Like, even the libs! Everyone's all a buncha bootlickers, praising the uber-powerful for their hard work and success, I swear. Like, hellooooo, that's all just privilege stolen from the workers!

I signed up to work where I work because everyone there was rad. Pretty much all the employees have cycled, and now it's all libs and chuds. Waaaah!

So this is my very deep question: like, what's up with that??

Edit: Sorry, I realized after I posted this is a better fit for !philosophy@hexbear.net, but it's already at 1 upvote, so too late now!

    "Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission,
    Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite,
    All of which are American dreams"
    I know it's just the lyric from a song but it's true.

            Another moment like this is when Rise Against sang "Hero of War", an anti war song, and some people in the crowd weren't getting it and chanted "USA" and waved American flags. So straight afterwards they played "Blood Red White and Blue" which has these lyrics :

            "Would God bless a murder of the innocents?
            Would God bless a war based on pride?
            Would God bless a money-hungry government? No
            Would God bless our ineffective court system?
            God bless the sweatshops we run
            Would God bless America? No!
            God bless America"

            And people walked out lmao, still one of the best YouTube videos I've seen.

              Fucking YES. Hahaha, that is truly epic. They're such fuckin' badasses, I feel lucky that we have them in the world :chavez-salute:

              You ever heard any of The Nightwatchman's stuff? It's Tom Morello's alter-ego for making based folk music. He actually has a really great voice, and writes great stuff. If you haven't heard it, and you listen to folk, I highly recommend giving it a listen. .
