This is blowing up on YouTube right now. Probably because of how true it is.

What’s unfortunate is that he’s a great songwriter and has a fantastic voice. Then he goes and uses those gifts to write a song signaling to the most wretched among us.

Also, this is blowing up because far-right agitators like Matt Walsh and co. timed a coordinated promotion. The only part that’s “true” is that everything sucks. The real reasons aren’t in the song.

Yup, it's so obviously astroturfed it's not even funny

Lmao this guy is such a fucking clown.

Sure buddy, it's definitely fat people on welfare who are holding you back on your 90 acres of property, dipshit picard

And he lives in a camper on that 90 acres, so it's not like he's living some extravagant life on his land.

Meanwhile, there are people who own nothing but the clothes they wear and sleep on the streets.

Fuck this guy.

Here's 54 acres of undeveloped land in the town he lives in for $475K. He could parcel his 90 acres ($792k at this rate, and by far not the most expensive lot per acre I found when browsing), build a 5000 sq. foot home with a 3 car garage with 100% contractor labor, and keep 20 acres to have it on.

It's about $169 sq/ft to build in Richmond. A 5000 sq/ft home would run you $845,000, without the garage. So no, he couldn't do that.

Sorry, you're right, he could only own a 3,000 sq. ft. three car garage home on his 20 acres. Definitely much more working class.

[-] couragethebravedog@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

That is more than your typical working class individual but what was the overall point you were trying to make? He currently lives in a camper, he could sell it all and have a decent home but he hasn't. Are you implying he's only posing as a working class man because of the potential wealth he has in his land? I'm just not understanding the point you are chasing after here.

Also, the song is mediocre at best.

I thought lemmy would be free of scumbags like him. Guess not. These phony working class pricks are the worst

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Just looking at this guy’s shitty beard upsets me.
