It is the name of a song written, sung, and played by Oliver Anthony (stage name). The leftoids are in a tizzy.

Oliver Anthony has never had a song of his on the charts. This one went to number one in ? six days.

More likely, it's the nut-oids that are in a tizzy about it, exaggerating how the leftoids are in a tizzy about it.

What's a leftoid? That's a question that's up for grabs. Any "rando" who checks in on social media with remarks that excite the antagonism of certain other rando's on social media? That's about the size of it, judging from one of the other newly updated forum threads that's currently near the top of the forum Topics display page.

It is a clever title and adds to the mounting evidence that America is waking up and has had enough of the crap they have been force fed over the last few years.

No one on the left is any kind of tizzy. Basically the lyrics are gibberish. He complains about people not having food to eat and at the same times bashes "welfare".

Instead of saying "Washington DC" he says "north of Richmond" because Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy. It is just a dog whistle for white supremacists.

Federal safety regulations have saved the lives of thousands of "miners', and the federal government has not done anything for any "minors on an island".

None of it makes any sense unless you live in the right-wing echo chamber.

In today's Marxipad 🤡 🌎, all skin tones are part of the white supremacist club. They all want to live where white people are. Your media sources have taught you well. Next thing you know you'll be using the word 'stormed' anytime a white person runs up and down stadium stairs to built muscle and endurance.

Yeah, they haven't. The elitist heiress mossad daughter convicted of child/sex trafficking has been locked up all cozy, but no clients revealed or arrested. FBI too busy killing and arresting those who post memes and threats against the establishment cabal of Bolsheviks.

Trafficking minors is normal to you.
That's why YOUR 'reliable sources' always buried the news about your beloved trafficker and dirt holder. Can't let that dirt out.

Destroyer of cities, islands, families, established science/biology and dictionary's.

That's your echo chamber.

Have you ever been on Harmony Central? The whole forum is infested. There are maybe three free thinkers, that's it.

I moderated a Harley-Davidson forum for a little while and I was disappointing how whinny a bunch of self described "bikers" could be. I should have known better.

There are still some adults here, but they are slowly walking away.

But this thread started with this:

The leftoids are in a tizzy.

That's a double microaggression. It marginalizes leftists with the obviously dismissive "leftoids" invention. That's a diss. And then it further marginalizes the already once-marginalized leftists by presumptuously asserting that they are in a tizzy. They must be in a tizzy about this song. Because to leave open the possibility that even just one leftist is not in a tizzy about this song would be counter-agenda.

"Leftist" tends to be tossed around in such a broad-brushed way on this forum that there's an ever present and significant epidemiological probability of secondhand marginalization.

A MAGA Republican is one who loves his country, wants to preserve the Republic and wants the best for her citizens. This is in stark contrast to Leftist Democratic Socialists who want to fundamentally transform America into an authoritarian fiefdom.

The “new world order” is neo-feudalism.

How would one do that ? I know, I know, pick me. You trash religion. You trash history. You take over media. You take over education. You take over the nuclear family and claim people's children belong to the "state".

In feudalism, you will own nothing, but there will be divine equity. Everyone will be equal.

Except of course, the overlords/aristocracy/oligarchs/ruling class. But, fear not. They will provide for you what you truly need, from the fruits of you labor, so that you may continue to labor until you are no longer productive, no longer of any use. Then you will be ushered into a room. A small room. You will need no more.

So, you see that they are benevolent overlords. You will want for nothing, from cradle to grave.

You will be happy. That is not a prediction. It is the law. You will be happy.

WTF?

The right-wing contingent whine and moan more than any of the ones from the left. All they do is squeal about how evil the left is. In fact I'll make you a bet based on OBJECTIVE facts if you are man enough to take it.

I can quote more posts from this thread making ad hominin attacks against the left the you can against the right-wing members.

Going to man up and take my bet? Or are you going to just keep spewing childish playground insults with nothing to back them up.

Agreed. The fact that in the United States the wealth of your parents has more effect on your wealth than in any other industrialized country is a problem the left is trying to address. We want to restore the United States to more of a meritocracy instead of a country controlled by generational wealth.

Not sure what this even means. It does not even make any sense. You have a link to the "leftist" calling the BLM movement "white supremacist".

And I have no clue what you mean by "They all want to live where white people live" because white people live EVERYWHERE.

could you please explain what this comment was supposed to mean?

Again I am completely confused. What was arresting an elite couple and putting them in prison for sex trafficking a BAD thing? Does the right really oppose to prosecution of sex traffickers?

And please link all the people the FBI have arrested for posting memes or "threats" against the establishment. I have no idea what you are talking about.

but like most RWNJ claims here they spout BS they claim is true
BUT THE FACTS SAY THEY LIE OVER AND OVER

I don't care if you believe me. You don't really know very much. Again, I could not find the stat saying that the US was the worst (still looking), but I found a study saying they are among the 4 worst in the world.

https://cepr.org/voxeu/colu...atus-parents-matters

"Thus, for a large majority of economies in the world, one’s chances of reaching the top quarter of the ladder depends largely on where one’s parents stand on that ladder. The US ranks as one of the four high-income economies among the 50 economies with the lowest rates of relative upward mobility."

Not sure what you are trying to say with this comment. All I am saying is that the system we have here in the US benfits the wealthy more than most other countries. In other countries your "merit" has a bigger influence on your level of income/wealth than in the US where your parent's wealth/income has a much larger influence.

that means the US is LESS of a meritocracy than most other countries. and much more of a plutocracy.

Warren Buffett, whose annual summer gift of Berkshire Hathaway stock topped $4.1 billion this year. The funds, as usual, went to The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation—where they are being put to work on poverty and healthcare

MacKenzie Scott, whose shoestring operation—she has no foundation and gives her wealth away in stealth—donated $5.8 billion to 500 different groups across the country in 2020. Last year, she continued giving her fortune away faster than any billionaire ever, announcing in June another $2.7 billion in gifts to 286 “high-impact” groups such as the Children’s Defense Fund and the National Council of Nonprofits—pushing her estimated lifetime donations above $8.6 billion.

Seventeen of them have signed The Giving Pledge, promising to donate at least half their fortune to charity over their lifetimes or upon their deaths.

. You are talking political governance, not family ... Thinking about it, you are trying to compare family governance to political governance. Who the ruck are you to decide how others live, . Are you a communist ? A socialist ?

Merit is the reason why people succeed. Was Oliver Anthony's (Rich Men North Of Richmond) parents wealthy ? No.

Are you a Communist ? Socialist ? Are you an "everybody gets a trophy" thinking person. Sad !

Why did the leftoids get in such a tizzy when President Trump wanted to base immigration off of merit ?

No it isn't. I just posted FACTS that prove otherwise. In the United States the wealth level of your family determines a large portion of your "success". More so than in most industrialized countries.

You can't just make stuff up and say "It is true because I say it is true." That is just ridiculous.

Because it abandoned our country's long honored tradition of supporting human rights and granting asylum to victims.

Some people still have hearts.

Not at all. I want the United States to be more of a meritocracy than a plutocracy.

Meritocracy is almost the complete opposite of Communism. Maybe you should learn some more definitions before trying to debate me.

It seems that you consider anything you think is fact.

Was Oliver Anthony's (Rich Men North Of Richmond) parents wealthy ? Did the Manning family (Payton, Eli, or or their Dad Archie) benefit the success of each other ?

Actually, no. It is quite the opposite. That is why I post links to source material to support my claims. It is easy to measure intergenerational wealth elasticity.

Absolutely.

https://broncoswire.usatoda...archie-for-football/

“He never was my coach, by any means, but he’s certainly had the greatest impact on my football life, more than anybody,” Peyton Manning said during a video press conference earlier this week, according to Ben Swanson of DenverBroncos.com.

“I definitely grew up around football. My dad was always making a point to include us, to let us come to practice, took us to Hawaii to the Pro Bowl. That was important for him. I had no idea I was going to end up having the same career, but it definitely had a big impact.”

Federal safety regulations have saved the lives of thousands of "miners', and the federal government has not done anything for any "minors on an island".

None of it makes any sense unless you live in the right-wing echo chamber.

Fred the miner's all lost there jobs. He sings from the heart and this you would not understand.

THOSE would be called "conservatives"....They would give the shirt off their back to help but understand limits.

Liberals-leftoids, OTOH, are perfectly happy to give somebody else's shirt after taking it by force. When those run out just use more force to take more shirts to give.

Everybody has a heart. It's how they use it that matters.

Our long standing tradition of supporting human rights ? Ha ! Who are the Uyghurs and why is China being accused of genocide? What has the USA done about that ?

Asylum ? We have always favored asylum. Our laws allow and dictate it. Victims of domestic violence, crime, poverty, poor job outlook, not eligible.

I bet I can post a link of people who think you are bat zhit crazy. That does not make it true. You calling it truth does not make it so. Dream on.
