      Fuuuuuuckkkk I miss SOAD, I miss those bands that really had a message back then, the songs that would rile you up, make you think, make you realize… RATM!

        Protest music is still ongoing, if not stronger than ever. Hell, even Morello is politically active, look at his merch line

        Grandson - Brainrot

        Grandson - Self Immolation (honestly this whole album is bomb)

        Green Day - F Off (2025)

        Pussy Riot - Putin’s Ashes (2023)

        Garbage - No Horses (2017)

        DJ Shadow + RTJ - Nobody Speak (2016) (bit older but just as relevant)

        Pussy Riot - Make America Great Again (2016)

        Art is and will forever be a form of protest

            I get that. It’s not on the same level as RATM, the lyrics hit, but it’s more of just talking shit than a full message. RATM brought you into a world. RTJ just kinda takes pot shots. It simply doesn’t have quite the impact.

        Unfortunately the US has allowed president’s to effectively start wars since the 1973 War Powers Resolution Act. It allows any US president to engage in a conflict for up to 60 days without congressional approval.

        60 days is a long fucking time, once the military is involved congress knows it can’t just pull out of a country. So we always stay

      Who is gonna stop him?

      Congress and SCOTUS will pat his head and tell him he is a good boy.

      No other country or combination of countries can stop the US military if it backs him. Honestly I don’t see anything stopping him except the US military at this point and that would be extremely improbable.

        It’s because the people who sign up to the military are not good people. Thinking it’s right to protect the united States is fucking pathetic. Nationalism and Patriotism is bad. It’s borders and bigotry. Xenophobia and fear. Tribalism.

        The entire Human species is fucking pathetic garbage. But yeah, the people defending this evil empire are self-delusional simple-minded ape-fucks.

        The entire airspace in the Caribbean in front of and above Caracas has been saturated with ratio interference radiation for days now. The few planes still flying are having trouble with comms, GPS and radio referenced navigation. There are other ways to enforce this crap without shooting rockets. It’s a shit show.
