“I love our country, I want to see it restored to what it once was before all this bullshit started happening to us,” country singer tells crowd after “long-ass week” of controversy
As we all know, the Chinese government has been trying to weaken the American Music Industry for quite some time now. They are using various tactics like releasing their own music, promoting their artists on social media platforms, etc. One of their major strategies is to release songs that appeal to the younger generation. However, they have not succeeded in gaining much success. But what they did recently, was to try and sway our country’s music industry by using their influence over the media and other platforms. They launched a massive campaign to discredit one of our most talented country musicians Jason Aldean, who released a controversial song “Try That in a Small Town”.
People started accusing him of supporting lynching which is completely ridiculous and absurd. But what the Chinese government wants us to believe, is that this song is a threat to their agenda of replacing our country music industry with their own. And that is why they are using every possible means to disrupt his career and discourage people from listening to his music.
So, I request everyone to stand up against this conspiracy and support our homegrown talent. Buy his albums, go to his concerts and show your solidarity towards him. Let’s not let them succeed in their attempt to weaken our music industry and culture. We need to come together as a community and stand united against any such attempts made by the Chinese government.
Let’s not forget that we have the best music industry in the world and we will not allow anyone to undermine it. Thank you!
Long live American Music Industry! 🏳️ 🏳️ 🏳️
Why doesn’t Aldean make a video about the other side of the coin? Yet another example of police brutality against young black men!
Restore our country to what it was? Oh, you mean having black people in the back of the bus and LGBTQ people in the closet.
Personally, if we’re going to revert anything to the 1950’s, I say bring back the 1950’s tax brackets. In 1955, anything a person earned over $400,000 ($4.4 million in today’s money) was taxed at 91%.
your reading to far into it. just like the people who think the song is racist. which btw prove me wrong and find one line in the song that mentions, race religion, or ethnicity
Was your schooling so poor that you never learned about using figurative language?
we just never learned that exact phrase, or what the petal papers said. many schools are trying to take racism out of history which defeats the purpose of teaching racism is bad. so alot of units got cut by the school board because of being racist which i still dont understand because we read to kill a mocking bird, that book made me feel very uncomfortable. although i did enjoy the discussion on this thread and i got to learn alot of history. also im assuming this isnt satire or poor shaming and is an actually question. thanks
You’re arguing in bad faith. The poster said that wanting culture to regress ignores the fact that our culture used to be cruel to minorities. The reason people weren’t canceled for being conservative is that liberal democracy was oppressing minorities to satisfactory levels for these bigots. Now that liberal democracy is being less bigoted, conservatives like this guy want to get rid of the it. The statement is racist, while the song is anti freedom of speech and definitely anti American.
Well Mr Aldean did choose a stunningly iconic shooting location for the video. As the Washington Post reported:
Aldean’s performance backdrop is the Maury County Courthouse, which at times appears to be on fire as images of burning American flags are projected onto it. It’s the same building where a mob hanged 18-year-old Henry Choate from the balcony in 1927. The teen had been accused of attacking a White girl who never identified him as her assailant, and whose mother begged the mob to let him stand trial.
Columbia is also the site of an infamous 1946 race riot that nearly resulted in the lynching of future Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall.
The footage he used in the video seems to equate civil rights protesting as violent crime and rioting, in the judicial use of footage from these types of events that are juxtaposed in his music video.
The video itself is a little silly in that small towns are not responsible for civil rights movements as they are inherently a very conservative environment, that does not foster independent thought. Surprise surprise. However, the video has a very pro conservative tone that implies that protesting will be met by violence as it is equated as a violent act itself.
this is in no way reliable information you might as-well give a a hand written note saying “i want to be right” the music video that you are trying to reference at https://invidious.slipfox.xyz/watch?v=b1_RKu-ESCY which is official. Has no newspaper clipping that your false information has, also site your sources for credibility
also lets say the hypothetical that this is real Tictok is by no means credible for news, secondly music videos are done by hired directors which usually have nothing to do with the song for example, Hoziers take me to church. if you read the lyrics it says nothing out gay people when the music video shows about the over reach of the catholic church on gay people. two completly seprate things the music and the music video
