this was in soc v. cap but it belongs here.

i'm so FUCKING sick of these douche bags calling rage hypocrites. I read recently of this guy who went on rage's site for their freedom fighter of the month section and he said something like "i wish i hadn't won that, a lot of my friends gave me grief for that because rage is with sony and are kind of hypocrites, blah blah blah I am a stupid fuck"

What a stupid fucking dipshit. Blah, blah, blah Rage is on a major label. Does this fuckup really think it would be better if they had been on a small indie label. think about that, I know "using the system to take it down" is kind of a cliche, but with music, rage reached millions more people being on a major label. If all movements are kept underground it will be very hard for people to learn about them. Maybe if you were going to fault rage for anything it could be that they didn't move off of sony after building up such a huge audience, i could see that, but criticizing them for becoming famous and making money is fucking stupid (by the way they are moving to a smaller label for the next release). This stupid fucking kid is just practicing what a lot of people do- moral elitism. That type of purity is unnecessary right now and is hurting any movement more that it would help. I would love to find this kid and beat him till he is crouching in the corner untill his ego is shattered, and he can't come into the light anymore. i could spout on about this for a damn long time, but this is already long enough, so let me end with: douche bag, rage kicks ass, critics can suck my balls, rage rocks, great fucking lyrics, great fucking revolutionaries, beat into submission, stupid fucking kid.

ps does anyone really think the world would be better if rage was on a small indie label, and broke up due to lack of audience. I don't know about some of you people, but i know i wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for Rage Against The Machine!

I'm not here because of RATM. But I like them and think they do make a difference for the left. So they're better off on a big label, raising the profile.
I think a lot of people don't learn from the world around them as far as marketing and branding go. There is much to be learnt from this and it should be put into practice on a political level for the left.

I have to admit that if it wasn't for rage, I would probably have come to believe the same things eventually but it would have taken a lot longer.
