working a force is an idiom for being police, friend. your version isn't close to grammatical, not even on a "good enough for a lyric" level. if that's what they wanted to say it would be "on" work forces, which still works lyrically. but that's not what they wanted to say because "work force" means basically any job, so it would just be a lame line saying that some kkk members, like, work for a living, instead of a loving great line calling out the police for being racist as poo poo

'working a force' isn't a thing and there's no reference to it on the internet.

you're thinking of 'walking a beat'

the lyric takes poetic license with grammar. here's how you would say the same thing. "some of the same forces which are at work also burn crosses."

ok but besides being wrong that makes the song pretty toothless and meaningless, and doesn't mesh with "for wearing the badge" in the next part. the song is very explicitly about cops and not just some other weird nonspecific societal oppression

Beast of Bourbon: Sep 25, 2013; Pillbug

even listening to rage for the first time in college, the allusion is very clear that those that work [police] forces are the same that burn crosses.

not a lot of room for discussion on this one, i'm afraid.

Zack de la Rocha sometimes changes the lyrics in the second verse from "Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses" to "Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office" when playing live.[46]

once again, it's talking about specific people

also lol

Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal
I walk tha corner to tha rubble, that used to be a library
Line up to the mind cemetery now!
What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin'
They don't gotta burn tha books, they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells

quote:

But I learned to burn that bridge and delete
Those who compete...at a level that's obsolete
Instead I warm my hands upon the flames of the flag
As I recall our downfall
And the business that burned us all
See through the news and the views that twist reality

Enough
I call the bluff
gently caress Manifest destiny

Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn

three random rage songs (killing in the name, bulls on parade, and bombtrack). you can pretty much grab any rage song and it's going to have extreme bash the fash lyrics.

quote:

The Friday kicked off with an AMA with Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill, where they shared stories about how taking Talent Acquisition seriously since the early days had been key to Riot�s success. (For those who haven�t heard the term before, AMA stands for �ask me anything�, and it refers to a loosely-structured type of interview popularized by Reddit.) The two shared some great stories about candidates they pursued who were critical to getting League of Legends shipped in those first harrowing months of launching. Then they shared an example of how one candidate did not take an offer initially, but because we persevered and followed up, they eventually did take our offer. At the end of that example, Brandon laughed and said, �I was about to say something.� He paused, and then went on to say, �No doesn�t necessarily mean no.�

...

The next day, one of my former direct reports and her direct report, both of whom I was actively mentoring, asked to speak with me as soon as I could. We met up right away, and they were visibly upset. One of them said to me, �There�s a rape joke in some of the recruiting material, and they�re saying it�s something that Brandon said at the offsite. Is that true? Did he say that?�

I think I took a deep breath, followed by a long sigh. It was a simple question, with a simple answer, but with that answer came grave implications.

�Yeah, he did.�

...

I pulled out my phone to check email, and found replies to the email I sent Brandon, but not only him. My original email had apparently become a thread with some folks in leadership. I recall it mentioning that hyper-sensitive people who didn�t understand intent were a problem we needed to address at Riot. I closed that email thread, and immediately below it there was a meeting invite titled �Riot Voice and Sense of Humor� set for when everyone returned from the company trip. The invite included the co-founders Marc (my boss) and Brandon, the head of Communications, the head of Legal, and myself.

...

At some point I think I referred to the slogan as a rape joke. Brandon pulled up a picture of a t-shirt that had an iceberg floating in water on it with the words �just the tip�, and said he had that t-shirt, and what did I think of it. I said I didn�t think it was appropriate. This led to a bit of back and forth between Marc, Brandon, and I, followed by Brandon talking for several minutes. I think Brandon felt misunderstood and misinterpreted, and that my email implied that I thought he condoned rape. After he had talked for several minutes, Marc said, �So what do you think about what he said?� I replied, �I think he thinks these sorts of things are OK and I don�t.�

...

Up until that point, neither of those people had said much at all. The head of Communications said that we were edgy, and that if we as Riot started chipping away those edges, we would become shapeless and bland, like EA or Blizzard. I responded that if we told everyone starting today there could be no more rape jokes in presentations and talks, it would still be a multi-year effort for us to no longer be edgy.

I remember trying to appeal to the business aspects of the behavior, and how it opened us up to legal liability. The head of Legal did speak up and asked if we were concerned about legal liability. She was seated to my left, and I was seated on Brandon�s left, where he was at the head of table. Brandon extended his arm past me and held up his hand in front of her and hushed her, saying we were not going to talk about that.

...

I do not think that much of leadership would actively condone sexism and the mistreatment of women. However, when confronted with what they would need to change about their behavior to prevent an environment that nurtures sexism and mistreatment of women, they have an established record of being unwilling to make those changes.

Waymo�s Big Ambitions Slowed by Tech Trouble

Alphabet�s Waymo unit is a worldwide leader in autonomous vehicle development for suburban environments. It has said it would launch a driverless robo-taxi service to suburban Phoenix residents this year. Yet its self-driving minivan prototypes have trouble crossing the T-intersection closest to the company�s Phoenix-area headquarters here.

Two weeks ago, Lisa Hargis, an administrative assistant who works at an office a stone�s throw from Waymo�s vehicle depot, said she nearly hit a Waymo Chrysler Pacifica minivan because it stopped abruptly while making a right turn at the intersection. �Go!� she shouted angrily, she said, after getting stuck in the intersection midway through her left turn. Cars that had been driving behind the Waymo van also stopped. �I was going to murder someone,� she said.

and then the rest is paywalled
