The best part is the line immediately before it. “We got hungry people on the streets” or something similar, right before complaining about food stamps.
If giving the hungry poor and homeless people free food isn’t their solution to “we got hungry people on the streets” I wonder what is…
Also there’s a weird as fuck line where he complains that we care too much about minors on islands (Epstein) and not enough about miners. Is that really the issue? Too much emphasis on billionaire pedophiles?
You’re telling me that in the year of our lord 2023, people believe that welfare alone is enough to cover housing, food, and clothing? This really ought to set anyone with a brain completely off. You know how much you get from the government on welfare? Not even 500 fucking dollars
LMFAO how brainwashed can you possibly be?
id be willing to wager a $20 he used A.I. software and tweaked it for these lyrics. everyone commenting has been skirting, what i think, to be just a new trend in bait music.
The song is bad yet just cognitive enough to cause a stir.
Throwback to when @destineenstark gave an 8m3s discussion and analysis on TikTok spelling out how DESPITE Jason Williams swearing that all the video from “try that in a ‘small’ town” is all original and genuine, one thing is from Berlin, Germany, another from Plovdiv, Bulgaria, another stock image from somewhere else…
Don’t forget how infectious stupid can be, especially when under pressure
As it’s relevant, let’s remember the video Hank Green posted on TikTok discussing how “for every word expressing a negative emotion in a headline, that increased the click-through rate to that article by 2.3%” and "if they make us disgusted, outraged, frustrated, scared? Then? Then we start thinking about clicking
It looks to reference this article from Nature:

This isn’t political memes
Memes supersede the idea of political memes and encompasses them as well
Can I ask what made you feel the need to share your bitching and moaning about a meme you could’ve easily scrolled by with the rest of the class?
There was somewhere this could be posted where Americans can meme about their politics, this isn’t a “general” meme that people from outside the US would understand or care about.
Let me know what else I can do for extra credit.
Users will continue to post about things that affect them in their own location, which sometimes means posting about stuff that isn’t globally understandable.
It’s meme community lmfao, are you really crying about pedantics
I didn’t say race. I said Confederacy. The lyrics continuously dogwhistle about the mason dixon line and the union / confederacy divide.
Can it really be populist and anti-corporate if it repeats talking points from Raegan? And if it was almost certainly funded and put in front of us by a think tank?
The lyrics are extremely basic and not creative in the slightest. They make gestures towards working class solidarity, but are petit bourgeois attitudes wrapped in redneck aesthetics for comfortable middle class folk. Songs like this are a dime a dozen, and I’m sure you can find another song like this, especially in country/bluegrass, without the racist undertones.
