And they bow to the electronic god they made
A voice that was theirs, parroted back
Praise that belonged to them, they felt

A very danceable anthem! With frequent use of profanity, just be warned. But what is a naughty word, when compared to the profane cruelty of capitalism and corruption?

In Pocatello, a disabled teen was shot and is in a coma.
As usual, the "thin blue line" protects itself. Cops will defend every single incompetent, bad apple because they all, deep down, want the power to harm another person. Protect and serve? Bullshit.

Is it ok to shop at Costco today because they kept their DEI policies, or are they also boycotted because they're a big bad business?
