anyone that whines about Rage Against The Machine's music being "tOo pOLiTiCaL"
I know someone who used to go to rage against the machine concerts in their youth and is now a Republican. Every day I wake up and thank god I am not that braindead
I remember chuckling to videos of drumptards dancing to RATM during the Floyd protests and covid. It was obvious that their only takeaway was "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me"
Yeah, that one hit hard during the Floyd protests. It is literally a song about cops killing black people. And it's not even subtle ... wtf?
For anyone unaware, there are a number of memes about RATM (mostly Tom Morello's) politics

But my personal favorite, from 2020, is this one: https://i.imgur.com/ix6Ig4Hg.jpg
With a name like Rage Against The Machine, it's on the tin.
Republicans think they're the punks because they rally against decency.
“It’s too bad they are raging FOR the machine now”
Morons.
