Are you sure it was simple misuse and not intentional?

 

I was being polite and diplomatic. I agree with people having to see between the lines instead of jumping into modern-day lynches that serve no purpose other than incessant virtue signaling - however delving into the “everyone is entitled to feel, think and say whatever they want because who are we to police that?” rhetoric is dangerous because it’s exactly what the far right extremists use as ammo. There are ideals and values that should be reprimanded and questioned when they put the safety and the existence of large groups of people at risk. I will not not intervene if/when that happens.

Advocating for nuance and then claiming to be a free speech advocate might turn out to be a dangerous exercise - specially when that term has been countlessly and grotesquely misconstrued and misused by fascists, homophobes, transphobes, racists, xenophobes, et al. I hate cancel culture as well but I’m a firm believer in accountability culture. You can express whatever you feel like but there are consequences to your actions if you cross certain lines or reach certain extremes. Let’s not turn a blind eye to problematic stances and perspectives as a counter-response to “cancel culture” and “mob mentality” because that lacks just as much nuance as what you’re criticizing.

I’m not sure if you’re referring to what I said, but I just want to clarify that I totally agree with what you’re saying here and that my statement was not inclusive/justifying of any sort of intolerance of the kinds you’ve mentioned! Just tying it back to the example of Lana and her past experiences of being excluded from mainstream feminist conversations. Thank you for bringing this up because it’s so important to make that distinction.

I've seen people talking about all but 2 or 3 tracks. It's crazy

Some people seem to have heard 'Taco Truck,' but I don't know where or how. Or maybe they're just seeking attention.

This is irrelevant to Lana´s music though. She never crossed the line in her lyrics to be considered hate speaker. All the controversy about her words is blown-out stupidity.

A snippet of Taco Truck leaked, but not the full track.

I asked Asmodeus (the demon of lust) to make Miley Cyrus suffer. I am not happy with these new developments. After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating.

Oh babe, you’re totally fine! I was actually referring to some things that Vertimus said that, while being surely well-intentioned, can be easily twisted into something more sinister. Asking for nuance doesn’t invalidate that are certain things (intolerance, prejudice, bigotry, etc) that require a more direct and objective moral stance. Not everything is black and white but not everything is grey either.

This conversation is happening because of a certain lyric contained in a certain song from the upcoming album. It’s incredibly relevant, as ever.

I like you, let's not fight or have bad feelings towards one another. 

 

Everything is fine and there are no hard feelings. We are all very passionate and connected to Lana which can lead to some intense discussions. :heart:

imo virtue signaling is far better than its alternative of virtue nihilism.

Has anyone transcribed the lyrics to Sweet? :')

 

I tried my hardest, but some things i couldn't discern :(

Spoiler

stars in my eyes

hiking up griffith

thinking about

who was said and what didn’t

 

it’s said (set?) in the midwest

wish i could tell you now

 

i wrote you a note

but i didn’t send it

‘cause thats the best method

the women had taught me about

 

what you dont really understand

ive got magic in my hand

stars in my eyes

 

i’m a different kind of woman

if you want some basic bitch

go to the beverlys and find her

 

im sweet

barefeet

 

if you wanna go where nobody goes

that’s where you’ll find me

 

in the sweet north country

if im not there come to my house on genesee

 

whatcha doin with your life

do you think about it

do you contemplate

where we came from

 

lately we’ve been making out a lot

not talkin’ ‘bout the stuff

that’s at the

very heart of things

 

do you want children?

do you wanna marry me?

do you wanna run marathons

on long beach by the sea

 

i’ve got things to do

[?] and

i wanna do all of them with you

do you wanna do them with me?

 

if you want someone

then just call me up

and remember where i’ll be

sweet

in bare feet

 

you can find me where no one will be

 

in the white summer

in the [northern ?]

in the valley

 

in the sweet north country

if i’m not there come to my house on genesee

How is her certain lyric relevant to what you typed out?

This right here is so important when discussing really any issue, but it should definitely be applies to Lana’s lyrics that are being discussed :true:

Perhaps, living in Europe, you did not grow up in a free speech society, as we used to have here and hopefully will again. If Nazis wanted to march, they were able to advertise the event and then do it. But that didn't mean another group wouldn't show up and protest loudly or even become violent, and the would-be Nazis would have to accept the consequences of their actions and idealogy, which might mean arrest, loss of a job, a broken jaw, or worse.

 

Look at Annie Mac and her form of 'limited free speech,' which is smothering and oppressive. I say, 'Let Annie talk' and let us loudly reject and mock her, but not attempt to silence her or anyone else. She used a number of tactics to attempt to shut down Lana before, and may do so again.

 

But Lana is visionary artist loved all over the globe, while Mac is probably a miserable individual who can only see the glass half-empty at best. "Lana's freedom oppresses me!" That's nonsense.
