Or does he just have some hot/weird takes that got him in trouble?

Someone on Reddit told me he (Rovics) thinks Matthew Heimbach has reformed, for instance. Reading Heimbach's Wikipedia page he still sounds like a massive Nazbol to me (emphasis on the Naz)

I struggle to believe Rovics could make a mistake like that. I've listened to all his music, never seen him miss in a song that I can think of. Also talked to him prior to learning this and he seems cool to me

I'm suspended on Reddit for 3 days. That's why I'm asking here for now. Most charitable thing might be to ask Rovics to explain himself, but I'd have to make a Twitter account again

        Too many words in my music. Workers good boss bad

        His style is a few chords, maybe in a cool open tuning, exceptional picking and strum patterns, and relatively low-quality lyrics because Rovics churns these songs out. He released a song about a tiktok ban attempt like 12 hours after the news broke. They aren't church-hymn simple lyrics like the IWW handbook because they're not singalong songs.
