Brain Dead Conservo Fans Of 'Rage Against The Machine

"What the Hell Did Right-Wingers Think Rage Against the Machine Was Singing About?"

After the band made a statement against forced birth at a recent show, conservatives shrieked that the band should stay out of politics. But bro, have you ever heard a RATM song?

There are plenty of songs where the meaning and intent aren’t entirely obvious. You’d be forgiven if you didn’t notice that “Semi-Charmed Life” by Third Eye Blind is about doing meth, or that “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba is an anarcho-communist anthem. Rage Against the Machine, on the other hand, puts it all out on the table. The main chorus of one of their biggest songs is literally “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.” And if you tuned in a little closer to any of singer Zack de la Rocha’s verses, you’d hear blistering critiques of the military industrial complex, the oil industry and white supremacy — among nearly every other anti-capitalist, anti-fascist talking point. So, how is that, more than 30 years since the band rose to prominence, people on the right are now claiming that the band has gone “woke” and ought to “stay out of politics”?"

Being a Rage fan from the get go, how is that even a thing?
I guess your comment captures it.

I'm not familiar with their music but dang, the band's very name RAGE AGAINT THE MACHINE. Will the originators of "cancel culture" go sit TF down.

Hell they played Sympathy for the Devil at Trump events.......

[finnbow]

Or their frequent use of Springsteen's Born in the USA, thinking that it is some sort of jingoistic anthem.

Reminds me of this:

Bassist Unaware Rock Band Christian

It's one of (for me) the more memorable Onion articles.

Could be you have missed the script, Nini?
