I once had a dark vision of loading up all the printers I “managed” (they manage us really), driving over to HP, and catapulting them at the building or/and parking lot while screaming things like
“Out of toner motherfuckers!”
“Cancel this print job”
“Oh look it’s time for another update to enhance my experience”
“As far as i’m concerned you and Pink are completely done.”
I know the article calls this out too but WHAT!? I mean, good for this guy for having diverse tastes in music, but Pink went full pop basically in her second album. (If I recall correctly, it was a long time ago and I’m not a huge Pink fan). But Pink has never hidden her tendency towards activism.
And not to gatekeep, I get that people enjoy music for different reasons, but it just seems odd that someone would actually be a fan of Rage Against the Machine and expect anything less. And again, the guy acknowledges Rage’s political activist nature in the article, but now it’s apparently too much since he no longer agrees with their message. That sure sounds like “cancel culture” to me.
Yes, the tendency of right wingers to define themselves as oppressed victims seems to add to them regularly identifying with left perspectives for all the wrong reasons.
Another very weird example if this was a young female nationalist and xenophobe from Germany, who unironically covered the radical anti colonialist Get Up, Stand Up by Bob Marley and The Wailers, in a cringe af YouTube video. Before anyone asks, I sadly was not able to find it anymore, otherwise I would have posted a link for your amusement of course.
Then there was also the teenage anti-vaxxer, who held a speech at a protest organized by the Querdenker movement (german localization of QAnon) and seriously compared herself to Anne Frank during WWII, because she illegally held her birthday party in secret during the covid lockdown. You can´t make this shit up …
Definitely a printer

Yep, sure has ‘don’t make me uncomfortable for having politics that sanction oppression’ energy to it.
I hadn’t seen Tom Morello’s reply. That’s brilliant
