Paradigm Magazine Presents: Rear Window with Ian MacKaye 

He's in the waiting room haha!

He's funny.

Myabe

he hasn't changed a bit!

A K THANK YOU :)

7 year old comment and still saving lives. Real Hero salute :)

Hahaha! Right? Could you imagine if Ian ate acid? Fuck!

Wasn’t he always straight edge?

@@heresmokethis yup

@Smokey Doke (Dope?) You don't even know enough about him to know he IS married with kid but you want to judge? You fucking fool !

Sobriety has nothing to do with it. Articulation in voice and thoughtful critical thinking approach to your surroundings.

Jello makes me cringe when he’s interviewed.

And now he looks like old man Joe Walsh big time.

+Adam I guess me being from Montreal and uploading ONE song from a San Diego band is perpetual documentation of my local scene.

+Adam I guess I had too much alcoholic beverages last night, haha!

Word. Everyone wants to blame religion when it's just a facade for the real problems. Don't cut the leaves off a weed, get to the root.

fullmetalfunk thats the problem. Religion is the root.

Grizzly It's not though. Blaming religion for everything is just as stupid as saying ethics and morals can't exist without it. Religion is just an easy cover or a scapegoat to point to when shit hits the fan, or used by leaders to further their own agendas. You think people wouldn't find reasons to divide themselves up and kill each other if religion didn't exist? People didn't kill each other before institutionalized religion? Atheists have never committed violent acts or taken advantage of others? Sheiks and Imams recruit poor farmers and eager youths to blow themselves up and kill others simply because their enemies don't believe the same things? Not because, you know, the areas of the Earth most radical Muslims inhabit are sitting on top of trillions and trillions of dollars of raw resources? The Catholic Church waged all those wars and killed all those people in the middle ages because they just didn't accept Jesus? It didn't have anything to do geopolitical maneuvering and hoarding wealth, right? The conflict in Israel/Palestine has nothing to do with establishing a western ally in a resource wealthy part of the world? David Koresh really believed everything he wrote, and definitely didn't do it just to feed his warped ego and wanting a harem of women at his disposal? It's very very seldom that religion is the only motivating factor in the ills of the world. It has so much more to do with hatred of differences that extend beyond religion and a want for resources. It's so naive and juvenile to point to religion and condemn it as the root of all evil, because the human condition is such a massive and complex matter. Minds much greater than you, I, or Ian MacKaye (as much as I admire him) have pondered on it for millennia and if it was as easy as "religion is the root" we'd have probably fixed it by now.

i dont think he said plainly religion is the cause of all wars... but more so a major factor, behind the scenes yes the motive is control, power & wealth.... but to the people fighting the war this has everything to do with religion

power and wealth are bigger problems but religion is still a huge problem and needs to be left behind. It's 2017 we don't need to think there's a god to understand the universe anymore

PelicanGreed Oh, but how do you explain that militant atheism stands for 93 % of all wars ever? Up to 200 million people killed by the religion of "nothing".

Hoover Grepa I am just quoting Ian, I try to stay out of pointless religious arguments, especially on RU-vid.

So you don't have any opinions yourself? Okey.

+BubblegumShallow Non-believer, agnostic, atheist, you chosse. It's all the same. Either you believe or not believe, simple as that. Dragons and unicorns are invented fantasy figures. The historical Jesus and all the other persons in the bible are REAL. Try harder, kid! Those numbers comes from Encylopedia which is not Christian, wrong again. What "religion" are you referring too? The religion of Darwinism, the religion of soccer, the religion of money, the religion of Buddha? Most governments in western society is ruled by secular people for the most. I do not feel controlled by the gospel of Christ. You seam ignorant to the fact that people are abusing (for instance the bible) to gain power and wealth, when the scripture says nothing about condoning such behavior, rather the bible opposes it. You are so stuck up in your narrow minded "Religion" mantra that you forget to see what the truth is.

You're a lying piece of shit Invisible Drummer lol NO ONE has EVER killed in the name of atheism. And atheism, by definition is not a religion. Get a fucking clue you dumb fuck. You need a good slap

Sebastian Rix The song is called "Sweet and Low" by Fugazi from the album In on the Kill Taker.

nah

Erik Muniz Stop worrying about things you have no control over. Have a drink with your friends and enjoy the lovely evening.

Erik Muniz Must be why Ian has aged so well 😂😂😂

Ian Mackaye has said many times that Straight Edge is a stupid movement.

Ben Forman -maybe you caught him in a better mood, but in 1991, during their “Repeater” tour, was in a band that opened up for them in Philadelphia, I’m 17 at the time, and I’m in a band opening for Fugazi, so, naturally there was a bit of “involuntary” hero worship, however, you’d think he be a bit friendlier? No, he’s as uncompromising and cold in person as in his interviews. I don’t necessarily dislike him (I only talked to him for 3 seconds cos he didn’t have time to talk to anyone, acting more like an English New Wave super star than an American HC Punk “DIY” pioneer). I’m really not trying to badmouth the guy, just telling you the truth. The music is still great, in spite of his view on history, every thing he’s done musically since 1979 has had it’s worth, and honesty, and I respect that he has stuck to his word for 40 years, I just am sharing my experience with him, and unfortunately some of his rap is hypocritical, and, I know from personal experience that he’s not the most friendly person. Just a fact, sorry 😐

To be fair he's not Jesus. His entire point is usually don't practice what I preach. Define your own reality. He's just as flawed as the rest of us

He's pretty chuffed with himself

His self importance shines through

Random skating doesn't mean shit....Minor Threat n Fugazi is forever..deal

He’s talking about not having any fun skating (as an analogy for living life) it’s pretty obvious. Most skaters don’t film every session - if you do, you’re in it for the wrong reasons. You’re not doing it for pure/fun reasons. Minor Threat didn’t film much in the grand scheme, and certainly not every practice. Your analogy isn’t a good one at all. Thanks though.

Not even fucking close, religion is responsible for billions of murders, learn some history kid

I think he is aware of it. I saw him speak in 2003 and he said that people have have asked him in the past if he's a Buddhist. He said that he likes to reply by saying "no, I'm a dude-ist". The point being that he sees himself as a regular guy, but one with principals.

hardly old nor redundant

What a stupid comment
