This post was originally a link of my saved video of this TikTok (CW: gross body-shaming, mean, misinformation) diss track that I deleted. I apologize for overlooking the ugliness of this content, and I don't condone most of what was said in the video, only certain elements I agreed with. I appreciate the criticism and feedback.

I'll keep this up in this state because I believe there is some worthwhile discussion here. If the mods want me to delete this or remove the TikTok link for reference, I am willing to do so.

I fully agree on your points and appreciate your support.

I couldn't find the exact citation for CommunistBear's comment but if Welles maligned a brave and noble freedom fighter who died valiantly in battle against genocidal fascists as someone who just "worshipped death"... I find that really inexcusable. That's the problem with his politics, liberalism, in a nutshell. Doesn't mean I think he's evil, but it's an example of this sort of surface-level vibes-based politics being worthless, pointless, liberals preaching to the choir and trying to take more radical ideas and water them down to be palatable and nonthreatening.

And the song being referred to is War is a God, iirc.

Another song I was referring to where he both sides the Israeli genocide is Dead Diplomats.

Wow, I looked up the lyrics to those.

Yeah I didn't like his music anyway but this surface level analysis is terrible. I will admit he has a talent for using words to write evocative words and frame some things in a poignant lift, but that's a problem when paired with such bad analysis.
