    My hot take is that this guy ain’t the most well informed, and he’s fallen for some rightwing disinformation around Q and welfare.

    BUT, he ain’t wrong about the rich fucking over the poor, he ain’t wrong about miners losing jobs and their sense of self worth, and he ain’t wrong about those rich assholes pandering with songs and media stunts instead of doing the real public service work. Also, he can hold a tune.

      He has a YouTube playlist with literal “Jews did 9/11” conspiracy videos on it. The playlist is called things to make you think, or something like that. He’s an absolute tool

          A broken clock may be right twice a day, but you never know when it’s right. You can’t rely on it to get any useful information. You should just ignore it, not praise it because it got lucky for two seconds out of tens of thousands.

      I thought this at first but after reading the lyrics instead of listening I don’t really think he is complaining about rich people explicitly. “rich men north of richmond” is just a poetic way to say politicians, imo, and so the song seems just anti-government. I guess you could consider the first part about workin all day has working class vibes, but that isn’t a condemnation of rich people it’s just talking about how life sucks right now.
