WestCanMan Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Leftists say that his song is a call to violence against minorities because it basically condemns rioting, looting, violent crime, etc., and idolizes smaller towns where those types of violent activities aren't praised. As a conservative I don't believe that crime is specific to certain races, it's specific to a political party. Theoretically the song is universally reviled but the likes and dislikes on YouTube tell a different story: I'm not a fan of country music, but I love anything that leftists hate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impartialobserver Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 My belief is that crime is tied to poverty or the prospect of becoming poor. About this song... yawn. However, the artist is laughing so hard he may have wet himself a few times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYLefty Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Well apparently CMT pulled the racist, chest beating, divisive song/video, so I suppose they're snowflakes too ?.

That would mean a kind of lasting social stigma attached to behaviour that is outside what the community finds acceptable ? Can you only get good behaviour from people by paying them ? Doesn't that mean everything is up for sale at a price ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple assault does NOT have the repercussions of democracy being DESTROYED. Though FASCISTS often employ the latter to achieve the former, but ONLY in the Capitol where the votes are COUNTED. Duh.

There's definitely a strong correlation, should have said that "celebrating/advocating for violent crime is specific to one political party". Quote About this song... yawn. However, the artist is laughing so hard he may have wet himself a few times. What country song isn't "yawn"? TBH this song is probably a day late and a dollar short, but maybe he was being overly cautious with the timing of the release. He's an artist, they don't have clocks.

He is making some serious income because of this controversy. Had no one objected.. it is just another song and probably in a few years gets put in the dustbin.

TBH, when he says "try that in a small town" it's assumed that he means "...and you'll get your ass kicked". That being said: 1) It's not even a crime in Canada for a citizen to use reasonable force to prevent a crime. In the US you can probably use a bazooka on someone who litters. 2) I think Jason Aldean is ok with people getting punched in the face for burning a flag, and if you wanna burn a flag and someone says "I'll punch you in the face if you do", it's basically consensual violence. The courts don't try to sort out who's guilty of what in that instance. Ya pays yer money, ya takes yer chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The record companies have no control AT ALL over what is released. They had control in the past because recording cost so much money. It cost the Beatles 30,000 pounds to record Sgt. Pepper on four tracks and that took a year. Today, you can download an UNLIMITED track recording studio for your computer FOR FREE. So the music market is flooded. Aldean wrote from the heart, but releasing that song in today's political shitstorm climate was a work of marketing GENIUS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
