I still think this is the best iteration of this idea
- Yeah, I get the joke in the post, but anyone who listens to RatM should very quickly understand what "the machine" is.
  
  You'd think so, but every couple of months there's another post making the rounds on the internet because some oblivious person completely missed the message of their favourite band.
  
  IIRC Morello even responded to this with something to the tune of "what did you listen to of ours where you didn't hear political bs? We need to remove it from our back catalog"
- I've seen a couple of American Conservatives complain about RATM suddenly becoming all political. How the hell could you miss that?

The Machine they are raging against is most likely capitalism and political BUT it may have also been their first tour van.
- I doubt they were raging against capitalism, seeing as how tickets to their last show were like $900 each.
  
  Capitalism is when things cost money.

PRINTING IN THE NAME OF!
- And now you print what they told ya
  And now you print what they told ya!
  
  Those who ask are justified why using magenta when you printing black!

I mean, they had several hit songs describing in detail the machine that they were raging against and how it worked, but sure. Printer.

PC LOAD LETTER!
- Wtf does that mean?
  
  Die Motha F&@#%€, die Motha F&@#%€, die!
  
  It means you have put the wrong size paper in the printer for the print-job, and it is requesting that you replace the paper with standard US letter size paper.
  
  It means office space!

Printers indeed are the most evil machines I've ever dealt with.

It’s a case study in mild inconvenience how complicated my department managed to make the copier.
You used to just load the document and press the green button. Everything is done through the cloud now, including scanning.
I’m sure it’s real important for cyber security but it’s not entertaining explaining it to everyone who needs to perform a simple task.

HP printers are the worst offenders. Either their drivers go stupid or the ink cartridges go dry RIGHT when you need to print something
- Up there with Canon, I feel like that shit needs to be serviced once a month
- I assumed this was by design!

Their rage was directed towards The Machine™

Or the scanner that was working 5 mins ago and now refuses to.

Wifi printer, to be more precise
- HP inkjet ECOsomething.

I thought It was McDonald's ice cream machine.

Effing printer man! The open source movement started because of this, go ask Richard Stallman.
