antiwork no longer means the abolition of the oppressive relationship with the capital owning class in which we sell our labor as a commodity.
it’s been completely co-opted as a place for milquetoast reform (capitalism will work if we put the right people in charge and call it socialism), and low-effort outrage-porn.
landlords ought not exist
reactionary recuperation of revolutionary aesthetic-- shallow, reductive simulacrum of class analysis, stripped of systemic critique, intersectionality, and radical solidarity.
conservative pandering. lame af.
this is news?
“victims of ideologies”
big enlightened centrist energy
is an ideology just defined as any set of beliefs besides your own? lol
I hope you get to experience the growth in empathy to look back and feel ashamed of this interaction.
good luck. 👍
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
“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.
your head is so full of neoliberal brain- worms that you cannot recognize a leftist criticism. you’re literally defending bigotry/ reactionary entryism.
You had a chance to describe all things wrong about this song to every one.
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.
you’re projecting a lot of your own discomfort and lack of understanding/ context onto me.
disseminating reactionary populist entryism masquerading as folk music is not a great look.
are you capable of critical thought, or do you simply consume whatever appears on your plate?
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.
furthermore, I suspect OP is an authoritarian and likely an accelerationist; no ally of the global working class.
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.
reactionary pandering
lhd suggests otherwise, yank.
common ownership and control of the means of production in a classless moneyless stateless society governed via collective mutual determination or similar horizontal system of power.
love btb.
