Hi!
Rage Against the Machine is Shit, cause Zach DeLaRocha is fake as fuck.

I do know this for a fact.

I'm pretty sure if you go up to him and tell him that
he'll punch you just like an actual person. Not fake at all.

I doubt he would
But hey, he could try...

Noob. He grew up in Irvine. His parents are both Lawyers. They suck ass. You suck balls :P
(, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 20:05, archived)
and what do you allege that he claims?

(, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 20:19, archived)
I don't allege anything
I have a problem with someone growing up in an extremely affluent area trying to be down with the common man. Talking about being oppressed when you are rich is hypocritical. That's not to say I wouldn't agree that he or they (the band) should try to help the working class.

But don't try to identify with me. Don't be down with the common man when you have never known what the fuck it's like. Don't tell me that you feel like I fucking feel, and that you "know my struggle". Help me, don't parade it to make money. Which is ultimately what they did.

SO yeah, I have a problem with them.

You are completely missing my point
and therefore are just being an argumentative cunt.

I am not saying that they shouldn't help. I am saying it's hypocritical to say "We're poor"

They're not poor. Never have been.

Why does Wikipedia disagree with you?
Apparently his father was an artist and his mother an anthropologist and they were separated from each other. Not lawyers. Not super-affluent.

He also apparently suffered racism due to his Mexican heritage.

Sounds really privileged.

You could have said
"I don't like RATM. I don't enjoy that sort of music and I met Zack de la Rocha and thought he was a twat" and everything would have been fine.

But you started making baseless accusations and prejudiced statements based on inverted snobbery about his perceived wealth and privilege. Then you got snotty when people challenged your prejudices.

No...
It impairs you from talking about what it's like. He would never have known what being poor or oppressed means. Not in Irvine.
(, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 20:37, archived)
Why do affluent people have less empathy than poor people?
No one can know exactly what it's like for anyone else. Being affluent doesn't stop you being human or having difficulties that can help you relate to someone else.

Are you asking me personally
or asking RATM as some sort of open question? Because my tale of poverty is so fucking harrowing it would make you weep, you petty little child.
(, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 20:53, archived)
So tell me then
I was asking you, you insulent prick. It's not a rude question. It's a question. Have you ever been poor? I don't fucking know you, so I don't know.
(, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 20:57, archived)
So Im telling you I have
and yet it's neither relative nor crucial to this debate. That's like arguing white people can't support black rights movements, or the Western sympathy for Tibet is a joke because we've never been oppressed. Musicians making apt art that is able to speak directly to someone's emotions and justly represent the plight or pain of an individual or group is no less diminished if the artist hasn't personally experienced it. You're just being a sanctimonious prick who likes diminishing other people's achievements.

Let me ask YOU a question. Have you ever produced a music album? Have you ever slaved your guts out with a team of like-minded musicians day and night, going without sleep, trying to nail the perfect mix that encapsulates perfectly the raw emotion you feel? No, you haven't, because you're a lazy cretin who'd rather point the finger at the easy target than actually do something worthwhile. Now go and play, you ridiculous little maggot.

(, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 21:05, archived)
ooooooooooo
I am so scared... really, what are you going to do?

No, I have not stayed up for days making an album. I do not want to diminish other peoples' achievements.

I have absolutely no problem with them as musicians. TO be in fact, I own some of their albums and find the music quite good. But how can you rightly, as a person, say that you understand me, when you don't? WHen you couldn't because you have never REALLY lived it.

Here's an example. I have a friend that considers himself worldly because he traveled to Asia. He grew up very affluent and wants to talk about nothing but how he's so fucking awesome and in touch with the indigent peoples of wherever the fuck. He's a genuine traveler, right?

So I asked him, did he once eat with them, or spend weeks living as they did? No. He was a tourist, passing through. That's their lives. I submit that Mister Zach is a fucking tourist. ANd I happen to know I'm right.

So lick it up, faggot. I can bitch slap on the internet as well.

Ooooooooo..... scary you....

So what you've done is transposed an entirely different story in place of an argument
that's not a bitchslap. That's you failing Rhetoric 101. That's you showing you're not mature enough to follow a coherent train of thought or intelligent enough to reply with a relevant answer.

But character assassinations aside, your argument suggests that Shakespeare is worthless because he was never a Danish Prince who had his father killed by his uncle. It's a music album. It's the voice of an artist. If he feels a link with a group, and is able to express the voice of that group in such a way that that group appreciates it, then surely he's even greater than the average poor person for being able to attune himself to their feelings.

So fuck off for six years, grow up, then come back when you've either got a decent argument or some decent insults, you teenager.
