By that logic, is Seinfeld also “more metal” than Metallica, because he took a stance as well?
Or does the state of being “metal” only involve the ‘proper’ stance, according to Leftist orthodoxy?

What about Burzum? lol.

Being against genocide is not a leftist orthodoxy.

Really?
Maybe they should re-think their priorities, than. Because I think maybe it should be?

What genocide?

u/MetalEnthusiast83 19h ago

You're right, plenty of leftists regimes have done or attempted genoicdes and leftists don't give a fuck about what is happening in Ukraine or in most of Africa unless they can blame "the west" for it.

Most of these chuds have never even heard of what has happened in Bucha and Kherson. The things that happened there would be too much for horror movies.

So when will they start being against genocide of jews palestinains are commiting. Oh right, that's not the right one.

Burzum doesn't take a side because it's not a political band. All the n*zi stuff is Varg's opinions outside the music itself.

u/PraisingEastward 23h ago

So is Burzum not metal? Is Miss Rachel more metal than Burzum?
I don’t understand what TF these people are trying to say. And I’m not sure they are, either.

burzum is metal, just some whiners want groups to sing something like `br br br, I hate {INSERT_POLITICAL_PARTY}, they eating kids and killing {INSERT_RACE_EITHER_ECONOMY_CLASS} if you support them then don't listen our music, br br br`

we're living in a crazy time, if you say just 1 controversial thing, even if previously people adored you, you will be perished by jobless horde

Fuck yeah Burzum is a stance LOL if these people actually knew what to direct their outrage at THAT would be one of them. Varg is literally part of an Eastern European Nazi org. THAT is a problem, not James Hetfield keeping political grandstanding out of his concerts.

Burzum and majority of Scandinavian Black Metal bands are a bunch of spoiled edge lord pusies who live in one of the safest and easiest to live countries in earth, so they had to find something to be tormented by and delved into cringe ideologies to justify their bitchy attitudes. 

Literally one of the weakest men in metal are into that shit.

It’s not considered “Metal” to join the sheep in the herd bro. And who Seinfeld supports is the wrong side. Nothing to do with right or left. You kill innocent civilians, that is wrong. But hey, you sure got them here with your awesome gif bro daaamn
go back to your trailer and listen to daddy preach white above all else.

Not very metal of you to pretend metal doesn’t exist on both sides of spectrum. Ex: Pantera and System of a Down

Sounds like the Reddit sheep sure do love Ms. Rachel. So you tell us..

It’s not considered “metal” to join the sheep in the herd; gotcha.
But 41% of Americans sympathize with Palestine, as opposed to 36% who sympathize with Israel. (Not to speak of the 23% who are apathetic.)
I can almost guarantee that very, very few of the 41% have a solid grasp of the history, context, or circumstances surrounding the conflict- they only know what little the mainstream media presents to them, and they feel the social pressure to agree. It’s also how the largest percentage of Americans think.
How is that not “sheep” “joining the herd”?

Also- Hamas was democratically elected to lead Gaza. On October 7th, they killed innocent civilians. In your words “that is wrong”.

So what are you getting at?

And to be clear- I will happily condemn the genocide in Gaza. Even though I don’t feel like I actually have enough information to fully comprehend the situation. (I have read up on it extensively, but there is such deep propaganda coming from both sides, it’s not clear to me what’s real and what’s not.)

That being said, I think that you’re not “metal” unless you are sheep going with the herd. At least if we’re using the definition presented above.

Watch the documentary naza if you want some extra information, you seem interested.

u/PraisingEastward 20h ago

The name of the documentary is “Naza”?
I’ll look it up, thanks.

u/SjakosPolakos 20h ago

Cool. It is heavy stuff of course. Curious on your thoughts

We all know the answer. Also Metallica needs exactly zero dollars, they tour for their fans and to keep a hundred people employed. Why would you want a group of guys who don't necessarily hold the same views as each other make a statement about something that would effect so many people.

It's unnecessary and will move the needle exactly zero. Enjoy the music, have fun at the concert and forget politics for an hour and a half.
