Like I said, what isn’t political?

[@Skillseboy1]

@@elleaubry3772 Like I said, philosophy. Genuine philosophy. It doesn't concern itself with the minute goings on of daily life and all its internal strides and conflicts. It doesn't concern itself with problems and solutions. Philosophy revolves around questions. Questions about the nature of our universe and ourself within it. It doesn't claim any factual truths, but rather proposes possible answers. It offers various ways to see the world and go through one's life. But it never forces, only brings to light. Genuine philosophy isn't political.

I found it helpful, yet the mosaic image of broken fragments as a description to replace a melting pot. Could be more alive, such as "CROSS POLENATION "WHICHE TAKES PLACE IN BOTH TIME AND SPACE AND IS THERFORE A FLUID PROCESS ALLOWING MUSICIANS AND COMPOSERS TO SHARE. THANK YOU. ED

It is about frequency. Check into it.

[@sciencehub12]

what is the idea to reveal about?

[@rvaguitars]

Musicians have long been among the first to speak out against atrocities. If you want safe easy music stick to the radio and stop your whining

[@Atgitsingg67uyyji]

Punk rock? Lol

[@TheDarkXn]

Political/Anti-Political stuff that makes people THINK is great!
I miss the days when Metallica still had enough balls and Punk edge to not be afraid to voice an opinion via their lyrics
