Why are all of their songs still relevant 30 years later?
Because the problems they raged about are systemic, and the system didn't change.
Because those that work forces are still the ones that burn crosses
Because nobody actually listened to and took seriously what they were saying 30 years ago.
Fun fact: After 9/11, various songs evoking 9/11, such as 'Learning to Fly' by Tom Petty, 'Stairway to Heaven' by Led Zeppelin, 'It's the End of the World as we Know it' by REM ... all banned from airing for about 120 days.
Oh.
And literally everything from Rage Against the Machine.
Other fun fact about this?
This censorship wasn't done by the FCC.
It was done by ClearChannel, aka iHeartRadio, aka, the corporation that now owns or controls basically all terrestrial radio stations.

RATM supported Sendero Luminoso.
Fuck RATM.
The Shining Path has been widely condemned for its excessive brutality, including violence deployed against peasants, trade union organizers, competing Marxist groups, elected officials and the general public.[2]
...
The Shining Path's retaliation to this was one of the worst attacks in the entire conflict, with a group of guerrilla members entering the town and going house by house, killing dozens of villagers, including babies, with guns, hatchets, and axes. This action has come to be known as the Lucanamarca massacre.[39] Additional massacres of civilians by the Shining Path would occur throughout the conflict.[26][40][41]
...
American rock band Rage Against the Machine released a music video for their 1993 song "Bombtrack" as a response to the arrest of Abimael Guzman the previous year. The video expresses support for Guzman and the Shining Path, featuring various clips of the organization's activities, as well as showing the band in a cage to mimic Guzman's imprisonment.[145]
I'm going to my states senate office on Monday with a megaphone and will not leave until the police are called. I'm going to write out what I want to say because I'm too heated to speak freely. Naysayers need not reply.
I’m going to my states senate office on Monday
Monday is Presidents day, are you sure they'll be open? I know a couple state employees and they have the day off. This could vary by state and office I guess. I'm just saying maybe check the website or something.
They were open! It wasn't just me there either. 🤘
I preferred them when they weren't so political.
/S obviously haha. I'm currently cutting a stencil that says "Nazi lives don't matter" to make some shirts.
lol
Drove all the way to NYC to see them with Run the Jewels after the pandemic. 100% worth it, one of the best shows I've ever been to.
Tim Commorford is weird to watch though. He kinda hops awkwardly from foot to foot.
It's so disappointing to hear Killer Mike spit revolutionary lyrics like in 'close your eyes' only to find out IRL he's into lame shit like black capitalism.

Save a life, punch a nazi
30 years later and more relevant than ever... That's not a good thing. Continue to rage.
Here's the introduction (aka "Pillar I") to the plan currently being implemented: https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf
Some highlights:
From page 20 of the project: "Vought (officially in charge of OMB after being confirmed recently) writes that the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) should establish a “reputation as the keeper of ‘commander’s intent,’”"
From page 21: " In Chapter 1, former deputy chief of staff to the President Rick Dearborn writes that the White House Counsel “must take seriously the duty to protect the powers and privileges of the President from encroachments by Congress, the judiciary, and the administrative components of departments and agencies.”
Page 28: "When a new President takes office, he will need to decide expeditiously how to handle any major ongoing litigation or other pending legal matters that might present a challenge to his agenda"...", the President should hire a counsel with extensive experience with a wide range of complex legal subjects. Moreover, while a candidate with elite credentials might seem ideal, the best one will be above all loyal to the President"
Page 32, regarding the office of presidential personnel (DOGE): "Playing “bad cop” in a way that other White House offices cannot (including serving as the office that takes direct responsibility for firings and hirings)."
Fuck Nazis
