Those idiots at muchmusic have started their annual "be grateful to a soldier" bullshit they like to do at this time of year. We all know that mainstream ( and some underground) rock and pop music ceased to be a force for rebellion decades ago. There are always noteable exceptions, but for the most part, this shit is pro-imperialist, misogynistic, and just plain fucking stupid.
Why am I supposed to be grateful? For my fucking freedom? What about the freedom denied those elsewhere because of the adventures kkkanadian troops get involved with, especially when it comes to supporting the amerikkkans stealing other peoples' resources and keeping them in slave labour-like conditions? Can I support kkkanadians helping the yanks out in places like Afghanistan, when it's clear that civilians are being murdered? No. And now kkkanada is sending troops and killer jets to Syria. For my freedom.Total and utter bullshit. Especially when it's "our" allies who armed and supported ISIS until very recently (more on this in another post). And it comes down to those morons at the "nation's music station" being grateful for the freedom to air horrible crap like miley fucking cyrus licking construction tools. You've gotta be fucking kidding me. Here are some stats on the "great kkkanadian way of life", that the troops are bound to uphold with their lives if necessary:
