Oh, you mean the multi-millionaire communist? The guy who supports killing in the name of communism? Approves of warcrimes if its against the right people? He who doesnt even try to hide his hate?
That Tom Morello?
Why would anyone over the age of 14 listen to his politics?
His music is painfully mediocre, and if you want evil bands, go listen to Mayhem. At least they sound good.
u ok?
Honestly, yeah, Im good. I saw family and friends over the holidays, I have no major worries, life is pretty good all things considered. How about you?
You may be a true metalhead, but are you trve grim and frostbitten?
Tom Morello has a net worth of 30 million dollars and is even a Harvard Grad and lives in a beverly hills gated community. Hes not poor or even middle class. Hes fucking rich. He could donate his money, but he doesn't.
I did get one thing wrong. He calls himself a socialist, he just uses communist imagery a lot, like the hammer and sickle.

Cool story bro. Fuck off.
Fuck you i won't do what you tell me
Project harder
Man, I wish I had 30 million dollars.

Nyaa
I think this is a really interesting take. Communism doesn't mean taking a vow of poverty or being a good person, but I can see how it would seem hypocritical to not spend that money funding support for labor rather than hoarding it.
It's probably worth exploring why people over 14 listen to his music and his politics. One interesting reason is people who resonate with the emotional core of the music, but disagree or don't understand his politics. Another is people who genuinely feel that violence may be necessary to bring about communism. Additionally, some people feel catharsis listening to violent music/media without supporting violence.
I think it's worthwhile to empathize with people you disagree with. It can help better understand their viewpoint and solidify yours by contrast.
I'm curious, do you have any recommendations for music made by leftists who aren't rich and don't support violence? It's ok if not, I'm just interested in expanding my listening.
Honestly, I dont. I dont tend to dig into the politics and personal lives of musicians. Tom Morello is a bit of an exception because he tends to come up more than his music does.
Well, you are the moderator of a right-wing propaganda community on lemm.ee, so I’d say politics is your only thing.
I will never understand how someone reconciles conservative politics with being a Star Trek fan. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.
Right?!? Star Trek is a playbook on how to be accepting of others and think about the universe outside of yourself.
Lmao
