Billy’s got some great Instagram stories today. It really is amazing how he’s been dehumanized to the point where it became acceptable for the media and fans to publicly attack his appearance (and even in recent times, where that’s considered totally unacceptable), and how overlooked it is that those things impact his mental health. It’s sort of an extension on what we discussed much earlier about how his depression and the abuse he suffered as a child have been constantly trivialized.

He comes off quite well on Instagram, except when he is talking about free speech and stuff, seems supportive of people

#3388

Yeah, following his Q&A makes it pretty clear to me he isn’t some hateful right-wing garbage person, which I’d feared he’d become after Infowars and the anti-Bernie Sanders nonsense. I think he genuinely wants good things for everyone, and is more on the stubbornly uninformed baby boomer side of the spectrum than anything actually malicious.

He’s reverted to type today. Doesn’t like the ‘socialist’ Scandinavian tax system and blamed ‘soy boys’ (proper alt-right term that) for Zeitgeist’s poor reception. Oh yeah and he’s reaffirmed his belief that’s he’s encountered shape-shifting aliens. Cheers Bill

disappointing stuff

#3395

Yeah, he sounds like all of my former coworkers today. Or if you remove the alien thing, the typical 50 year old American moderate dad. We live in hell now.

I still think he means well but fundamentally doesn’t understand / is unwilling to think about cause and effect, like most people in the country. Kind of like how Missouri voted for all of the progressive initiatives but also voted for all of the Republican candidates who would ensure none would be enacted. Pretty ironic too how he snarkily dismisses someone trying to explain it to him, when that basically has been the media’s response to his defending himself after they spout bullshit about him.

I nearly replied to him on the tax thing but couldn’t condense it enough to the character limit. Same the other day on the ‘if you fall out with a friend over politics they were never your friend’

was gonna day something like yeah if I was a woman and someone supported the politics behind unconstitutional criminalising abortion then they weren’t my friend, if I was a black person and someone supports a president who says there were fine people at Charlottesville and pardons racist sheriffs they were never my friend

He is so dim when it comes to politics, basically ‘no one should be political unless they agree with me’

Let’s end this thread and all agree he’s a cunt. Easy.

This new tour seems to be a massive success, I’m really happy for him. The audience yesterday apparently was shouting back G.L.O.W. after Disarm, and even Netphoria was overwhelmingly saying he’s got it again. There seems to be a lot of positivity around the band right now, I’m really excited for the new album. I think it’s going to be great.

Think I’m going to buy a ticket to see them in Antwerp on Monday. Wouldn’t really have considered it but I noticed a couple of people put recent gigs by them in their all time top 3s, and a really good Pumpkins gig would be pretty special…

They played the cut that little child song in the pub last night. Reminded me of when we were kids and we’d make fun of those words.

Smashing pumpkins were alright I guess.
