A supposed charity festival for PTSD sufferers books him?
For those who don’t remember, Rittenhouse is a divisive figure who is held up as a hero in right-wing circles after a 2020 incident where he drove to Kenosha, WI to protect local businesses
Disgusting article.
was a divise figure mainly remembered for his contributions to the field of mathematics and minor legal issues with the US government
Yeah, the article itself sucks ass, I probably should’ve linked a better one, I just grabbed this quickly.
they ended up on the same bill as alt-right broke-ass poster boy and murderer Kyle Rittenhouse.
I have to admit, it’s a bit odd to hear a hardcore band saying that they simply don’t get involved in politics, especially one that says that they’re dedicated to “the culture of hardcore.” Hardcore comes from punk, punk is far-left, end of discussion. But even putting that aside, at least it’s good to hear that someone acknowledges that being opposed to the right-wing canonization of Kyle Rittenhouse isn’t politics, it’s just morality.
No one get mad at me.
But politics is morality and morality is politics. This is still doing that thing where it treats politics as some team sport lower on a hierarchy of needs below morality.
Edit - also super weird when Metal Injection is way more Rittenhouse/right-leaning than Metalsucks in this instance when I thought they were owned/run by the same company/group/person.
Sore Throat said it and were right, death to capitalist hardcore. Hardcore is pretty far removed from punk at this point and is rige with chuds or just people who would have been nu metal guys if it was late 90s
it’s a bit odd to hear a hardcore band saying that they simply don’t get involved in politics, especially one that says that they’re dedicated to “the culture of hardcore.”
It’s not that odd to me, just looking at that picture you can tell they’re the ”MY CREW 4 LIFE WE KICK UR ASS” type of hardcore who aren’t exactly known for their enlightened political opinions.
Supporters of Rittenhouse like to point to the backgrounds of the men that Rittenhouse killed, particularly the sex crimes that Joseph Rosenbaum was convicted of in 2002, while his detractors argue that Rittenhouse was unlikely to know anything about that when he killed those men.
I’m sure the author would argue unsuccessfully that including this bit was totally necessary to inform the reader, but I would argue that including it totally informed me as to which way the author slants on Rittenhouse.
Knowing his opinions would certainly change my behaviour were I to meet the author and [REDACTED]
many US troops have PTSD from doing murders
Kyle has PTSD from doing murders
We’re doing a festival in support of murderers!
fuck around and find out, fuck around and find out, fuck around and find out, FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT
Why is a music festival bringing him on at all? Does he have a band I’ve never heard of? Guns are not a musical instrument
Florida
Christian band
Pro-Troop
It’s a little puzzling, but it’s clear the people behind this thing have am Agenda™️
