country music fans stay losing

First, country music sucks for 20 years. Now this? When will the persecution of rednecks end?

I only like Chris Stapleton and Wheeler Walker Jr because they both produce high quality music

Everyone shits on Walker Hayes but he knows his audience. But no, I’m not a fan.

I think Sturgill Simpson has put out some good stuff. Unironically.

First time I saw Chris Stapleton was on SNL. I’m not really a country music listener. Then I saw Wheeler Walker Jr on a YourMomsHouse podcast and liked him too. Stapleton is for sad drinking and love making and Wheeler Walker Jr is for getting shitfaced and taking home a girl from the bar.

America is authoritarian in government and fascist in Wall Street, who runs the economic model. You'd laugh if I told you that you live under fascism and authoritarianism and you'd probably flee to freer countries.

Corporations collectively decide who to hire, what to pay, what to raise wages by, how to exploit and trample on their employees, what the education, experience, age requirements are, whether are not you deserve benefits, how safe and ergonomic is your working environment, how much of your wages to steal or unpaid work, how long you work, how long is your vacation, how much workload, how much to verbally abuse you and etc.

Modern classical economists have said wall street, corporations and small businesses are like mini governments and anything except physical abuse goes. Wall street is political donor class so government becomes authoritarian (aka taking or reducing your rights) and introducing neo-liberal (pro-wall street) polices. Buddy, nazis may have killed the jews but the 1% will steal your labour, slave you away, and these days lead to an untimely death (slow death by a thousand cuts).

But I need a car, a house, a vacation, home time, enough for healthy food, retirement, medical, student debt, marriage, kids, hobbies, miscellaneous expenses. Wall street will say you poor bastard and import another one or lock you up if you try resisting. Would you flee if you're not the established class already?

In history people have killed the tyrants or left. Those who stay are dumb farm animals for them to thrive on and hopefully they reproduce and stay blinded by debt and servitude with materialism, sense of "american dream 9-5 duty", credit addiction and internet/electronics addiction (aka stockholm syndrome). There is really no precedent to this turbo-techno capitalism system we're facing.

Why did this happen? They went off gold, so that's why it feels money feels like coins in an arcade. It wouldn't be possible otherwise because it would destroy the currency internationally to print so much. America had 80% of the worlds gold after ww2 and had the opportunity say to every country, starting now US dollars replace gold and are not backed by it.
