  • 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.



  • 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 bitches about “obese” folks “milking welfare,” and promotes the Proto-fascist conspiracies regarding ‘costal elites.’

    this ain’t it cuz.

    how? abolish the standing beaurocratic heirarchy which perpetuates and expends its own power and the interest of the ruling class by inflicting violence on the working class. what that looks like depends on how the people who make up a community choose to govern themselves.

    realistically I don’t expect a revolution of the proletariat to take place, so I promote the institution of robust mutual aid networks, radical solidarity (organized labor, intersectional liberatory philosophy), and resilient autonomous communities, to compete with the prevailing system of power.

    attempts at anarchist-adjacent organizing have existed, and continue to in some communities, though of course execution varies, as does identity.

    the USSR was not an attempt towards a stateless society, being a state-capitalist imperialist kleptocracy.
