Yea with the amount of USB-A stuff still in circulation everyone dropping it early was so fuckin’ weak. That’ll shit’ll still be useful a decade from now.

I think I’m gunna follow the example of the smarter people in your life and leave this conversation. Peace out ✌️

The modern rich are so uncreative, it’s quite sad.

I already learned, I know what the song is about now and I not only knew it long time ago but I literally had already said that. You aren’t teaching anyone anything, you just tried to mock me for not knowing something.

I hope you find, one day, something kinder to fill that gaping hole in your personality. This ain’t it.

Oh I’m so sorry, it was four lines back to back and three of them were just saying his name. Will you ever forgive me? Please, your admiration is all that I crave!

I know that you’ve never missed something small that you frankly weren’t paying much attention to in the first place. Teach me your ways, enlightened one.

Bro I was a kid and didn’t know what “Southern Man” even was, either, and the concept of a person from the south isn’t exactly unique to the song by that name.

Christ, you’re an asshole.

I was a lot younger when I first heard it. I did think it was a little weird but not enough for that young Canadian white boy to really have too much of an opinion. The only “plainly laid out” reference to “Southern Man” is a single line referring to this “Neil” I also didn’t really know anything about at the time.

Ok so you didn’t read my comment.

I’ll be honest, I’d rather see a culture of voting in general, and most apathatic people probably aren’t so driven by fear that they’ve lost themselves to conservative brainrot. Trump voters aren’t the ones staying home, we know this.

To reiterate: Out of any avenue someone could take at voting time I hate non-voters the most and it’s not even close. They’re either completely fine with being unaware of the major decisions that run their country and impact their lives or they’re some high-horse riding dipshit acting like they’re better than everyone else while handing elections over to the worst people. I’ve also seen way to many places go conservative because of people who say shit like “I dunno [the left wing candidate(s)] just didn’t energize me” and I’m like bitch I’ll fucking energize you with this here cattle prod now get moving.

Seriously, at least a scared dipshit conservative is doing something about their situation and staying involved even if they did get stuck following liars and grifters.

Except that regularly calls many of them garbage and they seem to like that kinda thing.

I am, truly, impressed by how much you want to fight me because I said that maybe we shouldn’t be supporting massively horrible people and that we can do so very easily.

It’s a weird hill to die on but at least you’re dying and that’s a win for us all.

I didn’t say it’s a brag, I said it’s extremely easy to not consume content when you know that the people who produced it are garbage. I wasn’t even asking people to look up the histories of every artist they’ve ever seen.

Man, really hurt that I’m ok to just not watch some fuckin’ movies, eh?

I’m literally making the point that these aren’t huge, inspiring sacrifices. You’re not only weak, but stupid. Congratulations, I guess.

Not on purpose. Keep up, dumbass.

I haven’t seen ‘em and I’m doing perfectly ok. And guess what, I didn’t know he was involved and now I’m gunna not watch ‘em even harder. It’s just that easy.

They heard “Southern Man” and went so hard “not all southerners” that they even included the line directly telling Neil to fuck off. One of their black back-up singers went on to cover “Southern Man” as a little bit of a personal win for her. Lynyrd Skynyrd could have done a million things that weren’t that in response but instead they wrote that little piece of whiny-baby bullshit. They did it all on their own, without their base needing to misinterpret anything. Fuck ‘em, I got loads of fantastic music to listen to without giving that one any of my time.

People have literally died for their rights and we’re so damned soft we can’t even just consume different yet equally good, or better, media and that’s fuckin’ weak. Sometimes we aren’t given much choice but it’s not like we’re hurting for high-quality music, TV, and literature. It’s so fucking easy.

“I separate people and their art” people are the fuckin’ worst and huge part of the problem, too, since they don’t do a damn thing to incentivise those losers to stop what they’re doing, either.

When I learned that “Sweet Home Alabama” was in bitter response to Neil Young’s “Southern Man” I just stopped listening to it. There is so much music in the world, I’ve been fine without Lynyrd Skynyrd. I also don’t think I’ve ever seen a Mel Gibson movie and I seem to be ok.

They’ve show they don’t care about the sexual abuse of young boys and they certainly don’t worry about such things as people of colour being human beings.

Is it? It’s literally an advertisement against a presidential candidate that’s only clever if you’re stupid trying to call her a cunt straight to her face. And then the “clever disguise” is that they say they really mean “communist” which is just completely wrong if you have the requisite two braincells to knock together.

It’s not the word that’s got people pissed it’s the fact that the Trump campaign is using it to attack a political opponent they couldn’t hold a candle to. I have no idea how you missed that.
