This post was originally a link of my saved video of this TikTok (CW: gross body-shaming, mean, misinformation) diss track that I deleted. I apologize for overlooking the ugliness of this content, and I don't condone most of what was said in the video, only certain elements I agreed with. I appreciate the criticism and feedback.

I'll keep this up in this state because I believe there is some worthwhile discussion here. If the mods want me to delete this or remove the TikTok link for reference, I am willing to do so.

If anything he's definitely slid backwards since the United Health song for sure. I think he really believes the shit he said in that kirk song, but I don't think that's "harmful", people already felt that way and some subsection of the population will always feel that way.

But if someone was to bring him up in conversation, that's a good opportunity to ease into talking commie shit because there is still a good chance people also enjoy his anti capitalist vibes.

We'll see how things develope. There is a clear division in his work between "fuck rich people" and "why can't we be friends", which is a good dichotomy to discuss with libs.
