The right has won the culture war!
Its not really about the song, although it does drive me up the wall as a fan of real folk music.
Its just unsettling how quickly a fascist anthem like that spread.
This guy opened my eyes to the truth brother
billionaires are the real victimsI was about to take back my labour value from my company, but then some white guy told me the real problem is people milking welfare. /s
This has been the stupidest culture war flashpoint yet.
Government-funded milking for all who want it
Milkers earn union minimum ratesNot the evil See See Pee!
Im not gonna listen to this shitty song
Me either!
Its going to replace “Last Christmas” as the song you just hear ambiently everywhere.
Biggest cultural problem since “take a knee, my ass (I won’t take a knee)”
can someone explain this as if I have no idea what’s being talked about or what’s going on?
Citations Needed covered it in their latest news brief.
It’s “try that in a small town” again but with a folk song. Super racist shit that spread overnight and is concerning thats whats going mainstream in country for the second time in a month.
I think, haven’t listened to it cus I’m 100% sure it’s dogshit just like the last one I didn’t listen to.
Also sucks as somebody who likes underground country. Everybody listen to Tyler Childers he put out a video explicitly explaining to his audience how they have more in common with oppressed minorities than the racist mainstream country icons.

As someone who doesn’t have the silly bird app, what’s all this about a rightoid folk singer?
Please keep it brief, I have queer shit to be getting on with k thnx xo xo
Some red bearded guy sang a song, industry people juiced it up the downloads with money. It got attention because it’s an OK song, Republicans want culture war wins and dems love to tut tut despite being in full agreement. It’ll be forgotten next week, get back to queering comrade o7.
Was it bigoted or something?
Okies will do comrade o7
The guy sang about how horrible it was that there were people starving in the street and then somehow blamed it on people on food stamps buying fudge or something? It really didn’t make a lick of sense, it’s just reactionary faux populism
Ah yes, I forgot people buying food on food stamps was the problem with America, not at all the reality that lead people to need food stamps or anything.
yeah guys this is definitely gonna have a huge impact on the culture. this definitely wont be a foggy memory in a year. ten million views is actually a lot guys. dont listen to the majority of modern folk music and the majority of all political music having a left leaning slant. shhhh dont think about how conscious rap is an entire genre that is left leaning. vapid political aesthetics really matters, remember how after beyonce the biggest woman pop star of all time dresses up as a black panther and praised malcom x and then everyone read up on their black panther history and became communist and radicals. /s
I wouldn’t be so dismissive, it’s being played on the radio here.
Putting a song on the radio? Don’t try that in my small town, liberal.
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.
I was referencing the other right wing song. Or is that the same song, I literally don’t know?
I understood the reference, but I don’t understand what you meant by it. This song would certainly be played on the radio in the kinds of small towns that the other song is talking about.
THE RADIO??? wow what a game changer. this definitely means something. /s
Are you being sarcastic? I can’t tell.
yes i am. fixed it.
I don’t see why being sarcastic about it is warranted. I feel like being dismissive of the song’s reach is a bad thing: it means we are underestimating our adversaries.
I wouldn’t say “oh, only a few people are doing that” if Nazi flyers started appearing in my town, for example.
buddy i live in the south I see confederate flags all the time, there is an active kkk group in my community, jewish kids were getting beat up last year in my last place. we are and have always been in a white supremacist country. white supremacy is the standard. what is so new and controversial about this song. you didnt even recognize try that in a small town a far more racist seemingly pro-lynching song with far more views. your hyperfixation on this song is bizzare (im referencing your previous comments). its dog whistles are about welfare queens. Its only been taboo among conservative politicians to openly complain about welfare queen for the past few years or so. this song is nothing. it is a racist drop in the racist ocean. stop. there is an ABUNDENCE of mainstream music with leftist themes, I would say art in general is left leaning. we dont need more leftist art there is an over saturation of it. we need action, people real communities are gonna shape their world view more than a hit song. fr
This is a very rude response. I did recognize the other song, and asked a clarifying question. Not respecting people who communicate in different ways is kind of ableist.
I recognize and agree that it is a drop in the ocean, but that itself is indicative of how big the issue is and that we should be taking the problem seriously.
Someone was talking shit about Lee carter on twitter and one of the replies was like “well at least his new song seems to be doing well” lmao
Try that in a small town Mr. Richmond and you’ll get your ass KICKED!
Oh we’re the red white and blue!

I was going to do communism but then I heard the north man rich Richmond small town song and now I’m a blood and soil fascist.
I’m sorry to hear that, hoping for a speedy recovery.

I’ve been sitting by the big red button labelled ‘Communism’ waiting to do the fusion dance
