  • Who are they? :)

    • The wabisabi person idk how to link user names. But it appears they are a bootlicker and would rather shit post then acknowledge a comrades struggle.

      • the song represents reactionary recuperation of revolutionary aesthetic, stripped of radical solidarity.

        it is pandering to the reactionary worship of 'rebellion' as a self-evident virtue, but the shallow analysis is crafted to manipulate populist outrage against individual actors without addressing the systemic factors which have lead us to this place.

        it removed about "obese" folks "milking welfare," and promotes the Proto-fascist conspiracies regarding 'costal elites.'

        this ain't it cuz.

        • This comment exactly.

        • Ahh upon second listen you are correct! Thanks for leading me to enlightenment.

          • furthermore, I suspect OP is an authoritarian and likely an accelerationist; no ally of the global working class.

            • Heh how easy for you to blame ppl, also already excluded me from ally of working class. I'm not an accelerationist for sure :)

              • disseminating reactionary populist entryism masquerading as folk music is not a great look.

                are you capable of critical thought, or do you simply consume whatever appears on your plate?

        • Don't you take the song too serious? Why average guy song should contain real reasons of happening? It is just song of random guy who feel some struggles in society and sharing it with others in a way he understands it, no?

          You can explain why it is have to be reactionary thing that promotes some dark age ideas.

          Ps wekfare obesity stuff not 100% clear to me, maybe too usa specific.

          • how seriously I approach 'art' is my prerogative. If one is not comfortable with criticism, they should keep their thoughts to themselves.

            how do you reconcile a position which claims to care about folks without enough to eat, with the line complaining about welfare (food assistance)?

            It isn't even critical of the capital-owning class or the oppressive heirarchy which protects the institution of private capital, just an ephemeral 'rich man up north' (this is a reactionary dogwhistle, if you're not familiar with the US)

            I think you're not taking art (and I use this term loosely here) seriously enough.

            everything is political, especially to those not in the priveledged position to pretend aloof detachment holds any value whatsoever.

            the song is trash, at every level.

            • how seriously I take a work of art is my prerogative. If one is not comfortable with criticism, they should keep their thoughts to themsef.

              Totally not, you are broking logic here. If you cannot control your hysteria, it strange that you expect others to not answer you.

              how do you reconcile a position which claims to care about folks without enough to eat, with the line complaining about welfare (food assistance)?

              wrong position, but remains popular narrative among working people. If people already struggle with poverty, it is good start to explain reasons of it.

              furthermore, it isn’t even critical of the capital-owning class or the system which protects the institution of private capital, just an ephemeral ‘rich man up north’ (this is a reactionary dogwhistle, if you’re not familiar with the US)

              not familiar with this "rich man up north" thing, to me it sounds like "rich" in general. Is this real marker of far right anarcho capitalism adepts in usa?

              If there is real use of some words or hidden signs of far right usa slang, just share it here and educate others politely, I'm sure people here including me would like to be aware of such things. Any opportunity should be used to educate people.

              • you're projecting a lot of your own discomfort and lack of understanding/ context onto me.

                • You had a chance to describe all things wrong about this song to every one. Instead, you were acting as an angry Chihuahua, using big words doubly understanding the meaning of it. You lost my attention here.

                  • You had a chance to describe all things wrong about this song to every one.

                    I have, with very specific language. you've simultaneously accused me of not explaining myself, and of using 'big words,' which by your own admission you do not understand. maybe you should focus on understanding my argument before trying to refute my position. attacking me personally, accusing me of anger/ irrationality, is not an effective argument.
