"Our belief is that music can build a common language that allows
people with different views and perspectives to come together."

See, that's exactly what many *don't* want. It's also why every
discussion forum must be trolled by the far right. Everything must
be conflictual. Divide & conquer, you know. The general phenomenon
is no accident.

And as long as I'm commenting on the phenomenon, I'll go ahead and
add an observation from Lazzarato (partially via Foucault): Whereas
liberalism simply posited competition as "natural," neoliberalism
recognizes human tendencies to cooperate & seeks to suppress them.
