I've lived in a small town and I was the victim of a violent crime there, so he's full of shit.

♫ I hate seeing welfare cheats getting those good Little Debbie fudge rounds
While I, a hard working American man, has to settle for those Great Value ones ♫

When I read the lyrics about a 5'2 obese person buying fudge rounds, I thought the song was some kind of joke.

Haha, that douchey singer got "cancelled by the right" today for not being racist enough.

Little Debbie, Great Value- it's all the fucking same crud. Little Debbie raised their prices anyway!

(Anonymous) 2023-08-24 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
wtf? isn't this guy like a millionaire or something? i'm sure he has plenty of money for little debbie snacks. why does he need to pretend he's poor and make up dumb bullshit?

(Anonymous) 2023-08-24 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
To be clear, that's actually a separate right-wing wank-bait song from the one that Jason Aldean did.

We live in stupid, stupid times.

The part of the secret in parentheses is referring to Oliver Anthony, the singer-songwriter of Rich Men of North Richmond, not Jason Aldean. But Oliver Anthony apparently lives in a $750 camper off-the-grid. He used to work in a paper mill and released the song independently. So, I think he's legit poor. Not that I think that means he's right.

The actual lyrics being referenced from Rich Men of North Richmond:
I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat
And the obese milkin' welfare.

Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground
'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down.

As a working-class (VERY working class) small town person whose family has had to rely on government aid, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you Aldean put a sock in it with this bullshit. Jesus Christ, what a moron.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-23 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It likely wouldn't mean anything to him because as a rich white guy, sundown towns aren't his problem... so they aren't a problem, period. But most likely he's bullshitting and singing about whatever he thinks will appeal to his demographic without an ounce of sincerity involved.

[personal profile] hey_hey_hey 2023-08-23 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Especially considering Jason Aldean didn't even grow up in a small town. He probably knows nothing about small towns besides probably admiring the sundown towns.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-23 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
My guess was more that he doesn't count it as crime if "outsiders" are involved, but that kinda amounts to the same thing, doesn't it.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-23 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
He doesn't know and he doesn't care. From what I hear he's just some phony little bitch who didn't even grow up in what he defines as a small town.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-24 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
I mean yes, that's very much who he's marketing to. Racists who would very much like to kill people not like them and reminisce about when they were allowed to do that more openly. I live in a small town. There are a lot of good things about it (and I'm an out lesbian) but it sure is racist.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-24 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
I suspect he doesn't know all that much about small towns. (I grew up in one.)

(Anonymous) 2023-08-24 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Cheat Welfare? Welfare is utter shit. It's absolute shit. Nobody wants to be on it and you don't get enough to survive on it as a child-free, single adult.

This this this! My disability payment is $600 a month, and although I get Medicaid (including dental, only there aren't any dentists within 50+ miles who take it unless you're under 18 or over 65), there are only a few doctors and pharmacies who take it, a lot of them suck, and only a handful of the specialists I really need to see accept it, so no more rheumatologist for my arthritic fibro-stricken ass!

But yeah, obviously people like me should just live in rags and subsist on beans and rice and whatever scraps get thrown down to us by our betters, who resent us even for that. /not bitter at ALL

(Anonymous) 2023-08-24 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm the anon you answered. I have arthritis in my knees but thankfully there's no pain. I found a rheumatologist that accepts my insurance this month.
They want us Medicaid people to accept shitty care from shitty dentists at shitty community health centers.

Yuuuup. Also, I'm glad you found a rheumatologist! I sure do miss my old one. :( She was honestly the best doctor I've ever had.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-24 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
THIS. Good lord, I'd love to meet the people idiots like him think are apparently living high off the hog on welfare, 'cause my family sure as shit clearly missed that boat, then.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-24 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
The thing to keep in mind is that a lot of people don't really fundamentally live in reality.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-24 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously. It's just refusing to see marginalised people as people in the same way he is, tbh; he's seeing rioting or resistance to police as like, mad uncontrolled violence. Rather than seeing it as a genuine example of what he's supposed to be singing about - a community coming together to resist violent attacks on its members.

Lmaoooooooo bro looks like a hairy big toe

(Anonymous) 2023-08-24 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Bro Country remains a plague on humanity. It’s like the concept of “All hat; no cattle” anthropomorphized and moved to Nashville.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-24 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
He knows exactly what a sundown town is, and he's all in favor of them.
