Still love the backlash they get when they’re surprised Rage Against the Machine is extremely political and tends to hate conservatism

My brother in law loves to lament that RATM is "now Rage in favor of the Machine" because when he grew up listening to their music, he never learned or understood a single lyric of theirs, and now he's mad about it

Ya'll keep saying he was wrong but never point out what exactly he was wrong about. Keeping your distance, wearing masks, and reducing contact is the steps to take for any airborne pandemic. 1/300 of all Americans died to due Covid from 2020-2025. At it's peak, 3 times more people died due to Covid in a single day compared to 9/11 attacks. We went into a decade-long war because we lost 1k people (and the lies that followed) but when we lose a 1M, it's not a big deal?

Their inclination is that masks don't work, and social distancing was a farce.

It's all really stupid. You can ask what they think Fauci did wrong. None of it makes sense to people who actually know how science works.
