Don't look
Don't look onto your lawn
There's a billboard built for God
You won't be saved if what you crave
Are God-fearing minds
So you'll be a slave until the grave
To terms the church defines
If all you want is just your own set of fucking rules
Never nurse a guilty conscience for a bunch of fools
02 In The Red
We've been good
But I know we can do better
It's exactly what's expected
Right down to the fucking letter
If nothing's changed, then where's my brain?
If there's no reaction, we're bored again
Time to turn the volume up
More than before for those corrupt
In the red
Just look at your alternatives
We're not some fucking group for hire
And we wouldn't sing flat if we were really a choir
What's to gain by what we're playing?
Unless it's watered down
It's not accepted by the mainstream
Loud and fast
In the red
Just look at your alternatives
Got no money
Couldn't care less
Play it louder
I don't like that fuckin' scene
You say it's part machine
He thinks it's too nice or too clean
They just want to be the stars
Who makes money with guitars
Why would they accept anything less?
We don't try to relate with the consumer's taste
I couldn't think straight if we were Green Day
So we'll play loud instead
Till the meter's in the red
We'll lose our fuckin' heads
'Cause this is not dead
03 My Neighbors
I really don't care if you call me a fag
I've known fags who are better men than you
And I know you're not measured by what you're called
You're measured by what you do
So, what's the difference to you?
It's not your life
You're mild-mannered by day
A STUPID FUCK BY NIGHT!
You're clever and in control
Of situations you provoke
I can hear you laughing at punchlines
But I didn't hear a joke
So, what's the difference to you?
It's not your life
You're mild-mannered by day
A STUPID FUCK BY NIGHT!
Please please please remember that no matter how fucking terrible Biden is, you must vote for him in order to stop Trump and the fascist Republican "Project 2025" from being implemented.
Yes, this proves the country is not a democracy, but in order for you to ever have a chance of seeing a free america, you have to stop Trump.
The fact is that Trump and the republican party are now an authoritarian fascist party. This is not fear mongering. Even if the alternative is terrible, he is not as bad. You have to vote against this new Hitler for your sake and for the world's.
In the country where your cousins live, the head of state of an ethnic minority has been assassinated and his people’s greatest assets stolen or destroyed. They are forced to beg your cousins for help, who refuse, and they fall to fighting and a pyrrhic victory.
They are exiled and seek asylum, coming through political turmoil in two separate and suffering hosts to your country. Do you a) offer them aid and unite against a common threat, or b) bar many entrance to your realm (the only politically stable area), restrict the places they’re allowed to go, and ban their native language?
white supremacy and misogyny work hand-in-hand to keep patriarchal power systems in place, if you fail to acknowledge this you’re not a radical feminist
help people are mistaking the opening chapter of my psych horror story about a man getting trapped in a demented game of house with a personification of the US Military's rot for a cute gay romcom about veterans relaxing after achieving glory
Bomb threats prompted the evacuation of schools and government buildings for a second day on Friday in an Ohio community that has been the focus of unwanted attention after former President Donald Trump amplified false rumours that Haitian immigrants are abducting and eating pets.
An emailed threat said bombs had been planted in the homes of Springfield's mayor and other city officials, said Karen Graves, a city spokesperson. A second email said that bombs would be detonated at locations including Springfield City Hall, a high school, a middle school, two elementary schools, a local office of the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and a licensing bureau.
Israel ignoring Egypt's warnings, Israel's chaotic "recovery" (a.k.a. their explicit non-recovery and bombing of hostages), and the IOF's chaotic engagement with Hamas fighters on Oct. 7th and 8th that caught hostages and civilians in crossfire should be proof enough that Israel cannot and will consistently fail to provide for the security and welfare of Jewish people. It should also be proof enough that Netanyahu's government doesn't give a shit about Israeli lives unless they can be weaponized to serve his political and regional goals.
The argument that the only way for Jewish people to have safety and comfort is through a Jewish ethnostate ignores how the violence necessary to establish an ethnostate breeds extremism and a cycle of violence. It ignores how Israel consistently fails to protect and provide for its citizens, how vulnerable the Israeli state would be without US support, and how politically and numerically insecure settler-colonial populations are without ethnic and genocidal violence to reproduce their position in the social hierarchy. This argument also allows countries in the Global North to wipe their hands of their own country's antisemitism. For them, Israel is the solution to their country's "Jewish Question."
Some of Zionism's basic assumptions about Jewish people and the need for a Jewish state come from antisemitic assumptions. Advocates for a Jewish state frequently invoke antisemitic stereotypes to make their case. Like... literal fucking fascists in the US support Zionism because they want to empty their country of Jewish people and then watch them die in Israel.
The largest group of Zionists in the US are Evangelical Christians. Not just in sheer numbers, but as a percentage of their population. And you know what they believe? They believe that all Jews need to return to the Holy Land to be massacred and raptured so Jesus can return. The majority of Zionists in the US are Zonists because they're antisemitic. Their antisemitism informs their support for Zionism, and their belief in Zionism informs their antisemitism.
It boggles me how the US government, literal fascists, and Evangelicals have so many of you legitimately believing that critiquing a man and a government that throws their lot in with Holocaust deniers is antisemitic.
There are experts out there who attest that Zionism encourages and spreads antisemitism around the globe and that it is a contributing factor to increases in antisemitism in the Global North. Some have gone so far as to say it is a literal threat to the well-being of Jews worldwide and a roadblock in the fight against antisemitism.
