[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A “hero of the far right” blames his problems on  heavyset women (because of course no men are 5’ 3” in the heroic sub-Richmond) on welfare and anyone is supposed to take this seriously? Really OP?

Angry white dude is misogynist, news at 11[/quote]

Wait.  Are you talking about this songwriter?  Oliver Anthony?

Where in his song did he say anything about heavyset women?  [/quote]

Apparently women on welfare are the real villains to him, because again, most men are not 5’3”

If he wasn’t just another blathering misogynist I’d say maybe he’s onto something but he’s seriously complaining about the food insecure in 2023 and that’s about as “punching down” as I can imagine. The people who are getting food stamps aren’t rich. They also use the drugs he’s worried about at lower rates than the rest of the American public. Hating the poor to feel better about yourself isn’t interesting to me.[/quote]

He said nothing about women.  That is YOUR stereotyping.  
And, he is not complaining about the poor.  He is complaining about the ridiculous government programs that perpetuate obesity and poor health by providing funding that allows these people to purchase junk - yes JUNK food with taxpayer funding.

I am getting the distinct feeling that you are more upset about the people who can relate to this song than the songwriter himself.  [/quote]

I don’t actually care about the guy or the lyrics, I’m just amazed people are pretending he’s not targeting the absolute usual suspects— women and the poor.

[b]He doesn’t say “we should change our food stamps policy to encourage healthier food the way we do with WIC”[/b]
He says if you’re obese and a size that mostly refers to women— taxpayers shouldn’t pay. If you’re skinny and male fudge rounds for everyone right? [/quote]

Those would make great lyrics to a country song.  You ought to write one..... /s[/quote]

Heehee PP doesn’t realize that people are too dumb to appreciate a song with policy nuance. They would much rather listen to a crybaby singing about fat lazy chicks on the government dole and how the government wrongs hard working white guys. Next time he should wear a “no fat chicks” tshirt to be fully transparent.[/quote]
