When I first came across Oliver Anthony and his music, I was blown away to say the least. He had a whole collection of songs that I could listen to for hour...
This is blowing up on YouTube right now. Probably because of how true it is.
I lean about as far left as you can go and the song resonates with me. I thought the song was a little deeper, talking about how the rich men (I'm assuming politicians) aren't looking out for people. I feel like saying the song is only about taxes is taking a lot away from it. He talks on important issues like homelessness, male suicide rates, and that no one pays a living wage.
I don't know why other people are giving you a hard time. I'm about as far left as you can go as well. This is absolutely a far-left song. This is the kind of thing Mao would have played when liquidating landlords or Stalin would have used as a soundtrack to confiscating Kulak farms.
This is probably the anthem of the far left and I'm glad you, as a fellow far leftist, enjoy it.
Edit: I'm not hating on people who use welfare, earlier I just stated what I thought he meant in his song by the phrase "milking welfare" to mean people who do not currently need it, using it.
No, not because his ideas and beliefs don't align with mine. In fact a lot of what I have seen does fall in line with mine, but because I haven't actually read up on most of his ideas in detail, I've just casually heard about them.
Edit: lmao I thought you meant Andrew Yang before I googled that term
As far left as you can go, huh? I'd suggest trying to push that envelope a little bit. Instead of being disappointed/mad/sad that rich people aren't looking out for other people, try asking why rich people exist in the first place? Where did their wealth come from? And should they be allowed to keep it?
hang on, I get it but we have an opportunity to make some inroads here, immediately dragging up the most controversial possible issue doesn't really serve us

you know there are people who think everyone should have welfare, right? And that they're dramatically to the left of you?
Oh yes, I'm a major supporter of UBI.

I fully support Ukraine.
Edit: Also, any thoughts on why everyone from hexabear so confrontational ?
Simply pointing out that the song you've posted is based on nonsense is not "confrontational"
