Wait, he calls what he does singing? it’s more like a recitation of a top 40 song from at best a dozen years ago, why are we left with kid rock and no Chris Cornell?
Kid Rock makes music for people who don’t pay their child support
Kid Rock makes music for people who have tattoos of their kids but not custody of them
Kid Rock makes music for people who tattoo their kids
Kid Rock makes music for people that beat their kids
Kid Rock makes music for people that rock kids.
Kid Rock is neither a kid, nor a rock.
Holy fuck.
Kid rock makes music for people that make hotdog soup
from tattoo’d hotdogs.
Acoustics designed to resonate perfectly in a trailer.
Has Kid Rock even made music since 1998? That was the last time I heard new Kid Rock music.
He prefers to sing for Nazis and pedophiles.
“sing”
Yell
I only sing for Nazis - Kid Rock
And his lyrics for Osmosis Jones indicate he might be singing for another type of fan
Hahaha
A persons inability to differentiate between slightly progressive policies and communism, is a gigantic blood red flag indicating that they are a trash person and not worth talking to.
The most fair but unfavourable (according to them) interpretation of his policies would be socialist, to be a communist he would have to have been a dictator who seized power with force rather than democratically elected. But honestly it’s debatable about whether or not the policies he is proposing go far enough to really be in the realm of socialist. It’s basically just left wing progressive.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was American no one would be batting an eye. Come to Europe and say those things and everyone would be “well yeah, obviously”.
to be a communist he would have to have been a dictator who seized power with force rather than democratically elected.
Communism and dictatorship have nothing to do with each other.
The one thing that communism and dictatorship have in common is that the one pretty much requires a revolution and the other often appears after a revolution.
They have similar origin stories.
The problem with revolutions is that revolutions need a strong man to rally around who can quickly make decisions without compromise and who is in close to complete power. A democratic revolution would not happen, since it’s not fast and decisive enough. But when the revolution is done and that same strongman is still in power, and he gets to decide how the new government is run, only very few of them are capable of handing the power over to a democratic government. And if you run a government like a revolution we tend to call that dictatorship.
Communism is revolutionary, Socialism can be reformative.
In the context of the United States, Democratic Socialism is perfectly compatible with the constitution and the ideals of freedom and democracy; Communism, on the other hand, requires overthrowing the existing institutions which make it incompatible.
Most historical “Communist” movements are vanguardist, and vanguardism doesn’t end well, they end up being authoritarian.
It’s just one of life’s funny little coincidences…
I wouldn’t call it a coincidence that western capitalist states, especially the US, would do some pretty heavy lifting to convince all of their people that any actually existing socialist state is, or would invariably become, a dictatorship and horrible to live under. Socialism and capitalism are fundamentally opposed to one another; pretty much every aspect of US governance and recognized media is fully controlled by, rabidly anti-communist, capitalists. They made absolutely sure of that in the red scare when they literally purged people from any position of influence simply for having any affinity for communism.
Except that every communist country is and was a dictatorship.
If Mamdani is a communist, he’s clearly the least ambitious communist that I’ve ever heard of. What he’s asking for is just basic services of a city to work and be affordable.
He had to refund all eleven tickets Original joke by: @fittedsyllabi@lemmy.world
How is it possible to suck as much as kid rock?
Ask Ted Nugent.
Good point. Dude has had an entire career based on 1 song, and won’t shut up.
Musical equivalent of Rob Schneider.
Man, I am hearing all good things outta NY right now. Mamdani is knocking the shit out! Came in absolutely swinging!
He’s not even in office yet and already knocking it out of the park and halfway across the city.
I just hope that trajectory continues.
Another American who doesn’t understand what communism is.
They don’t have to understand. Others do their thinking for them.
He sings?
I wouldn’t be that generous.
he mostly disappoints his rich, affluent parents by poorly cosplaying as blue collar.
If there’s right wing and/or established American indoctrination to parrot, he sings like a little bird.
Things just get better and better for NY.
Average American can’t tell the difference between Communism and Democratic Socialism, Exhibit A: ⬆️
Not saying you’re wrong, but Kid Rock is far from “average”.
Americans elected a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist that used a bunch of redneck cousin fuckers to violently attempt an insurrection when he lost an election.
Average Americans aren’t known for being intelligent.
An American saying no to money??
What is the world coming to.
As if he knows what a commie is? Spoiled little rich boy who never grew up because he didn’t have to.
