I've never seen this song on here so I uploaded it. You Can find it on the 1966, "Phil Ochs In Concert" record.

Is there nowhere you people aren’t spreading your propaganda? Does it have to be here?

[–] Tempo@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lemmy belongs to the left

[–] Mastengwe@lemm.ee -2 points 5 months ago

Yeah. I disagree.

You're welcome to post music about right-wing bullshit, or in favour of milquetoast fencesitting if you want.

Edit: words, show->should incouraged->encouraged

Not too sure how to respond...

I share songs that I like, regardless of political leaning, at least I try to.

Thanks for expressing your opinion on the matter, feel free to share your own songs!

A diversity of ideas, and songs, [should] be [encouraged]; so as to not create a bubble!

And yet, your comment history clearly shows you have a strong bias. This isn’t the place to present it. Music or not.

Everywhere is a place to share what we want, unless it goes against rules or group think, in some communities....

You are free to share 'bias' songs as well, no need to censor ourselves just to appease people that do not like to see political songs...

Again, feel free to share your own songs (with bias or no bias, regardless of political leanings), no one is stopping you or trying to, at least I am not.

I hope this helps explain my thinking on the matter!

It would be nice for a place like a music community to be free of bullshit political biases. I have my own, but I respect others enough to keep it only to places where it’s expected.

Maybe you don’t.

Oh, yes, I do not see the world as you do...

I see it as, everything of importance has politics engraved in them, even music.

Random: it reminded me of a band that some may have grown up with, one of them being Rage Against the Machine, it went viral when some people found out it was a political band.

Thanks for sharing your views, even if I do not agree, always great to talk with people that do not think or agree with my way of the world!

Dude… your entire comment history is nothing but an anti-democrat smear campaign. And the false kindness schtick isn’t going to land the way you’d like it to when it’s coming from someone that calls people “genocide supporters” for merely disagreeing with your agenda.

Yes, and some of my posts in music will reflect those views.

Music we like, we share, I do not tailor my views for others and you will continue to see that in the interwebs.

People that do not share our views or enjoy the same stuff as we do will get shared.

Feel free to continue to share your views in my communities as well, it helps us question our own bias and way of set ways of thinking!
