"I used to hold very strong leftist values and principles up until someone on the internet hurt my feelings."

Why did Rage Against the Machine have to get so political? Why couldn't they just stick to their music?
Back in the 90s I remember "Killing in the name of" was about kicking ass and not taking any shit from nobody. Listened to it a few weeks ago and it's all woke now smdh.
Rolling down rodeo was such an amazing riff, I used to love it before they went back and changed the lyrics.
To be fair, when I was a teen that really was how I thought. The real meaning wasn't noticed until I started seeing the costs of politics and actually caring about what was going on. So if it helps, just think of the people claiming this as still being very very ~~stupid~~ ignorant of the politics of the real world.
