Morrissey's worldview "I'm for plain text"


"Morrissey praises the Brexit referendum, defends Kevin Spacey and calls Berlin a "rape capital" because of its open borders. seriously?"

Whether the Briton Steven Patrick Morrissey, 58, a musician just Morrissey calls, now Genius is or Schrat, self-actor or choleric poet, will probably never settle final. Certainly the man from Manchester, who became famous in the eighties as a singer of pop band The Smiths, is a great eccentric of pop. Whether concert or interview, he maintains the pose of the diva. The meeting took place on the occasion of his new album "Low in High School" in Los Angeles; It was arranged at very short notice and then postponed several times, domination gestures want to be maintained. After all, Morrissey is ready to talk. However, the photographer is referred by one of his managers rude of the room: "Get out of my hotel!" The Polaroid photo was taken by the interviewer.

SPIEGEL: Mr Morrissey, in your new song "Spent the Day in Bed", you recommend that you no longer see any news. A serious proposal?

Morrissey: Yes. People should stop doing so for their own sanity. You have to stop. The news is just social engineering, and it's about control, not information. There are no more messages. Only control.

SPIEGEL: That sounds like Trump's fake news, but you just spoke out against Trump at a concert.

Morrissey: Trump has received so much attention, especially when compared to other candidates - Bernie Sanders, for example. Although the media said he will not win, every day, all the headlines: Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump! The American media helped Trump, yes, they first created it. Whether they criticize him or laugh at him, he does not care, he just wants to see his picture and his name. The American media have shot themselves in the leg. Since he was in power, he has exhausted the world. He grabs after everything like a little child. He is not a leader. He is a vermin. A huge vermin.

SPIEGEL: Do you think that he will be re-elected?

Tax exile pop star becomes even more of a confused reactionary whilst promoting his new album and tour.

I do think he may need to rethink his latest publicity campaign strategy which appears to be to offend as many libtard snowflakes as is humasexually possible. The bitter old Queen
 
The parents.
I know they can’t guard their child 24 hrs. a day but come on 14 yrs old he should be at home or they should at least know where he was going.

He is a child .
I thought Moz mentioned the parents as first being responsible for takin care of their kid as he was trying to understand why and how and comparing it to when he was 14 yrs old.

He says when you're in someone's bedroom you know what can happen which is directly saying the child is equal to Spacey and had no reason to be surprised when Spacey attempted to rape him.
Everyone knew where he was going. Not to an orgy. Not to be raped. To a party with some people in the business he is in. Kevin Spacey's history shows it was all planned. Sexual predators choose their victims carefully. The boy was alone, in the business, and he had the sort of personality that meant that he left and told no one.
Some people like to help younger people who they share interests with. Kevin Spacey's intentions inviting a younger coworker to a dinner party weren't so obviously suspicious. He might have been a decent guy who saw that the kid had talent and he might have felt that it was an honor to be in the position to help such a person. It really is. Working with young people, treating them with respect and trying to help them is really rewarding. It's very provincial to think that a teenage boy can't go to a dinner party, especially when he is already a working professional actor in a competitive and unconventional business. And he did have the courage to say no and to get out of there and get home. It is ridiculous and ignorant to blame anyone for what happened there other than the person who committed the sexual assault.
 
old fashioned? no, i would say that's very modern. go back 100, 200 years. children were going off to war. there was no such thing as this prolonged adolescence that we have these days.

Am I totally wrong to prefer this prolonged adolescence in stead of children going to war?
Could I name it a form of civilization without stepping on anyone’s toes?

I do believe 8 bilion people is a lot on this planet and with the overpopulation still growing it is bound to cause major disasters. Even with all climate measures taken which will cost so much money, nature will solve it.

There will be more wars and diseases than ever. The balance will be found by nature itself.

We people are just a tiny part of nature.
We think we can solve everything with technology but it won’t.
 
What an old fool.
 
Morrissey: That "Jacky" would be a song about Brexit. But that's the British press. This is the "Loony Left", the crazy left, they are so extreme. They are in between like the "Third Reich". They can not be influenced, and one MUST have no other opinion Mier. It's VERY boring, and it's pretty dangerous.

Funny he says that to a "journalist" of the socialist weekly, in other words: to a "loony left(ist)".
:rolleyes:
 
With regard to the rape comments, I know people who have worked in centres for asylum seekers and they have mentioned that people from some cultures are incredibly respectful and polite, whereas people from other cultures are reported due to sex attacks on practically a daily basis. People really shouldn't bury their heads in the sand about these things...
 
the problem with multiculturalism is that it leads to it's opposite: homogeneity. the more intertwined and interbred we all become the more we become the same, until eventually all humans will be one mochaccino hued dark haired race with no distinctive culture. there's nothing wrong with those things but what about difference? people who love difference are all about multiculturalism but it seems to me that if you love difference you'd want to preserve the different races and cultures the way they are.

Morrissey's legacy is shot. He has become a right-wing mouthpiece whether he likes it or not. He speaks out against Trump but speaks his language.

That's the problem with growing old. Many people become more insulated, and fearful about the changing world around them, until they no longer make sense in a modern era. The world has always changed. Cultures have always changed. People come, and go, and no amount of resentment will change it. It will just drag you down, and make you look like an aged cliche.

Morrissey has become an unintelligent, old fart blunderer, and all of the past accusations against have been proven true.

I'll make it a point to spread the word about his character to any music fan who will listen. This is going to get really bad for him. Watch. For those defending him, cling to that sinking ship. You don't matter.

I can't wait to read the Youtube comments under his videos.

The Mayor of Los Angeles looks like a naive fan-girl at this point. She honored this socially retarded geriatric who clearly has lots of racial resentment boiling underneath. He's still holding back. This is just the beginning.
 
Unbelievable !
The gift that just keeps on giving.
Now we can all understand why he has to be interviewed via email.
The bots have got their work cut out with this one for sure,L O L !

Brilliant post
 
Read the interview. Its always been pretty clear he isn't racist (except to the idiots). His issue has always been the erosion of national identity (of any nation). He is suggesting that multi-culturalism doesn't work, because one culture tends to dominate over another. His politics are perfectly reasonable and well thought out.
Here they come. To justify bigotry an sexual assault. He is not reasonable. Or well thought out.

Sorry, but these sorts of comments always amuse me. They suggest that just because immigration exists (as it should obviously), that it also follows that uncontrolled immigration must or should exist.

People forget that before Brexit the leaders of the 3 biggest political parties all said the same basic thing: "Immigration is a good thing, but uncontrolled immigration is a bad thing."
 
So refreshing to hear someone say what they think instead of what’s expected. And you know what is a true disgrace? That Muhammad is the most popular child name in Britain. So I wonder how long before Sharia law is installed in London.
 
There are actually people posting on here JUSTIFYING SEXUAL ASSAULT to shore up Morrissey's comments. And there are people who don't like that being pointed out.

There are people who know he hates immigrants, who know sexual assault is illegal and wrong, and yet still post/vote in support of the man. What is going on your brain?

It's the very very nature of a cult. The leader is never responsible for his failures. It's the detractors fault. Morrissey is starting to attract right-wing goons to this site, and on Youtube because of his comments. These are the only two places Morrissey is really visible. This will not end well. He lives in a bubble, and his resentment towards humanity only fuels his flippancy. He's daring people to take him down at this point. He's likely to retire soon, and I think this is his way of turning over tables on his way out.

Morrissey loves to be hated because he's so detached emotionally from the world. He can't be king, he's not a fighter, so he resorts to humiliating himself solely out of defiance. If you call him an insensitive bigot, he acts even more like an insensitive bigot.

One of the more nauseating retorts I hear people make about crazy, inartful comments on any subject is "I don't don't agree with his ideas, and I think they're wrong, but I respect his conviction." They are basically saying that they respect the fact that someone is doubling down on their own ignorance, despite them being wrong about their beliefs, and ignoring information to the contrary. It makes no sense. It's excusing ignorance as a matter of style.

Let's recap what we have learned:

1. Morrissey thinks eating animals is the same as the Holocaust.
2. Morrissey thinks that trying to f*** a 14 year old is no big deal, and wants to blame the parents instead.
3. Morrissey thinks that aggressive sexual advances that occur in someone's bedroom when those advances are declined, is their own fault.
4. Morrissey thinks that Germany is the rape capital of the world because of immigrants.
5. Morrissey thinks music artists f***ing 15 year olds in the past was normal. Nothing to see there.

If you are still a fan of this man at this point, you deserve to live with the taint of his comments. I could have never imagined as a young fan that this is what he would become. He sounds like a complete nut-job. I am embarrassed that I have ever promoted him as an artist.

This is now going to taint The Smiths legacy as well. I feel bad for Johnny Marr. He doesn't deserve having this man associated with his legacy.

Morrissey, a man who never had the guts to come out of the closet, has no problem being honest about things he knows little about.

Exactly! :thumb:
 
Why do I have a feeling that Morrissey will be contacting his lawyers about this interview and that he was misquoted or the interviewer changed everything or some kind of bullshit Morrissey will do. Let’s face it Morrissey is a right winger the man is in complete denial.

As frightening as things currently look now, they will get better. The people are standing up now and they won't be silenced.
 
I think more people are starting to realise the problem is getting worse (they certainly do in private) civil war will be the only option if the government doesn't stop it.

Civil War? Bwah! The only civil war will be between anonymous online commenters. No way in hell will people decide en masse to start a war, and vacate their comfortable lives over such petty paranoia. Besides, don't give your opponents a valid, legal reason to blow your brains out

This isn't 1865. People are more interconnected now than then. The standards of living are higher, and there's more to protect. People aren't raising their kids for loony knee-jerk wars. Minorities in America, and Great Britain will become the majority in the not too distant future.

At best, you'll get what is already happening, and that is people like you encouraging nut jobs with nothing to lose to murder innocent people, and turning the public against their ideas.

Those Nazis rallies in the U.S. are a perfect example. The minute the public pushes back, they go into hiding. The Internet is now your standard bigot's safe space because their ideas can't compete in the real world.
