Controversial Pearl Jam show poster featuring dead Donald Trump

[americanwoman]

Context is obviously foreign to you and Lost on you since Nugent remains extremely ACTIVE in the #45 administration, raising tons of money for GOPs, as well as promoting Weapons of War that mass slaughter My People and Children.

Pearl Jam is ZERO compared to the GOP Racists you falsely equate them to. You obviously missed Nugent and Sarah Palin disrespecting the Picture of First Lady Clinton in the White House, didn’t you.

So much for all of the ‘hangings’ by the TEA party of President Obama in Your Eyes.

Why don't you start a thread then about those happenings and we can discuss it there??

I denounced those hangings like I denounce this and in order to denounce this I don't need to bring up past instances of people acting like morons from the other side to somehow make this look better.

Oh come on. This was going on 6 months before the election. And you can claim its Trump being divisive all you like, but the facts tell a far different story. People are completely mentally unhinged, and be honest...most of them cant even answer why. Go back and look at the ***** hat brigade. They are STILL using the same lie today that they used then to justify their hatred. And maybe thats the key. When you have to lie to make your claims, it doesnt condemn your target...it condemns yourself.

I think that facts certainly show that Trump is divisive, I don't think the Republic has been split this badly in modern history and it's because he's President and he acts in ways to enflame those divisions, not heal them. So there's no "lie" there.

The lie, if there is one, is that the cover art here is "mainstream" and acting as if these sorts of things hadn't happened before.

Free speech isn't always pretty, but if they weren't calling for people to take action then I don't see the problem. Of course, there's nothing wrong with people using their own freedom of speech to criticize Pearl Jam as they see fit.

We are having a 'discussion'. There is no level of "whats so wrong" beyond is it right or wrong. YOU make the claim it is out of line...I said essentially...I dont give a ****. So why are you asking ME what is so wrong with it?

Its an emblem of leftist hatred. I dont think thats 'so wrong' at all. I just think its very telling.

Meh...maybe it's your hatred of lefties that has me confused... I figured with all the generalizing and random cusses and capitalizations you could help me figure this out, as you present as being worked up about it. I guess this is just your resting state, my bad.

That's a run of the mill poster. Not hardly up to the standards of the Dead Kennedys and the scores of other Punk Rock flyers that were all DIY. And boy do Right-wingers like to cry a lot. Political figures have always been used in pop art/band ads.

Trump is divisive. But he isnt the cause of the hatred. Thehatred is from a bunch of adults acting like children because they didnt get their way.



Thats not Trump.

I despise leftists. Mindless twats the lot of them. Liberals are cool. Leftists arent worth the water to put them out if they were on fire.

I guess you have a definition of "Leftist" all sorted out in your head...hehe... How would you define a "Leftist"?

Mindless angry hate filled twats bent on ridiculous socialist ideas and committed to the notion that someone else owes them a living and sustainment.



They look a lot like this stupid jagoff.

Hmmm...will have to check out the vid when I get home, dang firewalls.

I get hating folks because of methodology, but hating folks because of difference of economic ideologies seems like wasted energy. Do you actually hate all socialists, or just evangelical socialists? hehe

I didnt say I hate them, I said I despise them. Theres a difference. And while I dont have much use for socialists...I'm fine with socialists that live their own happy existence int heir own happy socialist countries. Not my business in the least. Whatever the **** turns you on.

Fair enough.

So...after all that...do you have the same confusion I have as to why this image was supposedly so controversial?

As I said...I think it paints the band as unhinged hate filled leftists. Beyond that...I dont much care about the album cover either way.

 

[SonOfDaedalus]

Its a shame about Pearl Jam. Such potential. I have a mint condition limited run recording of their first live broadcast...only 107 original copies produced. But they went stagnant.

Time to burn your Perl Jam collection along with your Robert DeNiro movies and NFL jerseys.

Meh...or marketing geniuses. Look at home much people are talking about the band...hehe... When divisiveness is what's most plentiful, makes sense that people monetize it. But even if it is an artistic expression, vs. a branding exercise, I think there are more ways to interpret the image. Maybe they're huge Trump supporters, and feel like his is being unfairly murdered by his detractors... hehe I don't think there is enough here to label anything or anyone "unhinged hate filled leftists".

I have a theory on that. Its sort of like Miley Cyrus. When you have to dye your arm pit hair weird colors and go naked to monetize your product, its a pretty good indicator that you have outrun your talent.

You post with the same level of emotion as people in videos like that.

You're accusing others of being mindless but I'm almost certain your statement is meaningless and you don't understand that.

You said, "ridiculous socialist ideas." What's makes an idea socialist? And are there any socialist ideas that you agree with?

Suuuuuuure I do...

But apparently I DO grab a lot of ******s.
