That’s not every right wing person though, just like not every left wing person is a communist/socialist…. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right wing in America right now is represented by Donald Trump. So what I'm obviously referring to when I'm saying right wing people is people that are in support of the right wing representatives right now that got butthurt about what Billie said. No need to start a pointless discussion when the point is obvious. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band stands for those things, but they’ve never said that right wing people shouldn’t listen to their music. Billie joe just said that he looks at Maga people with empathy in the altpress interview so he definitely doesn’t share the same sentiment as you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy1986 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I am a right leaning republican overall but I’m not a racist or homophobic being so is stupid…but we can all have different beliefs and not be “evil” half the country hates Biden half hates Trump both sides suck…so again lol you are not defined by your political ideology…the left went crazy with cancel culture…the fact the right is pissed at Green Day I find hilarious as it’s the same thing as the left trying to cancel people …I think It’s fair to say you can be a Green Day fan and not agree with everything they say you can be an individual and still love a band. They saved my life when I battled mental health issues and I have and always will thank and owe them. Either is correct or perfect but we can’t call people out for having different opinions. Peace and Love I respect everyone’s views wether I agree or not. I just hope we can all agree how great this band is, hope dielmma charts great the album does great and we have more awesome Green Day content for years to come we shouldn’t argue with each other about politics we are a better community then that. I appreciate everyone here who posts and shares news, songs, reviews, feelings. This band is unifying 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yosuke Hanamura Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 12 hours ago, DookieLukie said: Subscribing to either side (Republican or Democrat) is pro-establishment. If you identify with either label, you are part of the crony establishment. Just being Democrat is popular now doesn’t mean that group is anti-establishment. Even in recent history, they are part of the problematic system. I dunno, ever since both sides took a Pro-Israeli stance, there's been a relatively huge campaign by Pro-Palestinian voices saying that they're gonna obstain from voting or go Green/Socialist.

Popular Post CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted January 3 Popular Post Share Posted January 3 Obviously, not every conservative is racist or homophobic, but Donald Trump and many other Republicans definitely are. Supporting them means supporting their views and actively endorsing a racist and homophobic agenda. So I can definitely see why Green Day criticizes these people. And by the way, this isn’t even an American problem anymore. There are similar movements/politician all around the world, and their voters definitely know what they stand for. And yes, the alternatives (like Biden) aren’t always great, but that doesn’t make the racists any better. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 What if Billie reversed the lyrics and said "maybe I'm the maga America" and then followed with "I'm not a part of !@#$%>/ Agenda" or maybe a little less awful, "woke agenda". And then never explained if it was a joke or for real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 21 hours ago, CherryBombs&Gasoline said: It’s absolutely beyond me that conservatives and right-wing activists and their supporters all around the world actually believe that they’re somehow part of a revolutionary anti-establishment movement. These people are obsessed with free speech and constantly claim that the mainstream media is taking this right away, yet they can’t deal with even the slightest criticism. So good job, Green Day. I’d actually be disappointed if these people supported the band. I think there’s two groups here. One that is separate from Maga but fear the censorship that we are currently seeing and then theres maga that want to ban the censorship of hate speech pretty much. We live in a modern day cold war and the flow of information is as corrupt as ever. There is an attack on free speech happening right now but it has nothing to do with the way you lean politically. Trudeau tries to diminish certain kinds of speech to gain some false upper hand in his debates. It’s nitpicking at specifics of words and playing word games to get away from talking about results and execution. Now companies are jumping on board and using it as an excuse to fire people without severance pay. But keep in mind, these examples are ones where hate speech is not present. Hate speech is an abuse of the freedom of speech. You have the freedom to speak it but that does not come in conjunction with the freedom to avoid consequences. Hate comes from fear. MAGA supporters are mostly entitled people who believe that they should get the lion’s share without being a lion. The root cause is that we have returned to the extreme principles of politics similar to what was seen in the 30s and 40s. The left are aggressively forming communist backings while the right is forming aggressive fascist support. Ironically, they are one of the same. Lefties tell righties they cant say something and the righties come back telling them actually you cant do or say this other thing. For the working class majority we need to focus on results and execution and hold our politicians to it. To each individual that may be different, it may be withholding your vote, voting lesser of the evils or voting independent etc. Just dont be afraid to confront these fuckers. I confronted a Conservative house of commons rep this summer and many of the things I challenged them on made it to discussions in the house itself. 8 hours ago, CherryBombs&Gasoline said: Obviously, not every conservative is racist or homophobic, but Donald Trump and many other Republicans definitely are.

Many are hard working middle class folks that want the government to use their tax paying dollars effectively. Many are pro immigration for the overall benefits of public services and the economy as a whole. Green Day themselves are more conservative than they brand themselves as. They are an entity themselves that need to pull a profit to provide the service to us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Feel like I am being really dense here but I can’t find video of Green Day’s performances on YouTube, just loads of short videos of people with nothing better to do than rant about them.

CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Do these people realize that they’re doing free promotion for the band? All this does is create attention and push streaming numbers, which is actually great for Green Day. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saviour Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The performances are fun. Definitely using a backing track in at least Dilemma and they've been mixed within an inch of their lives in post production, but it's no bad thing. The actors in the crowd had my toes curling so badly they nearly busted out of my steel-capped boots, though. Pure US TV, that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
