    Liberals are as susceptible to culture war bullshit as conservatives, hence, they think music is politics lol

      Can a song endanger the national security of China and threaten to subvert the power of the ruling Communist Party?

      No lol

      Everything is politics, of one sort or another, unless you’re a proper hermit. Which I guess could be possible.

          What’s not then? Music? Something that communicates feelings and ideas is not related to how we organize power in our societies? Seems naive to me.

            Exactly, has nothing to do with liberalism. The soviet union under stalin literally felt threatened by a black square.

              The USSR was not particularly liberal, the people had very few rights. And tbf, that’s a pretty scary black square, and Stalin was afraid of a lot of things. So, I can see it.

                Creating a distraction is political and using a distraction is political.

                The distraction, itself, doesn’t have to be political.

                And culture war is not politics.
