https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqSA-SY5Hro Musically it's quite good. (see the last post on the last page for the lyrics, they are not.) I'm a little concerned about seeing the sudden explosion in popularity what may be some the slickest right wing propaganda in quite some time, but it's nice to know that some random dude can break out like that in today's environment, if he makes a track good enough. e: You know, as long as Anthony isn't just a focus-grouped stooge funded by right wing billionaires and promoted to stardom by Musk's bot army. e2: Which, he almost certainly is. *cough* Anyway, e3, not a fake one: oops linked wrong video, fixed now Mellow Seas fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Aug 16, 2023 |

I am waiting for him to be milkshake ducked but supposedly before this, he was “off the grid” so he may not have any horrible past posts to pull up. If that is the case, then we may have to wait for him to do an interview and step in it.

If he was off the grid, then that means it was something even more horrible than we can imagine coming up on social media, BUT it will take longer for them to find. Possibly in a shack in the woods.

The News, soon posted:An area woman was found captive in a ramshackle structure in the state forest, near death with malnutrition but weighing in at 300 pounds, the result, she says, of force feeding by a Mr. Oliver Anthony. I mean, maybe he's an all right guy with stupid-rear end opinions and a great voice, I dunno. Maybe he'll pull some kind of face turn and tell everybody the answer is strong labor unions and government funding of voluntary nutrition and exercise programs.

Yeah, it was mostly a comedy bit. Whatever broad relatability the song has washes out pretty quick when you basically name it "The Lost Cause, the Song." I'm just willing to entertain the idea that he's an idiot first and an rear end in a top hat second rather than the other way around. (Which, you know, it's a little better I guess.) I bet there are some fun lyrics in his other songs, maybe I'll take a look later... Mellow Seas fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Aug 16, 2023 |

He was discovered in an old dusty saloon by Sean Hannity, who told him he would make him a star - just, did he think he could maybe edit the title, “(((Rich Men North of Richmond))),” just a little bit?

Gaddafi was a worthless kleptocrat whose life's work was creating a cult of personality state that would collapse into barbarism if anyone tried to assassinate him. But he's also long dead, and no one ever loved him or his incoherent ideology beyond its power to spite their enemies, so odds are anyone celebrating him is just a dumbass contrarian. By contrast, this poo poo is stuff a lot of people actively believe and further and continue to hurt people with right now. So I think that's reasonable.

Yes that narrative flipped really quick They’re never happy. They got what they wanted with the Hunter stuff and he’s probably going to get punished more harshly than he should be because of the GOP complaining, and even with that they will claim he got special treatment.

They're full of poo poo, lying with every breath and never really gave much of a gently caress about it in the first place. Ignore the words a fascist uses. Look at their actions and the emotional content it generates. What they want is a reason to hate Biden, and a way to paint a target on him for their audience feeding at the trough of propaganda and lies. They're still getting that.

PeterWeller posted:It's weird that conservatives would create a song with lyrics that propogate their ideas because they're the same people who never pay attention to song lyrics. Booorrrn in the USA! Hannity was doing his usual "here's the news the liberal fake news mob won't talk about" and said it's because the news media is obsessed 24/7 with Donald Trump. 91 felony counts and 4 indictments on a US president is apparently not newsworthy or especially historic or anything when obviously the real story is Hunter Biden and a laptop computer. He's lying, of course, because I read tons of articles about the Biden "scandal" and I don't look at a ton of RWM. So how do I know so much about it if that story is being buried? The 180 these dickheads have made on law enforcement and its power is insane and vastly entertaining. They are (suddenly) incredibly concerned about prosecution overreach, aggressive law enforcement, the 4th amendment, wiretaps and selective two tiered application of the law now. Very upset with the noted, far left leaning, liberal government law enforcement agency called the FBI. The FBI who kept running files on commies like John Lennon, Jimmy Hendrix and Bob Dylan. These are the people who want do away with due process, speed up death penalty cases, enact harsh sentences for weed smokers and purse snatchers and allow cops to murder people in the streets. The party of prisons over schools. The chanters of "lock her up". The ones who gave us the Patriot Act and tell us if we have nothing to hide, we have nothing to fear and put thin blue lines on the American flag. They're gravely concerned about privacy rights, surveillance and the incredible power of law enforcement. Sounds like a bunch of liberal bullshit to me.

I'm more amused by how quickly the really fringe conservatives immediately snapped back to Trump being an unbelievable hero who has done absolutely nothing wrong. People on the more-conspiratorial RWM (your Alex Joneses, Rick Wileses, and what have you) had been gradually publicly drifting away from Trump over the past few months, mostly because they've yes-anded themselves into saying he's solely responsible for the Kill Shots (vaccines), and that's a real problem for them. I'm sure a lot of the grifters were really hoping that ol' Ron DeSantis would poll better so that they could finally stop talking about him incessantly, but as of the 4th indictment all of them have snapped right back into saying he's a powerful Fighter for Christ and is our one last hope as a dying nation. Ignore the fact that they were saying he had the blood of millions on his hands two weeks ago. Speaking of Rick Wiles, he's out of the studio next week, but they've scheduled a series of videos about who this Barry Soetoro character really is for the whole week. Ahh, simpler times.
