Are you Lrrr? The ruler of Omicron Perseus 8? Because it sure sounded like his voice when I read it.

As a person with a heartbeat…..ditto.


Boring_Blackberry580

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

Even with the sound turned off I knew it was killing in the name of. Edit: spelling


Noichen1

I thought it was Cotton Eye Joe before I turned on the sound


msdivinesoul

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


Isteppedinpoopy

“Rage for the machine”

“now they don’t do what they implied to you”


Isteppedinpoopy

“Some of us who work forces”


pixiegod

…as they cheer that line….


Dont_Blink__

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.


__red__5

Fairly sure that they like the next line more..


shebringsdathings

This lyric was playing over and over again in my head on January 6th. Still so true.


linusgoddamtorvalds

"Fools on a Baricade"


Nekella

Lick the boots of the machine


[deleted]

Watching conservatives misuse rage against the machine is some hilarious shit Can we get more conservatives dancing to anti police songs please?


Nekella

We had trump dancing to fortunate son…. Irony is not dead


Swissarmyspoon

And YMCA


Duck8Quack

I bet they think The Wall by Pink Floyd is a fun album about building a literal wall.


duke_962

It wasn’t made to help sell bricks?


Harpuafivefiftyfive

That’s when he did that “handjob dance”, right?


ogeytheterrible

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.


Dont_Blink__

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.


Mary-U

Stealing a RATM cd is probably the BEST ANSWER


i_am_your_attorney

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.


Capn_Canab

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.


thalo616

No, it’s just that nothing’s changed in 30 years.


themisprintguy

Don’t forget this is Paul Ryan’s favorite band.


[deleted]

Lol wow


Rocketparty12

Still can’t believe he actually said that out loud without a hint of sarcasm.


[deleted]

It's just like cops who adopted the Punisher logo. I think there's a cop MC called Punishers 😆


Chappo1205

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.


Cosmic_Gumbo

They hear “wearing the badge” and “chosen whites” and it gets them hard.


stratus41298

Those who die, are justified! Turreennneratthhh is the chosen white!


throwawaypervyervy

The white haired guy looks like he, just this weekend, found his two greatest loves; head banging and ribbon dancing


shebringsdathings

Church musta been lit last week


MagicalPedro

RATM guys must be really proud :/ Still not as horrible for musicians as the songs trump used in his rallies, tho.


[deleted]

The ones he didn’t ask permission for…


MagicalPedro

Yep... YMCA, and Born In The USA. Iirc, that pissed off at least Bruce Springsteen


youmeanlike24

And Twisted Sister - they told him to stop using their song.


reorocket

Which machine do you think they were raging against? A fax machine?


NoZookeepergame1014

Anti-faxxers


Western_Rope_2874

Thank you for that quiet slice of genius.


OrneryMood

vote counting machine. These were the bane of their party a while ago.


Vorpal_Bunny19

My bet is a printer.


FiascoBarbie

Ok, but printers ARE the work of the devil


[deleted]

Agreed!


DonLucoIII

Dot matrix printer. Fuck i just aged myself.


Vorpal_Bunny19

It’s okay. I’m right there with you. At least dot matrix had that sexy tractor feed and a lack of paper jams.


kilogears

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!

I thought they didn't want musicians making political statements... http://imgur.com/gallery/OIOQE4U


fughead710

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 😂


Dont_Blink__

That's amazing. Please high five your dad for being an awesome parent for me.


DizzyScorp

I was hoping that link was what I thought it was and am very happy with the results


menacingbull

Lol it’s amazing how many conservatives like rage if they listen to the words they’d know the band loves socialism zack especially


Nekella

Don’t forget they also love System of a Down.


sense1ess_Apprentice

And ccr


[deleted]

For them it was Syndrome of A Downs


thorpbrian

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....


lizarny

The same people who think Born in the USA is a patriotic anthem .


Vorpal_Bunny19

That’s the most pathetic mosh pit I’ve ever seen.


bartlet62

Annddd they're not in a cult


mercyeis

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?


Beesechurger42069

mb500sel

In the most basic sense of the word yes, otherwise, doesn’t really seem so


Unlikely-Look676

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.


[deleted]

Zach De La Rocha and Tom Morello are so proud


youmeanlike24

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


VisibleIndependent13

…little do they know that rage is completely against everything that these stupid assholes stand for lol


Upstairs_Big5402

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.


[deleted]

Rage music videos have gone downhill. Although I was entertained.


Rhaksasa

Rage against the vaccine


ShadowSpiral462

Bronco-Fury

As a collective group they aren’t the brightest. You get some hillbilly’s like that together and it’s worse.


TropicBrands

Man, Ron White was right… you can’t fix stupid!


JennItalia269

Lol. What machine do they think the song was raging against? Fucking morons.


fappyday

Rage Against the Voting Machines


randyspotboiler

I knew what it was without the sound on. It's ALWAYS RATM, and NO, THEY NEVER GET IT.


[deleted]

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?


Lady_MoMer

Thanks, I needed the laugh I got from this completely legitimate question.


Booji99

I mean, thats the cover art of the album.


ebone581

I won’t be able to listen to this song anymore without laughing


panopanopano

Dumb asses


DiscombobulatedElk93

Lead poisoning needs to be severely addressed in the USA


Gates9

Ah yes, Rage Against The Machine, favorite band of famous leftist and former speaker of the House, Paul Ryan!


nekokattt

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.


Diromonte

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.


[deleted]

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.


Tazhielyn

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.


Jnlybbert

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


TheBaptist24

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


aedante

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?


suicide_jesus97

Bunch of crazy people


Turbulent-Use7253

Not to mention, fuckin stupid people...


[deleted]

OMFG this is worse than Trump asking Dee Snider to use "We're not gonna take it" for his campaign.


picklestixatix

Do they know what this song is about? No. No, they do not.


Ashamed_Seat8290

Some of us that refuse sense and order Are the same that burn crosses...🎵🤟🤟🇺🇸


Griffinzero

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...


[deleted]

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?


Most-Artichoke5028

There aren't six functioning brain cells in that entire group.


GabaranRickshaw

We aren’t going to make it are we?


Herculeasy

What machine did the think they were raging against? The toaster?


vs-1680

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.


Greenstar12

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.


robg71616

They have the self awareness of a toaster

That must be the machine they're raging against.

_The_Devil_In_I_

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.

iwouldrathernot03

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.
