Neil Young makes a stand against misinformation

I'll try this one on our pet Trumper to see if it gets a reaction.

@farmerjoe420 is scum sucking shit eating swamp penis who lives and fucks in a pond filled with his own scum sucking relatives.

I'm probably bordering on unfairly using adjectives that border on poking fun at the unfortunate children of hillbillies born with genetic defects due to inbreeding. Maybe "farmer" joe would be insulted by that. If so, he has my apologies in advance.

we didn't get here through peace and prosperity, we got here over thousands of years of war, conquer and slavery.

people will always be spiteful. life isn't easy for most of us and there's always reasons to be angry. if we eradicate racism through literally changing how the brain works there will always be problems. Imagine.. a perfect society... ruled by the best looking. I think we're already moving in that direction and that alone is the fascist trope at work in their secret eugenics experiment forming beautiful smiling faces to hide the ugly of the world with another lollipop. actually, I think that's just how humans work. Shallow, lazy opportunists.

again, I firmly believe disagreement is a natural, healthy part of human behavior and some of these biggoted notions are biological and have taken generations to form (I'm not saying I think this way, but I recognize the human race is very lowly) and I would be most afraid to live in a world where everyone agrees.

on the flip side - did you know at the 69 Woodstock concert, there were tens of thousands of people and not one fight? that's pretty remarkable.. i wonder what went so wrong...

They were all at the tractor pull. With real tractors!


Yelling fire in a crowded theatre, not something that is acceptable as people can get hurt. Telling people that the vaccine has microchips in it so you can be tracked. The person ends up in the hospital, taking up valuable space could be used to save another life. Why is one bad but the other not?

Weird song though. Very strange impression of the Aztecs. "Hate was just a legend and war was never known."

Completely untrue. The Aztecs were fucking brutal. Cortez and a few hundred Spaniards never could have prevailed over them if it weren't for the help of damn near every neighboring people who the Aztecs had enslaved and murdered for generations.

You are correct. From wiki wiki:

It was not solely a contest between a small contingent of Spaniards defeating the Aztec Empire but rather the creation of a coalition of Spanish invaders with tributaries to the Aztecs, and most especially the Aztecs' indigenous enemies and rivals.

It's a fascinating story. I highly recommend Prescott's 'Conquest of Mexico'. It's over 100 years old and quite good if you can get past the prejudices of the time it was written. Dirt cheap in digital because copyrights used to actually run out.

Neil was riffing on some really bad revisionism but it's still a great song.

there's a story he wrote it in 10th or 11th grade study hall...it would make a lot of sense if he did, the world is a lot more romantic place when you're 16
