Prejudice tends to lack a capacity for self reflection and an understanding of irony.

It's the same with nazi punks and MAGAs who like Rage Against The Machine, they just want something that sounds loud, aggressive, and violent and rarely understand what they're listening to or how it came about until it's shoved right in their face. Then they get all offended about it.

Most of the time, the best they can make themselves is a cheap, talent-less imitation that lacks any sense of authenticity, and to try and overcome that they've resorted to something that can produce a finely polished turd that still lacks any sense of authenticity.

MAGAs who like Rage Against The Machine

Or Creedance Clearwater Revival. Or Guns N' Roses. Those white redcappers hear something "anti-authority" as being exciting and "edgy" and appropriate the songs for their shit movement until they fucking read the lyrics (if they ever bother reading) and realize it's messaged against them. Not to mention most artists are utterly and openly disgusted with MAGAts.

The only has-been celebrity dickheads that actually exist for them are Kid Rock and Steven Seagal.
