  • An ongoing fetishising of militaristic imagery so vague it ends up more fascist than the things it ostensibly protests. As one YouTube comment puts it: "When he sings "They will not control us", I do not know what he is talking about."

I don't listen to Muse at all but the kinds of imagery and language they seem to be using are largely taken from conspiracy theories, and fascism is basically what happens when conspiracy theory thinking is applied to politics, so there's a stronger connection there than just vague militarism.

The Globalist may be a sequel to Citizen Erased, but it's loving awful compared to that song because at least Citizen Erased seemed to have a degree of sincerity in it somewhere. The lyrics steep everything in this cloying, preachy 'WAKE UP SHEEPLE' tone which makes the entire album painful to listen to.
Have you considered that Muse are completely sincere but also incredibly stupid?
