      I’ve always been a mega SoaD fan but the last year or so the songs hit so fucking hard

    • Barbarisms by Barbaras

      With pointed heels

      Victorious Victorias kneel

      For brand new spanking deals

      Marching forward, hypocritic

      And hypnotic computers

      You depend on our protection

      Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

      Crazy how much the lyrics written for shit happening under W fit better with what’s going on now.

        Yeah, and especially for how popular it was back then it can be haunting to listen to old hits from bands like SOAD and RATM.

    It’s funny how this reads as: look over here, look how vulnerable he is. I certainly hope something doesn’t happen to him. Right. HERE.

    I see a lot of people wishing harm on the guy. Do you guys even know anything about him? Because it seems you are all wishing him the worse just because of who his dad is. Shouldn’t need saying that that is extremely fucked up.

      i think it is frustration at the merciless and targeted killing of children during Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Israel really went whole hog on killing kids and i will probably have nightmares of seeing those little souls gunned down or blown to bits intentionally by Israel

      It’s nice to see these remarks every now and then, really throws humanity back into us amidst our anger. Sometimes I think world leaders could use a bit of that lol

      For all I bet most of us know, he could be a big POS, but he could also be someone normal who just happens to be son of a world leader. I just don’t forecast getting worked up over the political life of a no-name son is quite the healthiest approach.

      yep. guilt by association is toxic mentality… and yet people on here LOVE IT. They don’t care about ‘justice’ they care about punishing who they perceive to be guilty of not being ‘good’.

      I bet half of the think their parents are racist, and by their logic they are also racist by association. The rules they apply to others, don’t apply to themselves. THEY ARE THE EXCEPTION.

      I’ve had weirdos tell me that I’m a Nazi because I did a project on Nazis in 10th grade and clearly if I did academic work on Nazism, I am clearly a secret Nazi. I also read The Origins of Totalitarianism in college, clearly FURTHER EVIDENCE of my guilt.

    Controversial opinion: more young Israelis should do what this man is doing. They should say “lol fuck this shit, who wants to be fighting anyway” and move out of Israel. North American and European countries should welcome them with open arms. Anti-aliyah. Who needs a shithole apartheid bunker state anyway? Settlers move out, come live free from that shit and Free Palestine.

      OTOH, the children of leaders calling for war should be the first on the front lines.

        The more you say stupid shit like this the closer we come to a draft where Barron is sent to whereever the safest place near-ish the front lines is.

        You are sleepwalking into a draft and you should be ashamed for even suggesting it. Like, genuinely — you are a stupid, bad fucking person for hoping for a draft.

        Edit: Interesting how many troglodytes came out of the woodwork, and half of them are Canadian. When children, your children, start to die as a result of the world you’ve helped build — I will not let you forget.

          Drafting the kids of leaders first in any draft makes a draft less likely dude. No amount of deranged anger from you is going to change that.

          I think the point of the draft “thought experiment” they were proposing was to stop people from starting these wars and conflicts if they had a personal stake in it.

          There’s this NPR episode I heard where they said that the codes to the nuke should be in someone’s heart and that person carries a suitcase with a knife. To get the nuke, the president should plunge the knife into that man to do it. It’s absolutely horrific and bloody but to kill many from afar you should at least be able to do one up close. I think that the person that recommended it said he’d be the first volunteer and would love that job. He’d make best friends with the president and get to know their kids, just to make the decision absolutely impossible.

          I’d like to think that’s what they were getting at? Your response to the thought experiment seemed confusing at first but I think what you’re getting is that they’d just send the kids to safe areas of the war, rather than anything real anyways, right? which makes sense … politicians would weasel to get their own skin out. I’m not 100% sure why that’d lead to a draft? Do you mean in retribution they’d take it out on others and protect their own?

          Anywho, from another Canadian. ✌️

              it seems you have severe issues with reading comprehension, so I will spell out: the leaders are calling for draft, not that user. that user targeted these pre-existing leaders with their statement.
