“The lunatic is in the hall.

The lunatics are in my hall.

The paper holds their folded faces to the floor

And every day the paper boy brings more.”

The hypocritical right can shout whatever idiotic mantra they want. My hope is that it draws attention to Pink Floyd, gets Gen latest to listen to their music, and maybe this brings about a resurgence in decent music, with lyrics that mean something, other than “why use a mirror, if you can improve your own reflection with a smartphone”

I want to complain about their moronic oversight, but tbh it's pathetic more than anything. I really wanna know what the fuck some parents are teaching/learning from the western world nowadays.

It's like maybe most ppl were raised by fear and less care previously? And now we're overcaring about ourself by a lack of fear of the real world, oblivious how other people really think/feel that dont say? Not everything is superficial--like me calling them pathetic, so they cope and redirect it anywhere else, when that's the only reason it's pathetic, like being "anti-woke" is the ONLY way they can live and be loved.

Edit: grammar.

Ps "you're making yourselves look stupid [with that rainbow]." My brother in Christ, I've lived more stupid before the 70s than you have your whole life, and that's saying something. (Not me, but there are tons of ppl ik who have)

I don't think Pink Floyd would have direct involvement, but a stakeholder could have paid for marketing / social media exposure and this stirring controversy is one strategy used.

Most of the "woke" things being attacked by conservatives are astroturfed. At least when it comes to the viral propagation and amplification, especially by conservative "news".

Two words: Freedom Fries. When France came out againt the USA invasion of Iraq in the early 2000's, conservatives lost their shit. The Dixie Chick's came out against Bush and were cancelled. These people don't like the truth, they don't like inclusion, and they can't admit they're in the wrong.
