      44:50 no, KK, the court DID NOT find that against AJ, the court issued a default judgement and AJ was never permitted to argue the merits on his case. The court simply declared that AJ wasn't supplying all the documents he was supposed to, despite supplying tens of thousands of them. AJ was totally railroaded. You can't even say the trial was a sham, *_because there literally was no trial_* except to calculate the damages that they assumed he was guilty of causing.

    the true genius of ariel is his ability to replicate many different styles of music from different eras and decades, then puts his own unique spin on things. one song may sound like a pop hit from the 60s and then another sounds like some weird futuristic 80s new wave song, then back to a black sabbath-esque rock tune. his recording technique is also a lot of his style and his appeal “lo-fi” he does an excellent job at making music that sounds so familiar yet so totally different. ariel is one of the most important artists of our time and its terrible whats happened to him but i have much more respect for him now then i ever did before

    Man I first heard Ariel Pink when I was 16 in 2005 or so… this guy has been a trailblazer in underground indie rock. EVERYONE liked him, everyone was stoked when he released new content. He had similar fan bases to groups like animal collective and deerhunter.
    I knew there would be hate against him for attending the rally, but I had no idea labels would drop him and try to erase him and make him broke.

    One of the big indie labels need to step up above the woke BS and sign Ariel to another record deal. He's one of the most creative musicians alive, nobody can do what he does. As a musician it's sad to see these labels whom I support treat their artists so poorly because of their personal beliefs. Ariel could release his own music without a label and there are still many fans who support his work.

    This was super interesting but a little difficult to watch. It felt like Ariel and the Triggermometry cast were effectively saying the same thing but were talking past each other. Ariel's point was that it is the will of a certain group of people with a certain mindset that is dictating public disclose, but the Triggermometry cast viewed his emphasis on there being a "group of people" and calling them "they" as a claim about a maniacal, coordinated cabal planning to rule the world.
    Groupthink in practice looks like autonomous individuals spontaneously developing a perspective, gravitating towards people with that shared perspective, discussing their shared vision, and those individuals going out into the world to make their vision a reality. People with power and influence with a shared perspective will move the world in a certain direction and when they all meet in a room and outsiders learn of it and those outsiders dont emphasize how spontaneous that meeting was, it will sound like they are describing a cabal. It seemed pretty clear he didn't believed in a cabal once he said "by they, I mean us" but his point was not understood so the conversation became circular.

    KK repetitively harangues Pink with the question "Yes, yesy, but, who are 'THEY'"? to which Pink replies each time, "its 'US... all of us but some are *following a principle* that is willing, *individual by individual* , our destruction (paraphrase)"
    and KK is not satisfied with what is a logical and rather sophisticated response to KK's inference instead that Pink believes in a masterminded conspiracy...
    What's galling is that KK himself at 1:12:00 refers to "those people" when talking about the moral code that Trump was opposed to, which Pink (who is no silver tongue unfortunately, failing to emphasise that these threatening motives are based different values/principles) identifies parsimoniously and sufficiently succinctly as "globalists". But KK is never satisfied with Pink's sound responses that point to "they" as "those OF US whose principles are globalist/woke and are against USA/West/(Christian values) in a war for cultural hegemony etc".
    KK keeps pushing to characterise Pink's position as conspiratorial - see 1:29:00 to 1:31:30 - What do you think KK is up to with this stubborn and fruitless questioning?

    Ariel made the musically boring 00s brilliant with his albums House Arrest, The Doldrums, Sacred Famous, FF>>, Lover Boy and Worn Copy. Then he got semi-famous in 2010 with the Before Today album. When he performed a fantastic rendition of "Round & Round" on Fallon I thought he was gonna be as big as Nirvana. Didn't quite happen but he did a couple more brilliant LPs Mature Themes & Pom Pom. He was always a bit of a provocative contrarian in the mould of Johnny Rotten, Mark E Smith, Morrissey etc. so he wasn't going to appeal to everyone. He wound up a lot of people so when those haters found they had a useable weapon to destroy him they used it with full force.
    I don't have to personally like or agree with musicians I admire. I didn't know if I was going to want to hear what he had to say but I think he did really well and this talk has actually endeared me further to him. Let's hope he's top of the charts in 2023.

    Always enjoyed Ariel's music. Also, it annoys the fuck out of me when people make all these tired old points against the idea a "conspiracy" could happen. How can they keep it a secret? It's not a secret, we're talking about it. No one is that competent. We went to the fucking moon, we built huge cities, social engineering is not something so complicated it's unfeasible. Who are "they"? The WEF, Davos, anyone who runs a large bank, etc. The global elite that everyone always talks about. It is beyond obvious that there's a group of people essentially trying to control the world. It seems like people make these tired points to come off like a serious intellectual that doesn't believe in "nonsense", and to protect themselves from social stigma. Despite the overwhelming amount of evidence, they still make these arguments. It's exactly the same thing that used to/does happen with UFOs.

      I'm so fed up with these same tired old arguments that people use to justify their belief that a "conspiracy" can't happen. The leaders of the world, the CEOs of the biggest companies meet at least once a year publicly, brought together by the likes of the WEF and Davos group. Then, after these meetings, they all implement the exact same rules, regulations, and procedures, all fueled by the exact same ideology, and I'm supposed to believe that's a coincidence? When we're talking about the masses, yes it's groupthink, but when we're talking about the global elite it's entirely deliberate. They might not have a step by step plan, but they sure as hell have the same goals. This is all out in the open, you can read their plans on their own websites. It's just mind boggling how in the face of overwhelming evidence people make these same old arguments, probably in an attempt to avoid the stigma of being called a conspiracy theorist.

      Well said ..I think often most people lack the tools to move forward and spiral down by holding onto their thoughts. One way of tackling this is to look up Byron Katie worksheets ( free) and do them honestly and religiously ….then anyone can become empowered, whatever is going on around them. Yes it was hard and despicable what happened to Ariel, but actually he doesn’t have to suffer. Meditation with a good teacher is also so helpful…now many online ( best are free ) . Without the tools, people often spiral down, fixating on what happened, their beliefs etc …I see this is what happened to Harry and Meghan…I hate what they did but see they don’t have the tools and unless they get the right help, they will really end up going insane …like Ariel will ( of course Ariel did nothing wrong and is very likeable and will hopefully get a lot of support).

    I can very much relate to Ariel's story. I've been involved in my local music scene and it has been terrifying to watch the radicalization of the arts into Ultra Woke Leftwing radicalism that sees support for Trump, in any capacity, as the Ultimate Enemy of all that they hold sacred.
    If only they realized that without free speech or a halfway decent economy they won't exist... I also expressed some views my local arts scene didn't agree with (being vaccine skeptical) and several "friends" tried to disparage me on Facebook and started to ignore me when I was in public.
    Some people did express support and solidarity quietly and presumably under the condition of silence... which in of itself was eye-opening. We need more people who aren't afraid to speak the truth. I tell myself I need to get out there and tell more truth in the music scene and everywhere else for that matter. If we don't stand up for what we believe in, we will lose everything to this quickly-spreading insanity!

Are trying to double down on this idea, "well that doesn't mean anything was planned, that's just how people are." Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.. He said it clearly, "It's not organic" and he's correct. In the mid 90s to the 2000s is when the underground subcultures of indie, punk and metal got nearly fully appropriated into the corporate thought police system. The internet was fundamental to this happening. Because of the internet we all live and work in the same office now. When you get a memo, you fall in line, or else!... I'd say Clinton deregulating FM radio was a major shift pre internet. Many independent music labels were bought by the majors and continued to operate under the same "store front". So now people don't create culture, culture creates people. The organic (by the people, for the people) youth culture all got swooped up into the mass media's orange man bad syndrome. Nothing unites people like a common enemy. Artists like Ariel, they get accepted by the scene, but they didn't come from the scene, and they aren't part of the scene. He kept his head above water while everyone else was busy fitting in and getting programed. That's why they made a concentrated effort to take him out. Nearly no spiritual and/or cultural movement has been without music because it unites hearts and minds. Control the music, control the people, and it has ALWAYS been this way. When art and music slide downhill, the rest of civilization will follow. Its a lot to unpack, lol..

They had no problem with him until J6, which means they weren’t discriminatory until the mob outrage “forced their hand” I.E., they allowed themselves to become discriminatory out of fear- that’s not an acceptable reason by law, it can be strongly argued. Would it be acceptable to drop a Muslim from a record label because they were in Saudi Arabia during the stoning of a woman to death? Or because they were in Afghanistan during these recent executions of citizens carried out by the govt for protesting? Should they be dropped just because they are also Muslim, like the Afghan govt?

      Yes. This is the tricky distinction: certain things people say will have legally acceptable consequences (like if it can be *causally linked* to a stampede or something), but *why* is political speech having consequences? Political speech is protected under the 1st amendment, Just like speaking religious beliefs- the right to preach in church whatever your religious beliefs are regardless of how insane others might find them is *protected from discriminatory punishment* .This means employers, businesses etc cannot discriminate against you because you believe that or because your religion or politics “*associates*” you with someone else of that belief. It’s very underhanded how some people are now trying to use this slight of hand to say political beliefs, which are protected, should be discriminated against in the workplace, or by businesses- both of those are illegal- even if it’s only because someone shares the beliefs with someone who did something illegal.
      This case is *especially* despicable because it’s not something Ariel said or did *himself* that is the supposed reason for discriminating against him.
