I’ll start. System of a Down.

Recently it seems like some people are JUST NOW realizing that Bring me the horizon is not Christian friendly and I wonder how many other artists can we put into the bag of “Wait, they were political this whole time?”

    Gotta love how so many MAGAites are bopping to Rage Against the Machine, without realizing that they themselves are part of the most vile and extreme version of the machine. They just latched on to the “fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” from “Killing in the Name” without that single grain of self awareness necessary to connect the only two dots there are.

      He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs
      And he likes to sing along
      And he likes to shoot his gun
      But he knows not what it means
      And I say ‘yeah’

        Unrelated to this thread, but that chorus is among my favorite duets. Dave and Kurts voices mesh so incredibly well.

        And I do like shooting guns… wait…

        I always thought it was “To be in love” instead of “and I say ‘yeah’” until now. I never really understood that lyric, which is kinda ironic.

      Their media literacy is effectively zero. They’re the reason there are like 6 dogshit transformers movies that glorify the military, racism, and womanizing.

            We are aware rednecks and Nazis exist.

            We’re also aware we defeated you the first two times and we’ll defeat you again if we need to. 🤷‍♂️

            You aren’t spreading anything, nobody on this platform legitimately wants Trump, and you aren’t going to convince a bunch of leftists to vote for Trump.
