes his music. You have normie taste if you don't listen morally wrong artists. Too much good music from horrible people.
it's a little more complicated than that given the context of the time (which I assume you're aware of given that you know of the Salzburg thing). The concept of culturally German is more than just the language and has existed for longer than the current nation-state (to the point where being Austrian at that time would inherently include being German).
Obviously it all gets muddied up nowadays, especially with a certain lacking retrospectiveness and assumptions as to what words and phrases (such as "he was German") mean, but I think it's fair to say that for all intents and purposes that Mozart was as German as one could be at the time (especially taking into account his own statements on the matter).
I don't say this out of any nationalist fervour (and it irritates me when nationalists of either side lay claim to figures such as Mozart in this way), I just find the development of various "German" "nationalities", groups, and languages throughout history very interesting.
Isn't that backwards? Since most artists (of any kind not just music, but like painters etc are the same) are deviants in one form or another, isn't it normal to like artists who are deviant? Wouldn't the non-normie tastes be morally pure christian folk bands...oh wait they are probably all pedos too.
He made up fun lies about his contemporaries. For instance he claimed that
Brahms was an avowed enemy of the feline tribe. Unlike Scarlatti, who was passionately fond of chords of the diminished cats, the phlegmatic Johannes spent much of his time at the window, particularly of moonlit nights, practising counterpoint on the race of cats, the kind that infest backyards of dear old Vienna. Dr. Antonin Dvorik had made his beloved friend and master a present of a peculiar bow and arrow, which is used in Bohemia to slay sparrows. In and about Bohemia it is named in the native tongue, ‘Slugj hym inye nech’. With this formidable weapon did the composer of orchestral cathedrals spend his leisure moments. Because of arduous practice Brahms always contrived to bring down his prey, and then – O diabolical device! – after spearing the poor brutes, he reeled them into his room after the manner of a trout fisher. Then he eagerly listened to the expiring groans of his victims and carefully jotted down in his note-book their ante-mortem remarks.
I love how people will scoff at a post on 4chsn but as soon as its on reddit it suddenly becomes a fact and not a larp. Fucking no lifers eat any shit up you put down here. And the fact that he's dead so he can't actually defend any accusations, I notice how they come out of the woodwork then. If it comes out of his exwfie Angela's mouth then I'll buy it, until then keep farming your karma.

Which one was which again?
Is it the tarzan monk orgy, bookburning, or the rat eating your face.
1 Tyestor 2018-06-03
Dunno about the other two, but Fahrenheit 451 is the bookburning one.
1 BumsYourDad 2018-06-03
Brave New World's the one with the wonder drug that keeps everyone happy and complacent. Basically excess as a means of control.
1 aef823 2018-06-03
Okay BNW's the Tarzan monk orgy, 451's the bookburning one, and I guess that means 1984 is rat eating your face.

True. It's a really old tradition. I can think off the top of my head of:
Dr. Dre: beating women
Ike Turner: see Dr. Dre
James Brown: see Ike Turner
John Lennon: see James Brown, also was an awful father
Michael Jackson: you know, that
Pete Townsend: bought CP for an as-yet unpublished research project
Richard Wagner: hated /u/annoysthegoys
Paul Robeson: was a tankie
R. Kelly: into pee before Daddy made it cool
Morrissey: all-around twat
Mozart: loved poop jokes, probably was into scat too, knowing Germans

1 dootwiththesickness 2018-06-03
The greatest trick the Austrians ever pulled was convincing the world that Mozart was an Austrian and Hitler was a German.
Seriously though, he was born in what was then the Holy Roman Empire, and his father was a Bavarian.
1 HagenKopter 2018-06-03
He was born in Salzburg which is Austria.

If anything he's "Salzburgian", but the only tie he has to Germany is the language.
