but refused will be like &#8220;fuck the rich fuck the rich, rich people deserve to be executed&#8221; almost verbatim , which is refreshing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>aside from that their musical style is just unique.. the opening riff on this song makes me feel like the dude from blade runner its badass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>at time of writing itch.io and steam have just been cornered by mastercard and visa into banning certain adult content, which is like fucked up in a major way and a serious encroachment on our rights, and basically this song (and the whole &#8220;War Music&#8221; album) got me through the night when the news broke<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>sometimes anticapitalism is about building community and showing compassion, and sometimes its about just being really really fuckin angry and USING that anger to drive you forward!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Intro]I&#8217;m a violent reaction (Woo!)I&#8217;m a violent reaction to youI&#8217;m a violent reaction (Woo!)I&#8217;m a\u2005violent\u2005reaction to you [Verse 1]Seduced\u2005by the charm in a charlatan&#8217;s\u2005armsIf you don&#8217;t know the mark, you were it from the startTheir profit, their yield, so repulsive to meI could not ever be just a pawn in the scheme [Pre-Chorus]Serpent saviorDealer of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":249,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[6],"class_list":["post-248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-jamoftheweek"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/snotgrl.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/snotgrl.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/snotgrl.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snotgrl.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snotgrl.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=248"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/snotgrl.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":250,"href":"https:\/\/snotgrl.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248\/revisions\/250"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snotgrl.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/snotgrl.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snotgrl.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snotgrl.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
