When did Rage Against the Machine get so political?
I mean, the machine is just a robot right? Like it's a band about fighting giant angry robots?

Brought to you by the MAGA terrorist organization and crime syndicate.
It feels almost trite at this point, but:
Wait is this real..? Are they saying the quiet part out loud again…? Screaming loud..?
What’s the context here?
Oof.
Thanks for the link. It’s one thing to be told “trust me bro”, and another entirely to… have context.
They’re attempting to desensitize people to the term and concept of domestic terrorist as well as to get conservatives to see domestic terror as their side
Yes it's real
God would protect her
Not a great plan.
It's a concept of a plan
Conservatism is harmful. It always has been.
In all of human history, nothing good has ever come from conservatism. Nothing. There is simply no place in a modern culture for harmful, regressive, hate-based ideologies like conservatism.
Yep. Conservatism is the antithesis of progress
By definition.
it's almost like we should do something about it instead of waiting for the government to do something about it.
it's almost like the world is on a collision course with a giant metaphorical iceberg while we stand idly by and do nothing.
it's almost like any amount of carnage and destruction would be better than a future in which we continue to let morons have a hand in guiding our society.

I miss when conservatives tried to conserve things like national parks (i.e. Teddy Roosevelt) instead of using conservatism as a mask for racism.
It's like, it seems appropriate for a two party system to have one party push for progress, while the other advises caution. But they dropped the euphemism and have been just blatantly racist/xenophobic/anti-other for far too long to pretend now that conservatism is anything else.
It's insane how much we have regressed with respect to this.
This country has always been racist, but at least since I've been alive, the general consensus is that racism is bad and it was never acceptable to be openly racist without being socially ostracized (to be fair, I'm referring to the region of the US where I grew up. I'm sure it varied by region).
The rise of Trump, and the ubiquity of social media has empowered these people to step out of the shadows, I guess, and show the true face of over 1/3 of voters in this country.
It fucking sucks to see
This isn't even the first time he's done this, remember what happened with Covid and Asian Americans? Just look at the hate groups that support him, he never really distances himself from them, and he riles them up or gives them a target whenever it behooves him to do so.
What we always suspected is now uncontestable; the US is rotting from within and racism is our disease.
In a way Trump supporters lifted a dirty bandaid from the back off this nation, allowing us to see what was festering underneath.
Wait, I'm not racist, I only hate dirty immigrants, it didn't matter what race they are
-racists, probably

People can be so stupid to believe such racist claims.
People can be so ~~stupid~~ racist to believe such racist claims.
It's easier to believe something when you're looking for an excuse and want it to be true.
Do they believe it or have they found a reason to persecute that they think other people will believe?
I hope the people who spread the lies about them get charged with incitement
They won't, but there's a very good chance some Haitian families will get SWAT'd by racist neighbors.
TFG is continuing to practice stochastic terrorism. Ugh.
the wildest thing about these claims, is that there's literally no evidence of this shit happening, at all.

A policeman walks to the corner of the building and, distracted by his phone, clashes into an italian coming from the other side. Both fall on their asses confused. Then, out of nowhere, a hooded person appears and starts to attack an italian. A policeman stands up and pulls them apart, asks a hooded man what this is about. Looking geniunely frustrated, they answer: 'I saw you and him, and I thought that it's finally happening.'
There are a lot of variations of this anecdote* that, for me, puts it pretty great. A dire and exaggerated social situation creates a minority group of short-fused people who are just one inch from acting on their frustration and biases or\and even dreams, they just need a call to action or\and a guarantee they won't be persecuted. And their orange monarch just mumbled something in his rant, accidentially this time unlike the Jan 6 coup attempt, and it enabled them to act. In spite of the nurturing the MAGA cult does to this group, they aren't enough to cause a snowballing effect just yet, but the ripple effect of his another random bullshit rant shows they are listening and can do covert, sneaky shit to other humans after just a whistle. It'd take a long time for the US to recover from trumpism.
* I believe the original one was about the nationalistic Black Hundreds and how they, enabled by tsarist police and the wealthy, started a string of chaotic pogroms, torching houses and hurting\killing hundreds of thousands.
While I agree whole heartedly with everything you typed. I just find it incredibly ironic that the story features an Italian. A group known for being persecuted but became famously racist as hell (Italian Americans included) with a prime minister with a hard on for facism.
Can confirm. From Italian American family, have no shortage of racism here...
My goddamn grandma never forgets to chime in on political conversations with the "and diseases! Don't forget the immigrats bring disease into our country!"
...ughhh
I have a MAGA coworker who goes on about how immigrants bring diseases because they're unvaccinated. She's also anti-vax.
Conservative Contradiction! They go hand in hand!
The police are the perpetrators.
Acid?
Because of some gibberish an old, senile man sputtered out? There haven't even been any pets eaten. Are they throwing acid just incase? Wtf is wrong with people.
A photo of the pet eating alien has been released...
