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.
Totally not, you are broking logic here. If you cannot control your hysteria, it strange that you expect others to not answer you.
wrong position, but remains popular narrative among working people. If people already struggle with poverty, it is good start to explain reasons of it.
not familiar with this "rich man up north" thing, to me it sounds like "rich" in general. Is this real marker of far right anarcho capitalism adepts in usa?
If there is real use of some words or hidden signs of far right usa slang, just share it here and educate others politely, I'm sure people here including me would like to be aware of such things. Any opportunity should be used to educate people.
you're projecting a lot of your own discomfort and lack of understanding/ context onto me.
You had a chance to describe all things wrong about this song to every one. Instead, you were acting as an angry Chihuahua, using big words doubly understanding the meaning of it. You lost my attention here.
I have, with very specific language. you've simultaneously accused me of not explaining myself, and of using 'big words,' which by your own admission you do not understand. maybe you should focus on understanding my argument before trying to refute my position. attacking me personally, accusing me of anger/ irrationality, is not an effective argument.
your head is so full of neoliberal brain- worms that you cannot recognize a leftist criticism. you're literally defending bigotry/ reactionary entryism.
"And the obese milkin' welfare"
"...if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge round"
as if fat people and social welfare programs are the problem.
textbook.
are you capable of engaging beyond trying to insult me?
ps: you're working for the ownership class when you attack the working class. you are literally a tool, upholding oppressive heirarchies which weaken our capacity to wield collective power and achieve liberation from the rich you claim to be so concerned with
I hope you get to experience the growth in empathy to look back and feel ashamed of this interaction.
good luck. 👍
"victims of ideologies"
big enlightened centrist energy
is an ideology just defined as any set of beliefs besides your own? lol
