Speaking Of Rammstein

One of our friends here, lists the music group - or band, as Wikipedia calls them - 'Rammstein' as one of his favs.

A-a-a-a-n-d, he covers his musical and maybe 'performance' taste with the shade that for sure mainstream American would recoil in absolute horror at anything 'Rammstein!' ...Which is one reason he likes them. So he is certainly being sardonic at one level.

What he's saying either to some extent, or maybe even really at core of it, is that there are all too many pop artist followers, pop 'art' and art fashion followers too (evidence say the lunacy of Marina Abramovic, beloved of a certain strata of contemporary Hollywood cognoscenti), who want it to be known that are oh so avant garde, and that also includes so-called 'Death Metal' fans - but when it comes right down to it they all fall very quickly at the fence of 'human reality.'

Rammstein is German, Germanic, it has a style termed in Germany as the 'Neue Deutsche Harte' - which means 'New Germanic Hardness...' It is transparently masculine and sort of, kind of (because I don't really think this is what is going on with it), militaristic. 

A lot of their most successful songs are about sex.

And so here's the turn in the road that I wanted to take about this particular subject - and specifically Rammstein and what they are and what they represent.

In ever-Puritan America, Rammstein is a definite no-no.

However Rammstein in my mind has simply nothing sinister or dark about it at all... They are so typically 'German' in their sexual ethic, let's call it, that they are utterly innocent if not naiive as such - compared to various art acts and niche music that I can think of.

Rammstein's video clips are expressions of what they perhaps think should happen given feelings of 'righteous anger.' Their videos contain a lot of end sequencers where the symbols of a problem or 'problems' are made to explode, to go up in flames. And the women, frankly, do not appear to me at least to be weak things over-powered by men. There is none of this female simpering that goes on when Hollywood portrays what they think strong males versus 'feminine' women looks like. There is a certain rural, olde worlde, even 'family' look about the couples portrayed in these videos, in spite of the leather and the chrome and whatever else is being worn and paraded around in there.

It's so innocent to think about countering people like Anthony Fauci with something that explodes...!

But Anthony Fauci never formulated long-range plans to allow medical doctors not to have to take the Hippocratic Oath.That happened around the world more than thirty years ago and those who pushed knew exactly what they were doing and why. The people who 'thunked it' in the first place were not Bill Gates, nor Anthony Fauci - these guys are functionaries. 

The public has never seen the faces nor heard the names of those who do these kinds of things, those who are the authentic 'movers and shakers' behind the scenes. 

If you want to 'make an example' over those people, in the first place someone would have to let you all know who they all are. Where they live. In what ways they live. What styles of life they have.

There is a lot to be angry about, righteously angry, about. But the wider public does not know who to 'hit' out at with their righteous fists.

Anthony Fauci... ...does not have the brain-power.

When you think that this man, above, needed to be protected,
then you have some idea of the span and scope of the 'enemy'
and the sheerly breathtaking arrogance of their mindset. 

You could legitimately kick him in the shins but it's a waste of time hitting out at him in the head. He doesn't have anything to protect in that area.

Unleashing the wrath of the public at simply any old target is a bad idea.

An important task exists to find, uncover and identify, who the true villains of the piece, are.

...And it's probably what I'm avoiding saying, talking about, here, that is instructive but we don't wish to send signals, right.

Rammstein - is purest innocence.

I'm not so innocent.
