DeBaser
The best asocial on the planet
It creates far more problems than it solves!
💥 Welcome to Armageddon 2.0: DeBaser goes bilingual! 💥
Yes, it finally happened.
DeBaser has split in two, and you are visiting the english split
Would you like to take a look at the italian version:

“So what?” you may say.
“Just another multilingual site?”
Not quite.
DeBaser.it is a community of music and arts lovers, active in Italy since 2000.
Over the years, we’ve written nearly 50,000 reviews, millions of comments, and countless rants, reflections, obsessions, definitions, and nonsense.
Now all of that is also available in English.
✅ Reviews
✅ Comments
✅ Listening logs
✅ Glossary entries
❌ (Editorials? Not those — we spared you.)
But there’s more.
Everything new written on the Italian site is automatically translated into English and appears here.
And the same goes in reverse:
If you comment here in English, your words will appear, magically translated, over there for Italian readers — even if they think “English” is just a brand of cigarettes.
Will it be a surreal paradise of misunderstanding?
Or a bridge between cultures?
Probably both.
That’s DeBaser.
Translating is always betraying
I’m bringing back (lucky you!) my little series of free and unfaithful translations (more interpretations than translations). Language – even when it’s the one you were born with, purely by chance – is a barrier, and communication is just a utopian wish; so take this stuff, which we call translation just for convenience, with a grain of salt.
Mark Stewart left us too quietly, and The Pop Group isn’t celebrated as much as it deserves, in my opinion. A war machine of music and lyrics that leave a mark like sandpaper.
In this “Justice” they name names and cite exact circumstances, just to remind us that things like the shame of the Diaz school raid in Genoa are neither a one-off, nor an exception, nor, least of all, just an Italian thing.
The Pop Group - Justice
I wake up every day and watch my country. Even a blind man could see it: what you call justice (or order) is not justice to me. (Oh sure) Property must be protected. Better to call the police, a nice call to the accomplices.
Who killed Blair Peach? And what happened to the political prisoners caught in Southall and tried by sham courts? To a guy (I read) who had to have his testicles amputated after being kicked by the S.P.G.
Doesn’t seem like justice to me.
Have you heard what people are saying? You’ve got 2 years until the statute of limitations ends. Want to fight for Zimbabwe? Want to fight for Ireland? Soon it'll be just you and me.
Who watches the watchmen
Who watches the police
What happened at Red Lion Square? Who killed Kevin Gately? And Jimmy Kelly, arrested in Liverpool, who later died while in custody. And soon they'll send the army to crush the strikes. And then, they'll bring in their legal terrorists. Control the civil unrest. Ireland is their practical base. Control the civil unrest. Our Vietnam.
