Bill Evans play on “Kind of Blue”.

Are there different levels of insanity? Looks like there sure are. Chopping your schmeckel off and wearing lipstick is just moderately insane. Ordinary, run of the mill insane. But ending musical notation is extremely insane.

Still trying to decide if the world is mildly, moderately, or extremely insane.

Think about: if there is hatred of God there is also hatred of His image and since we are created in His image, the logical conclusion is hatred of people.

Correct.

But I can not make them stop hating God.

But I may, just may, be able to stop them from destroying other people. Although, alas, I do not think I have any power to stop them from destroying themselves.

The source of all of this is Satanic for sure.
Those who follow it are of their father the devil.

John 8:44
You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Looks like a woke case of pianist envy.

This all would lead one to believe that Pol Pot is the spiritual and ideological mentor of all Woke and SJWs.

I've been thinking the same thing. The woke SJWs want to turn us all into illiterate savages living communally at the bare subsistence level, like the Cambodian jungle tribesmen that Pol Pot idolized.

Lower standards...
...and lower...
...and lower...

That's the decay of a civilisation.

It will decay until there's nothing left to protect, to defend, or to pass on to subsequent generations.

That's the way of decadence.

Can Caligula be far behind?

I don’t quite understand why conservatives are so passive about this insanity. If someone accuses them of being racist, they should ask by whose definition they are racist. Ronald Reagan’s? Margaret Thatcher’s? Winston Churchill’s? Thomas Sowell’s? Clarence Thomas’s? Cardinal Francis Arinze’s?

I have an observation.

The modern University is a product of White European culture. The degree system is a product of White Europeans.

Therefore, we should abolish universities and instead implement whatever was used in the Black African civilizations before Whites taught these Black people how to enslave their neighbors.

I wonder when we will reach Peak Stupidity.

Black notation on white paper; see how white dominates black? Of course that’s racist
Have you ever considered using chalk on slate?

Nope, but I think schools use white board and dry markers now.

If they’re truly serious that anything that existed coincidentally to slavery is racist, then it’s time to ban rocks, old trees, and dirt, among things.

Better, they should reject all things associated with or created by whites. Let’s start with electricity, penicillin, steam engines, gasoline, windmills, airplanes, logic, democracy, natural law, physics, dynamite, geometry, light bulbs, air conditioning, and, of course, that most magnificent and saintly of inventions, Thomas Crapper’s U-Bend plumbing trap.

(A fuller list would take quite some time — oh, unless you use that other white invention, the computer. Thankfully, they’ll want to keep for themselves some of the lesser of whites’ inventions, especially Marxism and the capital gains tax.)

I suppose that the Black musical heritage with with for example works by Scott Joplin or Duke Ellington that are available for future generations in racist sheet music should be burned in woke bonfires. We are seeing the same erasing of history no different than done by the Taliban, ISIS, Pol Pot, the Red Guard and the Nazis.

The only legitimate response is to demand these people seek counselling for a debilitating co-dependent relationship.

A man with hearing problems brought a complaint against his shrink, claiming that the doctor kept saying he and his best friend were co-defendants. “I’m no criminal!” he said to the lawyer.

it seems some fail to accept that there is such a thing as western culture, music being one form. it was this western culture that either their parents or that they themselves accepted they would be immersed in, should they decide to domicile in the West.

until the complainers can find a way to write music without writing music they should just stop at stupid and not go further into publically insane.
