Oliver Anthony is just right wing talking points set to bad music.
yeah, too many things pointing that it is true.
reactionary pandering
?
Don’t mind them they’re busy boot licking.
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 bitches 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.
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.
Yeah, blaming poor people for other poor people’s problems is definitely bootlicking.
/s
That’s quite a beard.
Still waiting to see which parts of the song are untrue.
check wassabi guy comments, he edited them, so maybe there he has added any relevant explanations. (haven’t checked his last comments edits by myself yet)
