I remember being called racist on Reddit for pointing out that this seemed fake or he was making it up. The idea a bunch of Klan members riding around in trucks on Chicago’s south side at 3am to find Jesse Smollett randomly and put a noose around his neck but leave his subway sandwich in tact seemed like bad writing you would find on the CW
I’ve never heard soft but I’ve heard hypocritical. Tom morello comes from a wealthy background and went to Harvard, the band censored themselves on tv when asked to do so, they live in gated communities and run elbows with the people who run the machine they are raging against, and they came out and supported Hillary Clinton (who is the definition of the machine). Myself and others aren’t saying they should’ve supported trump (who is also apart of the machine), but they should have called for more grassroots political candidates and supported them.
