With all due respect MrLboyd, as much as I love your music reactions, I cannot stand the ones where you get political. I know, then don't watch, well you're the one that said people need to have conversations, and MOST people don't do their research, or know what's going on. So without an ounce of hate in this statement, it is painfully obvious by a couple comments in this video, that you also have not researched certain issues, not even a little. You know your shit like nobody's business when it comes to world history, firearms, general knowledge and music, ESPECIALLY Hip-Hop, just don't think socioeconomic politics is your lane. Speaking of you immense knowledge and appreciation for Hip-Hop and Rap, NO WAY, in a MILLION years you'll ever play a garbage track like this in your whip or put it on your play list. It's all about the clicks and traffic, I know.
@@KimmyGibson ... Well I would argue that there are far more people currently that favor themselves a textualist when it comes to the constitution, who have never sat down and read the entire thing, Those that beat their chest and carry on about small snippets of the constitution no bigger than that which would fit on a bumper sticker next to their truck nuts. And authoritarian right wing politicians that wipe their ass with it every day, than there are those that actually want to "destroy it". Don't get me wrong there are people who want to destroy it, just last month, that former president guy, that started his own social media, put out a thing on that site literally stating that we need to tear up the constitution and start from scratch, so it's not like your comment is out of left field or anything.
"Truckers in the convoy as terrorists" is referring to the way that Canada and the current administration portrayed the Canadian trucker protests by labeling them as domestic terrorists when they stood up against vaccine mandates
@@korybeavers6528 Anything the Truckers did the dovernment did 100X more with their lockdowns. The Police said at the Emergencies Act Inquiry that despite the Convoys size being so big, amd lasting so long it was as peaceful as any other event like Canada Day.
NO! They weren't labeled terrorist (which I don't agree with that label for them even though I disagree with their actions) because they "stood up against vaccine mandates '. When you're given a choice between proof of vax or weekly/daily negative test results, not doing that job until health emergency over, or not participating in social activities, that's a REQUIREMENT. Technically a mandate is enforced with risk of government punishment, fines, jail, etc.... NO CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY in either country. Lets say the truckers represented a legit beef with the government, it wasn't the beef it was the way they acted out their civil disobedience, which any civil disobedience being ok, or morally sound is an entire discussion in itself (although the crowd that supported the truckers sure scream the loudest about any other protest with civil disobedience). Here's the deal with shutting all the routes into the city are. I know they were trying to one up BLM who shut down on road or hwy, and at least it's not burning down a building or vandalizing right? Wrong, One road or a building, while I disagree with the latter, does not shut down the entire city. I know they wanted to affect big commerce and hit the govt where it hurts. Well those vital entries into and out of the city carry more than commerce, they carry people on the way to hospital for dialysis, firefighters trying to get to apt fire with kids trapped, etc etc etc.. Blocking off single highway or vandalizing a business does not paralyze an city and surrounding area. Acts of terrorism do that, hence the label they were given.
Truck convoy in Canada where they raised money when they were protesting. Then the money they raised to keep their families fed. Was taken by the Canadian government and it just disappeared
Great reaction as always The convoy comment is on the Canadian Teucker convoy protests, where they mandated vaccines on drivers and they protested, they froze drivers banks so a Gofundme was raised, whuch got (I think $8m) before they froze that and for ages no one knew where those donations went Regardless of what you think about the disruptions that the convoy caused, the way they were treated and the lies spread about them by the MSM was disgraceful :(
i mean.... wasn't a mandate. their company gave them a choice, get tested regularly or get the jab. that's just private businesses deciding to follow non enforceable guidelines. government gave a suggestion, their bosses made the decision.
It hurts, but MrLboyd speaking truth on the grifters on the Right side of the aisle. Left is no different, which is why it's best not to choose sides and go against all of them.
Lots of conversations are happening bc of Tom...he and I disagree on some things, some of his songs make fun of my beliefs directly...but I still respect him and consider myself a fan and have interesting conversations with other fans all the time....makes more sense to me to discuss those issues and views with people from the other side of the fence than to be butthurt and try to "cancel" anyone who disagrees with me
All beliefs are false. Truth destroys belief, and people always take that personally. If you weigh 350lbs and someone says you're fat. You don't take that personally because it's not personal, it's just stating truth. Ego doesn't like being challenged, what people need to do is challenge their own beliefs and realize they played themselves buy playing make believe and not living in reality.
I totally am on board with conversation and talking things out, but here's my deal, what "sides" of the fence are you referring to?? Because Tom carries water for one of them, despite being Mr. oh I stay out of politics, I just sit back and call out the absurdity. And if you're thinking the liberals and conservatives, Dems and Republicans, I got a secret for ya...........they're already on the same side of the fence. This narrative being gobbled up by so many youth, that the left and right are both just as bad, has got to stop. Yeah, both are self serving, wealthy from their seats in govt, and give zero fucks about us, that still doesn't mean one party isn't abjectly far worse than the other. So when I do try to have those civil conversations with c̶o̶n̶s̶e̶r̶v̶a̶t̶i̶v̶e̶s̶ today's right wing (they are not real conservatives) I've only had luck a very few times. I start off respectful and polite, but they insist on middle ground or me meeting them half way, which would be fine if we started in our assigned areas, but when they are already so far out near the fringe, their "middle ground" is accepting some of their behavior and actions as normal, and that is not happening. Right wing leadership in this country DOES NOT want to legislate for you they want to rule over you.
There was a judge in PA, that got caught getting kickbacks from a juvenile detention center for sentencing juveniles for either longer than needed or for things that they didn’t need to be sent there for. I can't remember all the specifics, but this song made think of that.
I was put in juvi at 13. Plead guilty and became institutionalized. I had 2 co defendents that didn't even get anything for the same crime. Non violent first offense for me. I was released on my 17th birthday. I worked in the kitchen 8hr shifts for 1.00 an hr. I left eith just under 3,500 and that was after i payed 2,700 off the top in restitution. So i ended up working about 6,200 hours for $3,500 as a minor. Oh, and im white lol. I grew yp hearing about all this white privilege. Every now and again i would kick my daddy awake from his heroin nap. Ask him what happened to our privileged. He said he smoked it.
Your calmness and lack of flamboyancy are great. This is the react channel for calm, grown people. You know, living mentally ensconced in the left/ right dichotomy is a choice. That is, once you realize you have been programmed, hypnotized, mesmerized into that mindset by The Government Media Complex. That Government Media Complex thrives off the division that dichotomy breeds. But once you see it, the dichotomy and the unnecessary division and damage that it causes, you cannot unsee it. Most people I know, once they recognized how they were being manipulated, became a more free being instantaneously and refused to play that game. Tom is on point here. Aloha, everyone. 🤙🏾
Might be the only channel across all platforms to review both a Tom McDonald song and a Streetlight Manifesto song. Earned yourself a follow for the absurdity of that alone
I've worked in the prison system both adult and juvenile and I would agrue that "taking away the 13th amendment" is a mostly true statement from what I have personally witnessed in the adult side of the system mainly but the juveniles did do manual labor and operate commercial grade machines/ equipment. the difference is the juveniles don't get paid for all of it and instead were/are tricked into thinking that it's a reward for good behavior/ high level to be able to be out in the unit/pod stripping, waxing, buffing, scrubbing, deep cleaning, etc while everyone else is locked up for lights out at 8pm/20:00. Think about it this way it's easier and more efficient to give someone $1.85 a day on their books to landscape the grounds, remove snow, wash linens, serve the food lines and do custodial work instead of hiring outside laborers at $1000+ monthly by making them think it's a reward they're getting paid for. the only reason it's not called slavery is because of the monetary "compensation". same thing applies to the "free" people only difference is the compensation is higher cause you got to pay your own bills, provide your own food, clothes and shelter. I could possibly go even further and say that unless you are fortunate enough to get a job that you love doing so much that it doesn't feel like working but just having fun it could be considered involuntary cause who really wakes up every morning excited to work in a manure farm.
@@sselluoss5935 Eh, yes and no. In America went from blacks were the slaves to okay we'll make everyone a slave to the masters (top 1%) aka middle class.
@@pittydogowner Even if it was called slavery, the 13th amendment allows it. That's why there is no "taking away of the 13th amendment" for prisoners because the 13th amendment allows for slavery in prison.
He said “Pfizer” which could have gotten him cancelled on RU-vid. He also called out BOTH SIDES in this song. He’s not Conservative or Liberal. He’s human having a human experience and talking about it. We are in a place in society where the divide is becoming counterintuitive. The things humans argue about are so trivial in light of the big picture.
liberals are conservative by definition. the gop are regressive conservatives, wanting to set things back to a prior status quo- while as the dems just want to maintain the current status quo..... which is literally the definition of conservatism. there is no left party in america.
I was browsing through RU-vid and saw this guy standing on something so i clicked on it , im not a fan of rap music but listened to the lyrics, and everything he says in the song is true. I liked they you broke down the lyrics so people can understand what he is singing. I like the way tom is getting his point across about what is going on in this country, and song is a good way to get the younger crowd to listen
The big truck convoy that happened in Canada, where tons of truckers drove to the capitol and protested, about the lockdowns, I believe. When things probably SHOULD have been starting to open up, Canada was still enforcing some pretty harsh measurement. GoFundMe accounts to support the truckers, and other fundraising methods as well, I think, were cancelled and even confiscated because they were labelled domestic terrorists.
And they froze bank accounts on people even donating $10 to the convoy. The huge amount of money raised on gofundme and other. Just magically disappeared.
The line "we label truckers in the convoy as terrorists" is referring to comments made by the so called Prime Minister trudeau of Canada during the freedom convoy protests in 2022
I love your content! I have a new found respect for your channel now. I'm glad you listen, research and base your opinions on sound knowledge! Left and right have very extreme opinions. I'm glad there are "like minded people of different skin tone" who see the flaws on both sides. They both scam us to make money! Im sick of it!! 😡😡😡
You are the most fair reviewer I watch. And you have a very pleasant voice. I am glad for your review of this because although he is saying some very truthful stuff, but some of it is also being said so people pick it apart. I really think that is part of his motivation for this song.
I respect Tom MacDondald as I have been a musician myself for over 20 years. I don't care for his music or his image, but I love your RU-vid content. He does have a good message in this song. You a a very intelligent person with some impressivley knowlegeable understanding of psychology and human interaction. You know many words that most people would misunderstand and would have to do reaserch on. Keep up the good work!
Respect for keeping the imprisonment problem separate from the police. All they do (for 99% of incidents) is show up where called to, or traffic stops & paperwork.
I’m so glad this showed in my suggested videos. Subbed because it’s always great to find a content creator and commentator that gets it’s a class war, and always has been.
I'm not the biggest Tom MacDonald fan in the world but I do respect that every song I've ever heard has a clear political message. This particular song was fire
TOM CREATES CONTENT THAT GIVES YOU FACTS AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO THINK FOR YOURSELF. Did you ever notice he doesn’t tell you what to think . He encourages you to do it for Yourself.
My boyfriend who had a drinking issue was arrested for a dui in California after Kamala Harris was able to privatize the prisons. His family had a farm where we were living at the time. He was on probation and every week they came onto the property and made us sit while the tested him for alcohol. They took him to jail for 3 months, 3 different times. He was a musician and all this did was make him more bitter. I had seizure activity and one of the times they came while I was in the middle of one in his little cabin. He was trying to help me and they could care less, they arrested him for resisting arrest. I could have died at that moment and it was all about their quota. We moved to the desert mountains and he was not bothered again but tragically he passed away from alcohol abuse. I could not help him get over that and get real treatment. I will always blame Kamala for this. Not his drinking but the way he was marketed into the system which made him lose all hope
He had been drinking for a long time and it was the hard stuff daily. He couldn't shake it and every time he tried to quit he would get deathly sick. I would say he was doing it for about 35 years. He was 57 when he passed awa
They were transporting the goods to the supply chain When the truckers did that in Canada, Justin T. froze all the money in the banks where donations went to support them. They even arrested some of them for trying to move the products on their trucks. It was horrific, but no one knows where this money that was stolen actually went to.
Great reaction! You have another new subscriber!! This song is truly a conversation starter in all sides!! It's the truth!! I love how you said, it's NOT us vs us!! It truly is us, the people, that NEED to expose all their crimes!!
It is so nice to hear rational thought from a content creator. The 1994 crime bill caused the private prison system to explode and become the norm. The increase in mandatory sentencing lead to horrid results.
Your hatred for people who are how they are is just sad. You believe they chose to be those? No empathy, no care, no understanding, and yet you naively believe and paint yourself as a "good person" lol, oh the irony. Humans are violent, that is a trait of this species. You are a brainless sheep that's been conditioned to hate so control is maintained and the status quo never changes. That's all.
LOVE YOUR REVIEW- Echo chamber gun violence. I two years ago wrote a law that : would reduce gun violence 80%, violent crimes by 85.4 %, take illegal guns off streets at a level of 7% a year reduction, help keep guns out of hand of kids and people with mental issues and does not violate the 2nd amendment and requires no bans, none not for ammo or stocks or magazines, or guns. I let many politicians on both sides know about this no one reached out no one replied to this day I have reached out over 100 times to get someone to at least look at what I have to offer. Bottom line they don't want a solution why because it is vote and money food every time a child is killed or a school is shot up. The politicians on both sides don't care they just pander to keep the argument going. All politicians are Corrupt!
Lenear, thank you for your charming and entertaining commentary. I have not viewed all of your reaction videos, but I never miss a Tom McDonald. Your knowledge astounds of all genres amazes me as does your general knowledge of Life. I am never in New York, but you are a very interesting person that I would love to converse with. Thank you and please keep up the good works.
It’s a sad world that we live in that we are more worried about money than the well being of others on this planet. Last time I checked…. It’s still just paper….. But I guess a piece of paper that says stuff will excuse you from anything, we don’t need accountability anymore. As always I’m glad you keep it real, maybe someday we can actually fix this world instead of turning it into a clown world.
I realized a long time ago that the only difference between the right and left are the words, right and left. I stand firmly in the middle hoping to get back the government that was designed for us. I hope every day for politicians that can stay uncorrupted and fight for what they are suppose to, "we the people". Unless our system changes soon, we will have no rights. When the second amendment is gone, "we the people" become "we server the government".
13:20 "Still they label Truckers in the Convoy as terrorists". This is a reference to the Freedom Convoy 2022 in Ottawa, Canada - where I happen to live. After almost 2 years of lockdowns, mandates and forced, "pokes", the Canadian gov't decided it was going to require that all truckers get vaccinated or lose their jobs - despite the fact that truckers had been working all through the pandemic & they spend the vast majority of their time alone in their truck. The truckers made their way to Ottawa (the capital) to protest and along the way garnered the support of many other Canadians who were tired of the lockdowns. The truckers parked their trucker all throughout downtown Ottawa essentially shutting down the city (however, during that time most business were closed due to the mandates). The protest lasted 3 weeks then the Canadian gov't branded them as racist, sexist, extremists and froze many of their bank accounts as punishment.
the truckers and convoy bars is about that Canadian protests that happened during the pandemic. Truckers were protesting in huge convoys blocking strategical streets for days ... they got a lot of donation by supporters on a go fund me , for gas and food etc because they had no salary while protesting and the government basically shutdown that gofundme and froze the donation to make sure the protesters wouldn't get it.
A like an sub from me, sir. I like the courage and "real talk". Keep the conversations going! That's where innovation and growth starts. Unity and debate is what solves our issues. We can no longer ignore leaders who procrastinate our most concerning issues, that of which humans face at a critical level.
I see the fed note on the left side of a 20 dollar bill, but I also see a US note on the right side. So that is why there is a gold pot on that side. I was wondering.
classified intelligence as in its called intelligence but a good play on words due to the lack of people who actually see whats going on and will fight for one side or the other while donating and spending hundreds to prove thier stance while also then complaining amazon isnt paying enough. Truckers in the convoy, its the Canadian truckers protest, its not even mentioning what happened to people who sent them money in support either.
Just think of a horseshoe, far left and far right. They still meet in the middle 😅and that is why we will never really change 😅 The USA is only left or right, because the people with money don't want change 😅 also if I put 250k a week in you pocket, just like a dog, you will sit for a treat 😁 and humanity is getting week. Look at TikTok, more and more kids don't want the whole story. Idk is it just me
The convoy thing is about Canada... Truckers protested and Trudeau invoked the emergencies act for the first time in almost 100 years, seized peoples bank accounts, go fund me donations and towed trucks..
Truckers went across Canada of every ethnicity while they were parked in Ottawa, they had bouncy castles for the kids, they fed the homeless, crime was down. Trudeau put in the emergency act, attacked the protesters with horses running over people labeled them as racist, misogynists, etc. tried to plant evidence, denied gas, NEVER talked to the protesters, froze their bank accounts, confiscated go fund me money that people gave in support. Went after people who donated to the truckers like a single mom froze her bank account. He is a WEF puppet along with a lot of the Canadian government.Klaus Schwab was bragging about it. Sickening.
Truckers in the Convoy.. Is in Regards to the Freedom Conoy in Canada (As He Was Born Here it Still effects him, And Trudeau Banned him from Radio in Canada)
