    The point
    You

    It’s not about what’s more “”“productive”“”" you effing shareholder. It’s not about which is more difficult. It’s about the fact this person was not only brave enough to produce music actively critical of the regime, but has done so with enough talent to gain meaningful recognition. It’s the same respect for Rage Against the Machine; the music is great, but the focus is the proliferation of the message. Any jackass can get on the internet and say whatever they want, but being able to convert those sentiments into music, publish that music, and get the level of attention Jesse has for it is the accomplishment.

    So it’s not a concerto in E minor, sure. But it pulls attention to the issues we’re facing. Listen to The Poor and tell me that message isn’t worth making cuz it’s easy. Listen to Join ICE and tell me it doesn’t matter because it’s too streamlined.
