    how seriously I take a work of art is my prerogative. If one is not comfortable with criticism, they should keep their thoughts to themsef.

    how do you reconcile a position which claims to care about folks without enough to eat, with the line complaining about welfare (food assistance)?

    furthermore, it isn’t even critical of the capital-owning class or the system which protects the institution of private capital, just an ephemeral ‘rich man up north’ (this is a reactionary dogwhistle, if you’re not familiar with the US)

    the song is an-cap trash.

      Totally not, you are broking logic here. If you cannot control your hysteria, it strange that you expect others to not answer you.

      wrong position, but remains popular narrative among working people. If people already struggle with poverty, it is good start to explain reasons of it.

      furthermore, it isn’t even critical of the capital-owning class or the system which protects the institution of private capital, just an ephemeral ‘rich man up north’ (this is a reactionary dogwhistle, if you’re not familiar with the US)

      not familiar with this “rich man up north” thing, to me it sounds like “rich” in general. Is this real marker of far right anarcho capitalism adepts in usa?

      If there is real use of some words or hidden signs of far right usa slang, just share it here and educate others politely, I’m sure people here including me would like to be aware of such things. Any opportunity should be used to educate people.

        you’re projecting a lot of your own discomfort and lack of understanding/ context onto me.

          You had a chance to describe all things wrong about this song to every one. Instead, you were acting as an angry Chihuahua, using big words doubly understanding the meaning of it. You lost my attention here.

            I have, with very specific language. you’ve simultaneously accused me of not explaining myself, and of using ‘big words,’ which by your own admission you do not understand. maybe you should focus on understanding my argument before trying to refute my position. attacking me personally, accusing me of anger/ irrationality, is not an effective argument.

                your head is so full of neoliberal brain- worms that you cannot recognize a leftist criticism. you’re literally defending bigotry/ reactionary entryism.

                    “And the obese milkin’ welfare”

                    “…if you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge round”

                    as if fat people and social welfare programs are the problem.
