    Nobody’s mentioned it yet so I have to bring up the music video. It removes all the subtitles of the racism. It flashes back and forth between carefully chosen snipits of BLM protests - sometimes as they desolve into riots, sometimes as the police get violent - and scenes of the band playing in front of a court house where a famous lynching happened.

    I don’t think they thought too much about the lynching, but I find it hard to believe that in a song so intentionally racially charged nobody glanced at the Wikipedia page for their filming location and thought twice about it.

    We can’t do New England much better than we can Eastern Europe. But at least we’re relatively consistent. I wasted so many brain cells on Piedmont Sardinia, French Netherlands, Poland, Poland again, Poland the third, Prussia, and the UK but now none of them are part of Europe.
