Don't worry, conservatives still have Kid Rock, that dude from Staind, Gene Simmons, and Ted "shit himself to avoid the draft" Nugent. Truly the best of the best, huh?

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 65 points 11 months ago

He already said avoid cool music. You didn't have to illustrate it further.

[-] III@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago

Given that the conservatives keep being surprised by bands not supporting their shit agenda, yeah.. we do. They thought Rage Against the Machine aligned with them politically. They aren't going to figure it out on their own.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Who did they think the Machine was?

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

I suspect that they heard "killing in the name" and thought it was gloating instead of protest.

"Some of those who work forces, are the same that burn crosses"

Murrica!

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Holy fuck, now I'm wondering if that song effectively ended up as recruitment material to encourage more cross burners to seek employment in law enforcement.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 7 points 11 months ago

Right? We hear the song and say "yup, that's how it is unfortunately." They hear the song and say "Oh shit I found my people, where do I sign!?"

I'm sure plenty of them still buy the urban legend about 311's name.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Exactly. Butt rock.

Unfortunately Dave Mustaine is also a Trump nut, but luckily I haven't seen any Megadeth appearances at Trump rallies

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
