    This doesn’t belong in News, so I’m downvoting this post, but if you repost it somewhere more appropriate, I would upvote it.

    Gotta love the irony of a song that condemns having to “pick a tribe and hate the other side” that still can’t manage to refrain from doing exactly that.

      She might have picked a side, but I can’t be 100% sure of which one just from the lyrics. In fact, if anything, it seems she hasn’t picked a side: she sides with one on some issues (e.g. Israel) and with the other on other issues (e.g. cancel culture).

      As a result, she’s probably angering both sides, which maybe was the whole point, who knows.

    She’s a right-wing anti-vaxxer Musk fan who is also against Israel’s genocide? What the fuck?

      Alright, I know nothing about this person or the song, but I went to read the article to see where it says she is an “anti-vaxxer” and a “musk fan”, as well as “against Israel’s genocide”:

      In the song, May rails against “big pharma,” a “man-made virus,” “cancel culture,” and a war that she brands “genocide.”

      This is the only passage I could find that remotely hints about her stance about those things and I see the controversial “man-made virus” line, but that just means she believes the virus was man-made, e.g. it came from Wuhan’s lab, which is a hypothesis that was seriously considered, though still found less likely than the zoonotic one.

      Nothing there says she’s against vaccines. It does say she’s against Israel’s genocide though, assuming that’s the war being referred here (lyrics seem to confirm that).

      Searching for “vax” or “vaccine” in the entire article yields nothing.

      Searching for “musk” yields this verse in the lyrics:

      Mr. Musk, he said some s***, the lefts are angry

      Which… doesn’t seem to imply she’s a fan either (she might be, mind you, but one can’t conclude that from this article).

      So, when reading an article, let’s not extrapolate beyond what’s reasonable.

          That’s strange, as I made mistake - in the article is written that she was “medical doctor” not a nurse.

            I was responding to your nurse claim, not what the article said. You said she was a doctor in your summary. And again, I know what she believes because I read the article. She’s an anti-vaxxer. That’s what the Big Pharma stuff is about. I’m not sure why you’re trying to argue that she isn’t anti-vax when she really obviously is.

            But fine, if you want to make this a big gotcha, you got me. I didn’t point out that you were wrong and she wasn’t a nurse.

            She’s still anti-vax. Hence the Big Pharma stuff that isn’t both the article and the lyrics you’re convinced I didn’t read. I’m not sure why you think I even suggested she was anti-vax if you think I didn’t read it.

    Is this news or pop culture bullshit?

      The latter, but OP appears to be a fan.

      It’s news - as she was kicked from work and also the manager abandoned her as she refused to change the lyrics of the song

      "Man made virus watch the millions die

      Biggest profit of their lives

      Here’s inflation that’s your prize

      This is Karmageddon

      Turn on the news and eat their lies

      Kim or Kanye pick a side

      Cancel culture what a vibe

      This is Karmageddon

      Corporations swear they never lie

      Politicians bribed for life

      More than war it’s genocide

      This is Karmageddon"

        Oh ok, so she wanted to make a shitty pop song that contained scientific misinformation…

          That is a far preferable thing.

          Also:

          In 2018, THQ Nordic bought the rights to the Carmageddon intellectual property.

          So never expect to see a decent Carmageddon reboot if there ever is one again.

    This isn’t news. There’s wars going on, corruption in the U.S. government, LA’s in a literal firestorm, and… this? By the way, it happened last week, no one cared then, certainly don’t give a fuck now.
