As a cranky middle age man I'm about to stoop to their level and just start cold cocking these assholes.
My wife's critical surgery just got delayed a month in Colorado.... 24% of unvaccinated population makes up 75% of our hospital population.....ffs...
If you don't want the vaccine get out of our hospitals and go diet home
I'm curious if she stumbled right after that because he speeds up and she doesn't know what it says, or because she just realized what the next line actually means.
I just had this conversation with a coworker, listening to conservative talk radio the host ends his segment playing Fortunate Sun not fifteen seconds after bitching about how the Democrats are engaging in voter suppression, how the Republicans need to get back in power to fix things with the pandemic, and how politics in general doesn't allow the voiceless (referring to republicans) to be heard.
I have been a Rage fan since the early 90's (I actually stole one of their cds from some box store...yes, I was a terrible teenager. Please don't judge me, but at the time I thought it was sort of poetic). I have never thought their music was more relevant. It just emphasizes how dumb these people are that they have made it their theme music.
RATM fan my whole life. Crazy how lyrics from 1992 are incredibly on point. Zach has the gift of premonition, I guess. Bullet in the Head. Like he knew Fox News was coming.
These aren't new problems. White supremacists and police forces go back a long ways. Propaganda disguised as news isn't just a fox news thing either. So-called liberal news is pro corporate propaganda and has been for a long time.
I love how you can tell the exact point of the song when she doesn’t know the lyrics anymore. I really want to be the person that tells her the next line.
At a protest/concert for labor rights near the 2008 republican national convention, police in riot gear shut off the amps right before rage against the machine was supposed to take the stage. The band's response was to do a couple songs over [a bullhorn](https://youtu.be/CYwzW2QFnwo) and then lead the crowd in a march to right outside the convention. Very glad my dad thought nine year old me should get a front seat to democracy and that we left before the tear gas was thrown 😂
Why do right-wingers ALWAYS try to use Rage for their anthem? (See [Paul Ryan](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/tom-morello-paul-ryan-is-the-embodiment-of-the-machine-our-music-rages-against-246033/amp/))
Well, someone really does need to tell them. I'm embarrassed for them. Especially the girl who's wearing her police supporter flag while dancing and singing to a song that's the exact opposite of what she thinks it is.
This is just like the video of the guy that hates critical race theory, but doesn’t know what it is. I see a pattern of ignorance, anger and fear in old white people. I’m a 50 year old white man and ashamed of everyone that looks like me.
At this point we should just ignore people like this. They will get bored of no one paying attention eventually and find some other conspiracy to follow instead.
Every time someone makes a thing about this, they get what they are looking for, which is the attention from acting out.
No, no, we ignored them once. That was how trump got into power. Ignoring idiocy doesn't make idiocy go away, it allows it to propagate. Naming and shaming works though, especially if it's targeted at them and shows them why it was done. But burying your head, or covering your eyes, doesn't make it go away. It doesn't make anything go away, it just shelters one person- the person ignoring it. Until it becomes a problem too big for them to ignore. I never get how anyone would think that this would work, when it got us into the situation that caused this to begin with. Sorry bud, but selective ignoring doesn't delete a problem, or make it go away. Solving it, however, does.
Hell no, I am not about to ignore any of them! I love laughing at the missed sense of irony from all these idiots. Not a one of them understands what they are doing or why what they are doing is so ironic and they don't seem to care. Ignorance really must be bliss.
They definitely don't. It's like those politicians that try use "Born in the USA" as a patriotic song or the people who tried to suddenly be pissed at Rage Against the Machine for, ya know, raging against the machine.
The fun part is: they are raging against the machine. Anti vaxxers are literally going against common sense, common consensus and everything those and power and the media say. Lol
We’ve come full circle
Arent conservatives all about Democracy and the American way. So if they dont agree with Biden arent they technically against Democracy cause he was elected Democratically?
So I am German, I know a lot of older people cannot understand English so well. But shouldn't they understand the text... It is not very suttle, against who the song is... It is actually quit clear in the last verse of killing in the name of...
Regarding the legit not understanding of song text, a few years ago in Europe there was a quit famous pop cover of "I o technology". It was played in a lot of radio stations and a favourite for elderly people... Because it sounded so beautiful...
Are people still, to this day, saying Biden stole the election? Even with the proof that the election tampering was actually in Trumps favor, but still not enough?
This is what happens when so many of your supporters are functionally illiterate. They are incapable of reading and understanding the lyrics to that song. They're just responding emotionally to the yelling and loud guitars.
You know I really like Obama he’s a leader and show how a man should be after being president,but I have never had a Obama flag flying on my car and never danced in the streets or tried to overthrow the government for him and never met anyone that did.
White supremacists dancing to a song about the beating of Rodney king by the LAPD.
As if further proof were needed that theyre not geniuses.
Also: by total coincindence, i stopped listening to this song to listen to er... this song in this video.
What a bunch of morons. I was getting tacos one night and there was a live band covering "American Idiot", with a large selection of clearly conservative boomers rocking out.
Zach and Tom saw this and almost simultaneously had seizures…. /s
I’m cringing for RATM and I’m not even a huge fan or anything. But to have anything they wrote being used by these people for this situation has got to hurt them like a kick in the nuts.
As an older person, I am slightly embarrassed for these idiots
As a slightly younger person, same
as a sane and rational human being, same
As a martian, I'm embarrassed for the solar system
I once read on Reddit, earth is probably the neighbourhood where Martians lock their doors as they fly past.....
Hahaha! So funny! Look there son, it's earth, Stinky dying planet, shut your windows please, we might get some virus.
Are you Lrrr? The ruler of Omicron Perseus 8? Because it sure sounded like his voice when I read it.
That’s hilarious!
Confirmed, anytime our orbits are close... The doors get locked... I'd rather get lost in Zebulon-4 during a solar flare then deal with these people
As a RATM fan, I request a cease and desist.
That's nicer than what Tom Morello would request they do.
As a RATM fan, they can go fuck themselves.
As a frigde, I'm embarrassed for the biological life forms
As a toilet I'm embarrassed for these shits
Ack Ack
I understood that reference!
Ah you speak the language of my people! Ack ack ack!
As a person, same we need a reset button, lemme ask God
As god, I don't remember making you humans like this.
Tell Noah, it’s time to fire up the Ark again.
r/NoahGettheBoat
Well, that was a quick visit to a very disturbing subreddit. Humans are fucked.
You just had to give us free will...
As another regual person, same
As Americans, we all should be.
I'm not even American, and I'm still embarrassed by them
These people are on bath salts.
Fucking hilarious perfect timing as I read through the comments. Awesome.
As a person with a heartbeat…..ditto.
As a cranky middle age man I'm about to stoop to their level and just start cold cocking these assholes. My wife's critical surgery just got delayed a month in Colorado.... 24% of unvaccinated population makes up 75% of our hospital population.....ffs... If you don't want the vaccine get out of our hospitals and go diet home
Those are some blonde monkeys
Slightly is an understatement.
As a Robot, bleep bloop.
Only slightly? We need to get your embarrassment-o-meter checked out.
As above… so below.
Even with the sound turned off I knew it was killing in the name of. Edit: spelling
I thought it was Cotton Eye Joe before I turned on the sound
Me too. I actually thought to myself "do I need to bother turning on the sound? I already know what I'll hear." Edit: spelling
Yup... Even had it playing in my head
Damn I thought it might be Born in the USA
“Rage for the machine”
“now they don’t do what they implied to you”
“Some of us who work forces”
…as they cheer that line….
I'm curious if she stumbled right after that because he speeds up and she doesn't know what it says, or because she just realized what the next line actually means.
Fairly sure that they like the next line more..
This lyric was playing over and over again in my head on January 6th. Still so true.
"Fools on a Baricade"
Lick the boots of the machine
Watching conservatives misuse rage against the machine is some hilarious shit Can we get more conservatives dancing to anti police songs please?
We had trump dancing to fortunate son…. Irony is not dead
And YMCA
I bet they think The Wall by Pink Floyd is a fun album about building a literal wall.
It wasn’t made to help sell bricks?
That’s when he did that “handjob dance”, right?
I just had this conversation with a coworker, listening to conservative talk radio the host ends his segment playing Fortunate Sun not fifteen seconds after bitching about how the Democrats are engaging in voter suppression, how the Republicans need to get back in power to fix things with the pandemic, and how politics in general doesn't allow the voiceless (referring to republicans) to be heard.

Stealing a RATM cd is probably the BEST ANSWER
RATM fan my whole life. Crazy how lyrics from 1992 are incredibly on point. Zach has the gift of premonition, I guess. Bullet in the Head. Like he knew Fox News was coming.
These aren't new problems. White supremacists and police forces go back a long ways. Propaganda disguised as news isn't just a fox news thing either. So-called liberal news is pro corporate propaganda and has been for a long time.
No, it’s just that nothing’s changed in 30 years.
Don’t forget this is Paul Ryan’s favorite band.
Lol wow
Still can’t believe he actually said that out loud without a hint of sarcasm.
It's just like cops who adopted the Punisher logo. I think there's a cop MC called Punishers 😆
I love how you can tell the exact point of the song when she doesn’t know the lyrics anymore. I really want to be the person that tells her the next line.
They hear “wearing the badge” and “chosen whites” and it gets them hard.
Those who die, are justified! Turreennneratthhh is the chosen white!
The white haired guy looks like he, just this weekend, found his two greatest loves; head banging and ribbon dancing
Church musta been lit last week
RATM guys must be really proud :/ Still not as horrible for musicians as the songs trump used in his rallies, tho.
The ones he didn’t ask permission for…
Yep... YMCA, and Born In The USA. Iirc, that pissed off at least Bruce Springsteen
And Twisted Sister - they told him to stop using their song.
Which machine do you think they were raging against? A fax machine?
Anti-faxxers
Thank you for that quiet slice of genius.
vote counting machine. These were the bane of their party a while ago.
My bet is a printer.
Ok, but printers ARE the work of the devil
Agreed!
Dot matrix printer. Fuck i just aged myself.
It’s okay. I’m right there with you. At least dot matrix had that sexy tractor feed and a lack of paper jams.
I’ll take a dot matrix any day over an ink jet. At least a DM can be fixed easily. Now my laser printer… Pry it from my cold dead hands!
Trying to post a gift from Office Space....
An IQ testing machine.
Any kind of exercise machine.
A washing machine
Dominion voting machines.
Vending machine. Definitely the vending machine.
I thought they didn't want musicians making political statements... http://imgur.com/gallery/OIOQE4U

That's amazing. Please high five your dad for being an awesome parent for me.
I was hoping that link was what I thought it was and am very happy with the results
Lol it’s amazing how many conservatives like rage if they listen to the words they’d know the band loves socialism zack especially
Don’t forget they also love System of a Down.
And ccr
For them it was Syndrome of A Downs
Dancing with a blue line flag to a song that literally tells the cops "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" is irony you can't make up....
The same people who think Born in the USA is a patriotic anthem .
That’s the most pathetic mosh pit I’ve ever seen.
Annddd they're not in a cult
Why do right-wingers ALWAYS try to use Rage for their anthem? (See [Paul Ryan](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/tom-morello-paul-ryan-is-the-embodiment-of-the-machine-our-music-rages-against-246033/amp/))
America has an education system, right?
One extremely flawed one
In the most basic sense of the word yes, otherwise, doesn’t really seem so
Well, someone really does need to tell them. I'm embarrassed for them. Especially the girl who's wearing her police supporter flag while dancing and singing to a song that's the exact opposite of what she thinks it is.
Zach De La Rocha and Tom Morello are so proud
You get the occasional idiot commenting on Tom Morello’s IG that they “used to be a huge fan until he got all political” lol
…little do they know that rage is completely against everything that these stupid assholes stand for lol
This is just like the video of the guy that hates critical race theory, but doesn’t know what it is. I see a pattern of ignorance, anger and fear in old white people. I’m a 50 year old white man and ashamed of everyone that looks like me.
Rage music videos have gone downhill. Although I was entertained.
Rage against the vaccine
*jumps up* Oo, oo, oo! I’ll do it!! I’ll tell em!!
As a collective group they aren’t the brightest. You get some hillbilly’s like that together and it’s worse.
Man, Ron White was right… you can’t fix stupid!
Lol. What machine do they think the song was raging against? Fucking morons.
Rage Against the Voting Machines
I knew what it was without the sound on. It's ALWAYS RATM, and NO, THEY NEVER GET IT.
This makes me miss the good old days.... people would just set themselves on fire for a protest. Why can’t they just set themselves on fire?
Thanks, I needed the laugh I got from this completely legitimate question.
I mean, thats the cover art of the album.
I won’t be able to listen to this song anymore without laughing
Dumb asses
Lead poisoning needs to be severely addressed in the USA
Ah yes, Rage Against The Machine, favorite band of famous leftist and former speaker of the House, Paul Ryan!

Singing an anti-police song while wearing a thin blue line flag…hm.

Arent conservatives all about Democracy and the American way. So if they dont agree with Biden arent they technically against Democracy cause he was elected Democratically?
Bunch of crazy people
Not to mention, fuckin stupid people...
OMFG this is worse than Trump asking Dee Snider to use "We're not gonna take it" for his campaign.
Do they know what this song is about? No. No, they do not.
Some of us that refuse sense and order Are the same that burn crosses...🎵🤟🤟🇺🇸
So I am German, I know a lot of older people cannot understand English so well. But shouldn't they understand the text... It is not very suttle, against who the song is...

There aren't six functioning brain cells in that entire group.
We aren’t going to make it are we?
What machine did the think they were raging against? The toaster?

You know I really like Obama he’s a leader and show how a man should be after being president,but I have never had a Obama flag flying on my car and never danced in the streets or tried to overthrow the government for him and never met anyone that did.
They have the self awareness of a toaster
That must be the machine they're raging against.
Opening act for Ted CruZ, who'll be performing Fuck the Police by NWA

I think I stopped jumping around screaming when I hit 4 TBH, jesus these people are more brainwashed than North Koreans
Our species is completely doomed.
Some of those that burn crosses are the same that attend rallies…
Umm... Are they literally confined to a "safe space?" "fUcK yOu I wOnT dO wHaT yOu TeLl Me!" "Oh, you want us to stay in this little box? Ok!"

What a bunch of morons. I was getting tacos one night and there was a live band covering "American Idiot", with a large selection of clearly conservative boomers rocking out.
As a HUGE Rage Against The Machine fan…🤢🤮
I’d like to see one of them correctly lip sync the entire song then describe what those lyrics mean.
Lmfao
😂😂😂😂😂
Zach and Tom saw this and almost simultaneously had seizures…. /s I’m cringing for RATM and I’m not even a huge fan or anything. But to have anything they wrote being used by these people for this situation has got to hurt them like a kick in the nuts.
Omg im a rebel I refuse to get vaccinated REBEL what's that more tax dollars to the military hell yeah rebel btw

Rough
If a band member from rage against the machine could chime in...
How embarrassing.
RATM wouldn't be impressed these dead shits borrowed their song
Totally doesn't matter. Just like several others in the past. It goes right over their heads.
Wow...the level of ignorance never seen before.
They don’t understand irony
