She's a right-wing anti-vaxxer Musk fan who is also against Israel's genocide? What the fuck?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Alright, I know nothing about this person or the song, but I went to read the article to see where it says she is an "anti-vaxxer" and a "musk fan", as well as "against Israel's genocide":

In the song, May rails against "big pharma," a "man-made virus," "cancel culture," and a war that she brands "genocide."

This is the only passage I could find that remotely hints about her stance about those things and I see the controversial "man-made virus" line, but that just means she believes the virus was man-made, e.g. it came from Wuhan's lab, which is a hypothesis that was seriously considered, though still found less likely than the zoonotic one.

Nothing there says she's against vaccines. It does say she's against Israel's genocide though, assuming that's the war being referred here (lyrics seem to confirm that).

Searching for "vax" or "vaccine" in the entire article yields nothing.

Searching for "musk" yields this verse in the lyrics:

Mr. Musk, he said some s***, the lefts are angry

Which... doesn't seem to imply she's a fan either (she might be, mind you, but one can't conclude that from this article).

So, when reading an article, let's not extrapolate beyond what's reasonable.

Well, she was a nurse during covid. Did you even read the article before commenting?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

An anti-vax nurse? UNPOSSIBLE!

I know what she believes because I read the article.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's strange, as I made mistake - in the article is written that she was "medical doctor" not a nurse.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I was responding to your nurse claim, not what the article said. You said she was a doctor in your summary. And again, I know what she believes because I read the article. She's an anti-vaxxer. That's what the Big Pharma stuff is about. I'm not sure why you're trying to argue that she isn't anti-vax when she really obviously is.

But fine, if you want to make this a big gotcha, you got me. I didn't point out that you were wrong and she wasn't a nurse.

She's still anti-vax. Hence the Big Pharma stuff that isn't both the article and the lyrics you're convinced I didn't read. I'm not sure why you think I even suggested she was anti-vax if you think I didn't read it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's true, but still the song is pretty catchy and very popular 😏

Sorry... you don't just want me to open some right-wing fucknut's shitty rap track, but you want me to do it through the company giving millions to Joe Rogan?

I don't think so.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, you can also read the comprehensive analysis of the text here: "Australian Medical Doctor Bombshell".

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Google tells me that "comprehensive analysis" is by a man with a chemistry degree who fearmongers about fluoride. So first you want me to go to Joe Rogan's company and now you want me to go to some nutbag who thinks he understands human health?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can do, whatever you want. It's your choice. I am just sharing news 😅

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This stretches the definition of news to an extreme degree.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

We have to be flexible and expand horizons, that's our duty to the world!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"We" do not need to expand the "horizons" of news when it's already full of celebrity pablum and internet drama bullshit by adding more of that to the pile.

I don't think you need to intentionally make things worse when they're already going downhill on their own, but you do you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think they are improving, give it some time, and you will see the positive changes by your self

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

They who? Improving how? What positive changes in specific?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Gotta love the irony of a song that condemns having to "pick a tribe and hate the other side" that still can't manage to refrain from doing exactly that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

She might have picked a side, but I can't be 100% sure of which one just from the lyrics. In fact, if anything, it seems she hasn't picked a side: she sides with one on some issues (e.g. Israel) and with the other on other issues (e.g. cancel culture).

As a result, she's probably angering both sides, which maybe was the whole point, who knows.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Is this news or pop culture bullshit?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The latter, but OP appears to be a fan.

There's apparently no accounting for taste.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's news - as she was kicked from work and also the manager abandoned her as she refused to change the lyrics of the song

"Man made virus watch the millions die

Biggest profit of their lives

Here's inflation that's your prize

This is Karmageddon

Turn on the news and eat their lies

Kim or Kanye pick a side

Cancel culture what a vibe

This is Karmageddon

Corporations swear they never lie

Politicians bribed for life

More than war it's genocide

This is Karmageddon"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Oh ok, so she wanted to make a shitty pop song that contained scientific misinformation...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

That is a far preferable thing.

Also:

In 2018, THQ Nordic bought the rights to the Carmageddon intellectual property.

So never expect to see a decent Carmageddon reboot if there ever is one again.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

This isn't news. There's wars going on, corruption in the U.S. government, LA's in a literal firestorm, and... this? By the way, it happened last week, no one cared then, certainly don't give a fuck now.

This doesn't belong in News, so I'm downvoting this post, but if you repost it somewhere more appropriate, I would upvote it.
