My favorite thing about SOAD is they opposed police brutality AND Tankies.
Ummmmm about that

How the fuck are you in SOAD and playing songs AGAINST the Bush Administration directly and playing a whole tour of protest shows, and all in supporting Occupy Wall Street and then you are like "well the Fascist has some excellent points and the trains run on time" (just for clarification, "the trains ran on time" was a Italian fascist propaganda talking point after the end of WWII, and it was never true, not literally and not figurative, the Italian fascists let trains run quite late compared to other governments, and them failing at getting even the military in order was a thing they were famous for. Fascist governments are often total cluster fucks of infighting and failure that can only be relied upon to start wars, kill people, and make the rich MUCH richer while everyone else is just trying to survive, and the absolute lie that the boarder was somehow in crisis under Biden is absurd, and is sold without any counter argument all over major news of any level, no Biden wasn't letting rapists target white women on the boarder, he kept all of Trumps Immigration system in place, abuse and all.)
anyway. I can hate the drummer. I can like Motley Crue and hate the lead singer AND drummer! this isn't a problem. the creative forces in the band would never fall for this bullshit.
The band still stands for those things. The drummer is just an asshole. The lyrical meaning of their songs hasn't changed.
