I used to like Rage Against the Machine until they got all political.

What qualifications does Tom Morello have to talk about politics?

This prompted me to look at his Wikipedia page a bit. Thought it was interesting that he has a bachelor's degree in political science from Harvard.

ITT, people who can't distinguish between idiocy, trolling, sarcasm, and very dry humor lol

I see you, Norm McDonald

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Norm McDonald is dead and I'm very much alive.

You could have a very advanced predictive comment system.

If you really want to convince us that you're NOT Norm, saying something nice about the Courtney Thorne-Smith (of Melrose Place fame) movie Chairman of the Board should do the trick!

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I can't say anything good about that movie but I have a pretty good joke about a moth of that would help?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

It might hurt your case that you're NOT Norm significantly, but go ahead 😄

Um, it's Chairman of the BORED, thank you very much

Man I really hope this is satire because this is too on the nose

I hope it's a callback to this gem:

I'm rather fond of this reply:

Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta

[–] DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I mean, look at that name. Satire/troll, it's all the same.

[–] chetradley@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I won't sit by and let you besmirch the good name of SatansMaggottyCumFart!

[–] lady_maria@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I can't tell if this is sarcasm

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

It definitely is 😂

Just an obvious troll. Guy should have picked a better name if he wanted anyone to think he was serious.

I think they were referencing Tom Morello calling out a critic about it. -- https://www.instagram.com/p/BcjjnBqAZOV/?utm_source=ig_embed

davez67 -- "Another succesful [sic] musician instantly becomes a political expert."

tommorello -- "@davez67 One does not have to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard University to recognize the unethical and inhumane nature of this administration but well, I happen to be an honors grad in political science from harvard University so I can confirm that for you."

Either that, or they're an idiot.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Besides the fact that he has a degree in Political Science? Or the fact that Rage has always been a political band? Or someone asked a question and he answered? Which one do you prefer?
