Sigh... I miss the days when Rage Against The Machine focused on music and wasn't political.

Tap for spoilerI feel obligated to say this is sarcasm, just because of the way things are. (There are actually some people who said this to Tom on Xitter lmao.)

I know right! The band didn't start getting political until 1991.

spoilerThe band was founded in 1991.

Now that I think of it the whole 90s didn't start getting political until around 1991.

Stupid conservatives think, "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me," is speaking to them. Your spoiler / deflection is absolutely necessary. There are a lot of people who don't understand what they take in.

What machine do these people think they are raging against? A dishwasher?

To be fair, it'd definitely be justified...

It's entirely possible HP printers acted like a gateway to first experiencing true rage, that later led people into the maga cult.

Tom Morello isn’t qualified to speak about politics.

It’s not like he graduated from Harvard University with honours as a Political Science major.

He’s just some pop artist who Paul Ryan loves.

Lemmy needs to work on detecting sarcasm

Organize and protect yourselves and those you care about, Nazis won't care.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Arm yourselves.

The Nazis are already armed.

Diesel, bear spray, propane, and gasoline don't care if you're wearing a bulletproof vest.

Just pointing that out in case it becomes relevant.

Yep, becoming familiar with firearms is something I wish was unnecessary, but until the working class is liberated it's necessary. I dream of a future where the working class has won triumphantly, worldwide, and that violence fades into urban legend outside of somber historical remembrance.
