It’s everywhere nowadays, and I think it needs to be discussed here as well, especially on a communist community as we are.
While I agree with the sentiment expressed in the song, some lines about fat people on welfare are absolutely baffling. As if they are the problem. What the hell?
But overall, this song speaks to me. I feel communist and workers really do understand the frustration of this song, and can build bridges.
It doesn’t speak to me. At all. Smells like astroturf to me.

~12 hours ago I decided not to make the following a post because “somebody on Twitter says…” isn’t worthy of a post. But Anthony smells very rotten to me. If he’s not proven to be a astroturf creation in the next few weeks or months - I will be very surprised.
this is very interesting - and astroturfing is definitely a possibility; I went to search this “@Lucky” guy mentioned in the article https://twitter.com/TheMAGAHulk - in particular this post: https://twitter.com/TheMagaHulk/status/1691126144056070144
I don’t know how much we should trust this guy. But what he says it’s interesting indeed.
Sometimes I have to actually try to avoid the urge to post something questionable or sketchy. I know better but I have - I don’t know what to call it - “poster’s urge” and I want to be first which is very dumb. If the astroturfing stuff is real - truth will out soon enough.
