To tie this all back to nu-metal: Everyone needs to listen to One Minute Silence, the one band of the agenda who seemed to recognize this bullshit long before doomscrolling was even a concept.

There's a reason the Wild West is so mythologized, especially by the right - it's a free-for-all where might makes right, the man with the gun is the man whose law it is, and traveling snake oil salesmen roam freely, grifting entire towns and then fleeing into the sunset before anyone catches on.

You could also easily tie these themes into Aaron Lewis' conservative nothingness or Slipknot's runaway greed too.

And there's not much to say about it, but the fact that once potent left-wing powerhouse System of a Down has gone oddly quiet about contemporary events (besides Armenian ones) because of an ideological schism between them and their drummer - that's something that looms conspicuously on the horizon. Wonder if he still feels the same way about man-da-tor-y min-i-mum sen-ten-ces now.
