See guys? Comments like this one. Note how the premise of my comment was ignored and they engaged in ad hominem, while saying (without saying) that you should ignore them completely. This is the kinda fud to look out for
Sorry I'm just replying to the bait you put in the first sentence of your comment.
Have fun hanging out with 90s finance bros in the pit while they complain about ratm being too political while sipping their 20 dollar beers
My point is their message definitely has less.meaning when its wrapped in Pepsi and hand sanitizer ads the only people who can afford to pay for it are apathetic die hard fans who are conditioned to ignore the hypocracy and rich assholes who want a night out to say they saw this band before they died.
I was invited to this by one of those die hard fans who bought an extra ticket. The entire experience was absolutely disgusting.
Don't apologize, you did a great job. Now id like you to read the entire chain along with snowden's words so you can catch up on the whole point of this thread. Do this and you'll be less "object lesson" and more "lesson learned".
I'll edit my comment too. See how this commenter is doubling down? They offer nothing, (even couched within their ad hominem), of substance. I mean to say that they disparage the "message" as having "less meaning"without really explaining why.
Indeed, the commenter invites the reader (by agreeing with them) to engage in 'virtue signaling' (by again saying without saying), conflating their distaste for corporate sponsorship and expensive tickets (something we all share) with a reason to not listen to RATM at all.
It's another great example of bad reasoning one might fall prey to if one doesn't engage in critical thinking.
No, I'm replying to your reference to an irrelevant band who sold their image warner bros and perpetuates all of this through continuing to tour under these conditions.
Ok, youre one of them who can't stop replying when their feeling are hurt. Shoot your last shot in, and go smoke a cig or something, cuz it's the last reply for you today. Ill check in with you later, maybe in a week.
It doesn't help that their best song is a cover
