Tom Morello Joins Bruce Springsteen and Harvard in Trump Standoff: 'F-ck That Guy'
Tom Morello Joins Bruce Springsteen and Harvard in Trump Standoff: 'F-ck That Guy'
Do you mean political science Harvard grad Tom Morello?
Still one of the greatest burns I have ever seen in my life.
Killed him (in the name of)
That must've felt good when he posted that reply.
It’s got to have been almost worth the masters. Almost.
The entire attack on Harvard by the President is an attempt to "delegitimize" the entire process of going and graduating to his base. So the MAGA crowd can actually pretend it's bad that he went to "that school".
Tom! Save the hammer for The Man.
;)
I mean, this is just about the least surprising thing in the universe.
There's actually a ton of conservatives that like RATM because they like how it sounds but don't understand the lyrics. They are often genuinely shocked when they realize.
This is still one of my favorite social media interactions of all time. And especially given the OP's topic since Morello's alma mater is Harvard.
I'd like to think Paul Ryan still cries himself to sleep at night over this.
It blows my fucking mind that these people exist, agreed.
What the fuck machine do they think he's been raging against? A cappuccino machine?
Education is the solution. It always is. We need to educate the living shit out of all those conservative dipshits so they stop doing so many dumb fucking things.
It's that simple. Now, if only we had a functioning department of education...
Conservatives often have very poor media literacy. They're often not smart or empathetic, because if they were then they wouldn't be conservative.
Same with those who “rock” that Punisher logo. Shit I’ve seen an AR with a forward assist etched with a trump face but in the punisher format.
Fucking batshit.
I can understand conservatives who like the music but disagree with the lyrics, but the amount who don't know RATMs leanings is simply baffling.
The irony burns. Especially when it's some dumb boomer in a maga hat dancing around wrapped in a flag
Is that why they like all that moaning grating death metal?
Next up, Serj Tankian.
I love when people get mad that Tom Morello is suddenly political and say they like rage against the machine better before it was political.
Motherfucker, have you listened to a single lyric?
Same with people complaining that Star Wars or Star Trek is too woke or too liberal. When was it ever not?
People turn fascist only to discover that that's exactly what all their favourite art always opposed.
I liked tom morello more when he wasn’t so political
Based Morello knows a thing or two about fascist evil empires.
Morello's father participated in the Mau Mau Uprising (1952–1960) and was Kenya's first ambassador to the United Nations.[12] Morello's paternal great-uncle, Jomo Kenyatta, was the first elected president of Kenya.[12] His aunt, Jemimah Gecaga, was the first woman to serve in the legislature of Kenya; and his uncle Njoroge Mungai was a Kenyan Cabinet Minister, Member of Parliament, and was considered one of the founding fathers of modern Kenya.
The best Wikipedia I've read, next level respect.
We definitely need a fuck trump music tour.
Bad Religion and Dropkick Murphys are touring this summer. Propagandhi was going to but dropped out for obvious reasons.
I just wish Propagandi would stop being political and go back to songs like "Stick the fucking flag up your goddamned ass you sonofabitch" ya know? Songs for the kids like they used to do.
For someone who knows almost nothing about Propagandhi except for briefly listening to them like 20 years, ago, what are the obvious reasons they dropped off the tour?
Every tour should be. It's just doing your civic duty at this point. If you have a platform, use it
Why stand on a silent platform? Flight the war, fuck the norm.
Fuck you trump! Pussy ass dumb bitch! Get fucked!
I'll say it again. Just look at Mary Morello to see this is not a surprise. His mother raised him right.
Tom is, as far as I can tell, a total fucking badass!
Love Rage, but Tom needs to reform Street Sweeper Social Club with Boots Riley.
Boots knows what we need...
The FUCK. The universe has been letting me down for decades, and you sir just righted that wrong.
I couldn't find a good version of Street Sweepers when Trent Reznor was performing with them, but there's some really shitty decade old cell phone footage out there lol.
Boots is the fucking truth tho, the female vocalist from that video (Pam the funktress) knew Tupac from before he was famous, and Tupac latched onto Boots and cited him as a political influence.
He's been around forever, but most people these days know him from the movies and TV shows he writes/directs/produces:

He's basically a real life Huey Freeman
Hell never have I listened to RATM so much as I have from 2017 onward. Wish they would reform and put out a new album.
KNOW YOUR ENEMY!
Fuck trump and the rest of the republican traitor filth. We must hold the traitors to account.
How long until Republican groups convince you all that Tom and Bruce are fascist or something. No true leftist. I'm giving it 30 days
This seems like an incoherent premise. Neither artist ever supported Trump, and Morello has been outspoken against Trump for like a decade. How do you figure they will whine about them any more effectively now?
Joins Bruce? I would have assumed Tom was always totally opposed to Trump lol?
The Nightwatchman is against anyone that's not A Union Man.
Also, I hope this embarrasses those who have already bent the knee. Fuck them too.
Isn't that what Morello always does?
If you like game of thrones, lookup Tom Morello, fender, GoT on YouTube and blow your mind
