I particularly like the way Comrade Queef linked to a “ battle “ against the neoliberalist capitalism he’s Oi Oi Oi supported for the past few years through his ignorant repetition of the ultimate Globalist propaganda :

“ Open borders providing the free flow of labour so that the lowest common denominator of labour cost is the global standard “

The stupid fuck thinks it’s his own prerogative to circumvent the labour law of every nation on Earth through mass immigration . To be honest , I don’t blame the bottom feeding morons such as Facto , they are just the useful idiots of Capital.

Vinyl outsold CDs for the first time since the '80s

The Recording Industry Association of America has released its mid-year report on the state of the US music industry. While there were plenty of expected outcomes (streaming way up, physical sales continuing to plunge), there were a few surprises.

The report indicates that, for the first time since the 1980s, vinyl outsold CDs. Vinyl album sales rose by four percent from the first half of 2019 to $232 million. That accounts for 62 percent of physical revenue during the first six months of the year, but just four percent of the overall revenue from recorded music.

Overall physical sales fell to $376 million. That’s a drop of 23 percent year-over-year. Reasons for that include people not visiting music stores, artists not touring (and not selling CDs at shows) and millions of people losing their jobs and entertainment budgets amid the COVID-19 pandemic. And then, of course, there’s the increasing shift to streaming.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that streaming subscriptions are way up. Spotify, for instance, added 12 million Premium subscribers during the six months to hit a global total of 138 million. Paid streaming subscribers in the US increased by 24 percent from the first half of 2019 to more than 72 million. Total streaming revenue rose 12 percent year-over-year to $4.8 billion.

Growth in ad-supported streaming revenues slowed down significantly to three percent year-over-year amid a drop in advertising income across a number of sectors. Despite that, it speaks to the dominance of streaming that revenue from ad-supported streaming ($421 million) was higher than both physical sales and digital downloads ($351 million) during that period.

The report found that streaming accounted for 85 percent of music revenue in the first six months of the year, up from 79 percent across all of 2019.

Yikes!!! Not to be confused with yipes!!!

Debonding (not to be confused with deboning) is one of the saddest, tragic sights real surfees can witness. One of the most recent, and especially most tragic, fragile, poignant examples, magnificently documented on the Swillnut Club, occurred when one of the the Swillnut Club founders (not to be confused with flounders) Stuper Nuttle, turned on his obviously bestie dude, blowie. Even though stupe’ had for years vehemently denied even knowing the poor, self confessed gronk, bloiwie (who was famous for creating a classic gronk sell out thread, eventually exposing and swillnutting every known and unknown spot in Asia)!!!???! Stuper was always getting even angrier and madder at the mere suggestion of being blowie’s favourite great ‘mmmmaaaayyytee’ for years!!!???!?? I'm sure there's a 'naaaarrrr... yeeeeehhhh... nnnaaarrr but'... 'explanation'... again... another, well, another 'doozie'... again...

'Enlightening stuff Indo. Have to Agree with you about the Balinese being friendliest in my ( limited )experience ).'

'Thanks so much for all your info. I have been to the Ments but only on the cheap milk run boat, only went to a few name breaks ( maccas, HTs, telescopes, scarecrows, thunders ) and never saw the E Bay Area or any other waves really. No camps, did not know which Island was which. Your standard Ignorant gronk being led by the nose.'

'Cheers legends.
You boys should run a surf travel company, quite the wealth of information.'

And, in the gronk dude, blowie's defense he quickly swillnutted himself and grew into an all Asian swillnut, anti exposure, anti surf camp 'legend' by the word too!!!!???

But, stuper finally, publicly admitted the obviously great mateship!!! Before finally, but quickly, publicly butt whipping and divorcing his great, dude maaaaaayyyttee blowie!!! Forcing the obviously, and tragically shattered dude, blowie into being forced to spill his guts and admit that, not only were he and stupe’ much, much, much, much, much, much, much (did I say ‘much’) more than just great mmmaaayyytees, but that blowie had actually rescued and saved stuper’s life in a secret and equally horrendous surfee emergency and tragic ‘underground 'incident’!!! Again!!! In a nutshell... again... and again and... (PS did I say ‘much’)...

'Great just when you think 2020 couldn't get any worse.'

Well, obviously things have been much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much (did I say much) worse dreaming... again...

A typical dreaming, swillnutting day... (which in reality, is actually a nightmare for any sane person caught up in the 'dream')

https://www.swellnet.com/forums/politico/307178?page=63

'BTW. i saw a women at the market in Dandenong the other day with a burqua or maybe it was a Niqab it was kind of in-between couldn't see her face though, i was waiting for my missus so did a bit of people watching with her, to be honest she didn't look oppressed like the full black robe ones I've seen in Indonesia that look like servants of the men, actually looked the opposite in this case she had her little middle eastern guy following her around and from the body language she looked like she was wearing the pants so to speak.

It was quite crowded and was thinking maybe i will accidentally go bump into her and say sorry etc and see if she will interact with me and see the reaction of her husband, but by that time my missus had finished.'

'Is it just me, or is this just a bit, erm, mental?'

And no young Shatner, although just another great moment, another great 'work' to the swillnuts, its definitely not just you it is extremely weird. As you can see when the swillnut 'dream', (the nightmare for all non swillnuts) comes all too true. Cafes like 'markets' should be safe places for women, places where complete strangers aren't stalking women, and thinking extremely weird shit about going 'bump' in the... nightmare...

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11-23/pregnant-muslim-woman-speaks-out-...

'Ms Abdo said it was very worrying.

"We are all concerned. You are actually sitting in a cafe in a group, you would think that is the safest place to be. We are all trying to deal with it."

The assault occurred in the week a study was released showing women wearing headscarves were at the most risk of Islamophobic attacks.

"We are mothers, wives, daughters … and we deserve to feel safe wherever we go," Ms Elasmar said.

"I fear for the world our children will grow up in, if this issue is not addressed."

Stup'e didn't know blowie at all... all those times he vehemently denied knowing him... did he...

And zensless, all those times you were, and are up in arms with ya mmmmaaayyytee blowie, about those stinkin', filthy, scum immigrants... zenno. About how the stinkin. scum should be booted out for taking ozzies jobs. For taking their livelyhoods, and criticising the oz government and actions, not to mention over populating the place, (well, no where near as over populated like a little place like Japan is), you were thankfully, and obviously, born in Japan, and not just a... just a ... just a... dare I say it... in ya mmmaaaaatttesss lingo, a 'lousy immigrant', taking a Japanese person's livelyhood and wages, taking a Japanese person's dwelling, all whilst critising their government and actions on an ozzie web site, whilst pushing up realty prices etc... Are ya...?????!! Coz, I mean... if that was true, then... I mean... if that was even remotely true but... well... but... that means that, that would just be a blatant, in your face example of blatant, hypocritical ludicrous, drivvle... aka... all time swillnuttin'... again... and again... and again... and again...

Getting straight the point... 'Erm... I don't think...'

Look, its ok zenny... as I confidently said, we get the picture... again...

'Yyyyeeeeeehhhhh... naaaarrrr... yeeeeehhhh... nnnaaarrr... aaayyye but...'

And thankfully, as you well know, I will happily correct you... again... But lets just let things simmer... for now... so to speak, and you just nervously savour and enjoy that unsure, perhaps queezy feeling, that, as you stated, uncertain, waiting to be corrected anticipation... the endless, nervous anticipation, before being deep fried to a frazzled, over crisped, incinerated, throw away karaage... again...

Poor blowie, as the rats desert the sunken, poorly designed and maintained leaden clunker... Who could forget, 'ship jumpers' the Abbertons called them... including poor ''killer from chi's'. And what a price the ship jumper, the 'rat' paid... again...

Again, that same, somewhat nervous, endless anticipation, unfolding before, yes, these innocent eyes... Even I can't relate the full, the sordid, unravelling tale... when 'killer'... weren't really no 'killer'...

Anyway, you mention training zenner, now, as you can so clearly see on display... which brings us back to blowie's deserting, ever growing flotilla of rats... including the dreaming, imho dim witted, brain dead rat... so, so, so easily trained to come, and perform on command...

And so, I know its a minor, perhaps swillnutty, ever forgiven mmmmaaaayyyttte that weren't a mmmmaaaayyytee... detail... in the scheme of things, so to speak... but that vehement denial...

Vic Local? Refusing to desert the ship, steadfastly standing with a few other good hearted people, against racism and inequality, as the rats just be rats... Well, especially as the rats are so forgiving of those other 'crooked' details, and the lack of 'skilled prose' in the 'lets bump out the burqua club' aka 'she had her little middle eastern guy following her around and from the body language she looked like she was wearing the pants so to speak', well overall and especially in comparison, Vic Local, and those other, steadfast, true anti racist, anti inequality, and rat free group, well, thats deluxe!!!

'but i'd be, you know- not telling the truth.'

Just a small correction... for now, for the students and the so to speak, so proclaimed, 'lucky immigrant's staff member's' sake... I know you'd agree with me... again... I'd always works much better than... i'd... Again, no charge at all... my pleasure... just trainin' away!!! Again!!!

See, really, and now on the surface, unbeknown to you, that's really interesting too zensless!!!??? Coz, who could forget, who could forget that... that yes, that other, that yes, that other, yet another, so sure but fateful, yet so 'right', so certain but finally, emphatically uncertain, ever so seemingly bold moment, that 'carefully chosen' but magnificently, ludicrously bungled, swillnut worded past... that 'whoops', that 'mistake'!!!??? When the rats circled on cue (although not to be confused with the flotilla of rats in the queue), before frantically, en masse, 'ship jumping'... fleeing, gnawing, scratching, denying, en swillnuttin' masse yet again...

'Yyyyeeeeeehhhhh... naaaarrrr... yeeeeehhhh... nnnaaarrr... aaayyye but...'

When a true, emphatically proven, all time, well deserved legend, when whatever pipe, Gland, chopes, Mullaghmore, in fact anywhere of consequence you wish to name threw at him, a genuine legend whose pedigree was long, long ago, well and truly pre zensless ago, already famous in Japan. A legend who would never even, never ever see those oh so bold, but ship jumping, swillnut enboldened, swillnut hardened, swillnut 'carefully chosen', swillnut 'word perfect'... rats... anywhere near him, in real surf, in the real, non swillnut world.

How easy, and how oh so convenient, to... to... to simply 'forget'. How easy the swillnuttin', the oh so 'carefully', 'truthfully' choosen' swillnuttin'... How easily swillnuttin' rats, just be rats... again... and again and again...

I think the Vic local's the BB's, the facto's etc, just want hisstree to stop repeatin' on em. Hisstree to stop swillnuttin', bullshittin' em. Seen the latest? That date, as amasing as the 60,000 to 80,000 years truly is, could actually be 120,000 years of continual, unbroken Indigenous Australian Cultures. Any one of those dates deserve unbridled, emphatic respect and acknowledgement. Yet, as awesome, as incredible, as inpiring, as moving, as unmatched in human history as the date is, it shouldn't matter at all. The beyond the remotest doubt crimes definitely committed, are never excusable, or to be simply conveniently 'moved on' by sheer, primative, perpetuated brute force.
