'Born in the USA' did not 'fail to convey' what it was about. It was just wilfully misinterpreted.
Just like a lot of people somehow misinterpret Rage Against the Machine.
I still can't believe how POLITICAL they got during BLM! They should just stick to singing songs about how law enforcement agencies often hire racist pieces of shit and justify their murders with patriotic bullshit and I like the part where they say, "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!"
There’s a reason it was used as a Blue Lives Matter theme
I think what many people don't understandt, is that two nostalgic emotions can co exist in an individdum, although they seem to have contradicting implications. so you can be bitter about your life expieriences, but still be filled with happiness about "home".
there is some psyscological explanation for this, i forgot what it was
