I used to like Rage Against the Machine until they got all political.
What qualifications does Tom Morello have to talk about politics?
ITT, people who can't distinguish between idiocy, trolling, sarcasm, and very dry humor lol
I see you, Norm McDonald
Norm McDonald is dead and I'm very much alive.
Prove it
Today's date is April 18, 2023.
You could have a very advanced predictive comment system.
If you really want to convince us that you're NOT Norm, saying something nice about the Courtney Thorne-Smith (of Melrose Place fame) movie Chairman of the Board should do the trick!
I can't say anything good about that movie but I have a pretty good joke about a moth of that would help?
It might hurt your case that you're NOT Norm significantly, but go ahead π
Um, it's Chairman of the BORED, thank you very much
This prompted me to look at his Wikipedia page a bit. Thought it was interesting that he has a bachelor's degree in political science from Harvard.
Harvard is a well-known liberal school.
You mean it's a school of higher education. That's craaaazy.
It's liberals teaching people to be liberals too.
Society... progressing? Wild idea!
Nothing should change after September 17, 1787.
You mean the day the constitution was signed? That document that was designed to be amended because the founding fathers had the foresight to see that the world changes and our documents need to change and evolve with them?
Fucking moron.
He is obviously being extremely sarcastic....
Shouldn't have to spell it out yet here we are.
Yes, we had all the laws, technology and medications that are needed on that date.
Everything after that has been too liberal for my tastes.
Weak troll is weak.
I mean, they got you pretty good
The first one was fine, imo. It was sticking to the bit that killed it.
Thank you for your facts, SatansMaggotyCumFart
It's a real shame he named himself that. If it weren't for such an obvious troll name, we might have fallen for the bait.
Seems more than a few people did lol.
That might be part of why ~~he~~ They go so hard, the name at least gives you a clue
Man I really hope this is satire because this is too on the nose
I hope it's a callback to this gem:
I'm rather fond of this reply:
Printers. Always printers
Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta
I mean, look at that name. Satire/troll, it's all the same.
I won't sit by and let you besmirch the good name of SatansMaggottyCumFart!
I can't tell if this is sarcasm
What is sarcasm?
Baby don't hurty, don't hurty, no moe
It definitely is π
πππ
I lol'd
Besides the fact that he has a degree in Political Science? Or the fact that Rage has always been a political band? Or someone asked a question and he answered? Which one do you prefer?
Just an obvious troll. Guy should have picked a better name if he wanted anyone to think he was serious.
I think they were referencing Tom Morello calling out a critic about it. -- https://www.instagram.com/p/BcjjnBqAZOV/?utm_source=ig_embed

tommorello -- "@davez67 One does not have to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard University to recognize the unethical and inhumane nature of this administration but well, I happen to be an honors grad in political science from harvard University so I can confirm that for you."
Either that, or they're an idiot.
Yes.
they... always were?
When did you realize that RATM's music was "political," right-winger?
Did the overtly political content of their very first album give you a clue?
Don't fret, chum... maybe just try something "non-political" - like Chumbawamba, perhaps.
Rage Against the Machine's first album was not political, it was full of bangers.
I hadn't heard that before. I heard the line "The world is riddled with maggots, the maggots are getting fat," as The world is full of MAGAts, the MAGAts are getting fat.
