Once the Taylor Swift conspiracy theory got aired on Fox News, the right immediately forgot all about Green Day, didn't they?

Can't forgive Student Loans because Freedom isn't Free. Can't let homeless people camp in public spaces without paying rent because Freedom isn't Free. And so on. BiggerBoat, next time one of these chuds bitches about paying taxes or vehicle registration, remind them that Freedom isn't Free lol.

As an actual answer, I'm fairly sure "freedom isn't free" probably traces back to "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." which is a pretty hilarious quote coming from a slaveowner.

Panfilo posted:OK so Ukraine got invaded because they weren't allowed to have guns? And conservatives think nobody should help them because "they had it coming"? Ukraine is the only country in Europe where firearms are not regulated by statute. Everything related to firearms is regulated by Order №622 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Citizens are permitted to own non-fully automatic rifles and shotguns as long as they are stored properly when not in use.

Almost as shocking a betrayal as when everyone learned that Rage Against The Machine were full on Leftists.

I swear you really want to freak out conservatives all you gotta say is "free Palestine get vaccinated and register to vote". Don't even have to elaborate on any of it, if you have a platform that is appealing to young people their hate watching will give you all the publicity you need.

PhazonLink posted:what about Green Day? On the Dick Clark New Year's Eve special, Billie Joe Armstrong sang the updated lyrics for American Idiot rather than the old ones. Specifically, a few years ago they changed "I'm not part of a redneck agenda" to "I'm not part of the MAGA agenda." The right wing flipped the gently caress out and were ranting that Green Day alienated half their fans by doing that, but the song was never intended to appeal to them. Conservatives have always misunderstood the message of that song for some reason. It was originally a protest song against the Bush administration and the Iraq War. Now it's a Trump/MAGA mockery song. Considering that Billie Joe Armstrong has yelled "gently caress YOU TRUMP" at nearly every concert for years now, it shows that the right wing has been paying zero attention to the band.

The Right maintains the fiction that it has a hegemonic monopoly on TRADITION and CULTURE, even though its looking back at 50-100 years of history, picking the ideas that won, and saying "this is me, I made this".

I'd forgotten all about Conservapedia until NPR did a segment on it this afternoon. Supposedly it has 29 active members/contributors. Used to be a thread about it here.
