    I was about to take back my labour value from my company, but then some white guy told me the real problem is people milking welfare. /s

      I wouldn't be so dismissive, it's being played on the radio here.

              I understood the reference, but I don't understand what you meant by it. This song would certainly be played on the radio in the kinds of small towns that the other song is talking about.

              I don't see why being sarcastic about it is warranted. I feel like being dismissive of the song's reach is a bad thing: it means we are underestimating our adversaries.

              I wouldn't say "oh, only a few people are doing that" if Nazi flyers started appearing in my town, for example.

                  This is a very rude response. I did recognize the other song, and asked a clarifying question. Not respecting people who communicate in different ways is kind of ableist.

                  I recognize and agree that it is a drop in the ocean, but that itself is indicative of how big the issue is and that we should be taking the problem seriously.

      Some red bearded guy sang a song, industry people juiced it up the downloads with money. It got attention because it's an OK song, Republicans want culture war wins and dems love to tut tut despite being in full agreement. It'll be forgotten next week, get back to queering comrade o7.

          The guy sang about how horrible it was that there were people starving in the street and then somehow blamed it on people on food stamps buying fudge or something? It really didn't make a lick of sense, it's just reactionary faux populism

    Its not really about the song, although it does drive me up the wall as a fan of real folk music.

    Its just unsettling how quickly a fascist anthem like that spread.

    I was going to do communism but then I heard the north man rich Richmond small town song and now I'm a blood and soil fascist.

    I'm sorry to hear that, hoping for a speedy recovery.

      It's "try that in a small town" again but with a folk song. Super racist shit that spread overnight and is concerning thats whats going mainstream in country for the second time in a month.

      I think, haven't listened to it cus I'm 100% sure it's dogshit just like the last one I didn't listen to.

      Also sucks as somebody who likes underground country. Everybody listen to Tyler Childers he put out a video explicitly explaining to his audience how they have more in common with oppressed minorities than the racist mainstream country icons.
