Even Rage forgets whom and what they were raging against and cheers it on now.

I like their cover version of "Lean On Me."

Their cover of "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" is even better than the Bee Gees version.

Ok xenophobe.

Interesting tracks. Thanks.

I was joking.
Rage Against = Lean On
The Machine = Me

It's better for you to pretend they never said which machine they're raging against.

Because to acknowledge that you personally love and adore the machine of white supremacy, the ingrained power structure and the politics of hate and division - this would probably lead to a state of cognitive dissonance, so your brain will take the easy route and pretend that rage never said which machine it was

I'm not 'white' in their definition of the word. You're just trying to lump a group of unrelated people together as a singular boogeyman to be your scapegoat.

[–]Site_rly_sux 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (12 children)

  1. I didn't say you were. I said you support the white supremist power structure and I stand by it

  2. If you really don't think you're a white person then you're an idiot for supporting politics that would like to kill or deport you

  3. Way to miss the point. The point is that RATM were raging against you and the idiots people like you elect. If you want to enjoy their music, you're going to quite quickly come up against a wall of cognitive dissonance as you realise that it's actually you that they're mad about. So, in order to not experience dissonance, your brain creates an alternative reality where maybe RATM were just super unclear about which machine was bothering them

  4. You lick the boots of those who work forces and burn crosses. You want everyone to do what they tell you

Are you filling in for sux? The trolling is especially weak today.

Wow, did you, in addition to OP, also forget that rage clearly identified the far-right power structure as the machine they were angry at? Some kind of epidemic? I know it's difficult to hold in your mind the two contrasting statements - 'i liked their music but I also like the politics of hate and division they raged against'

[–]Drewski 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (5 children)

Rage has spoken out against police brutality, American imperialism, the Iraq war, the two party system, the oppression of the Palestinian people, and many other anti-authoritarian stances I support. I may not agree with all their politics like anti-capitalism but there is definitely some common ground. The hypocrisy comes from the Covid era, when they caved and were in favor of authoritarian measures such as vaccine passports at their shows and support of lockdowns.

"I really like when RATM say 'america bad' but I'm not giving up my auth-right supremist views" okay buddy

This is why you're impossible to have a conversation with.

Only feed the trolls for lols. Anything else is self-mutilation.

“America bad” because of you and your shitty taste in music.

the just retaliation by Gay Jewish IDF Soldiers against the terrorism of the Paleswinenazi unpeople

Fixed. They are just another bunch of racist goyim. They need to get the Anita Bryant treatment for the same reasons.

Barbra Streisand was and is also tied to Sony Music and she recorded Hatikvah. That makes her an actual edgelord in my book. The Jewish mother of a Gay man standing up for the indigenous homeland of God’s chosen people.

“Far right” is a groomer buzz phrase and at this point also is a red flag that we are dealing with a warmonger.

It's just a funny meme, fag.

Shut up breeder

This band was a fraud then and now and they are false opposition. The “machine” they rage against is the one that made their ear-raping shitlib propaganda possible. They recorded for Sony Music Entertainment. I grew up in a college town full of real indie musicians and did musical theatre, and they were a joke in terms of actually changing anything. If anything, everything they bitch about has gotten worse because of them and others like them. Shitlibs who make excuses for them are embarrassing.

I don't want your statement here to get lost in the mess, so I made a new thread to better spotlight it for discussion

Hah, you're denying my lived experienced. This is delicious to see you engaging in blatant racism. Slavic peoples do not get in the 'white nationalism utopia,' and they are indeed considered people of color. It's like how Jews aren't considered white either.

I'm gonna call you Stretch Armstrong cuz that's quite the stretch you did there. Have you had your tap water tested for lead?
