Heard My Chemical Romance was created after witnessing 9/11, so I looked up the band’s political beliefs and came across this thread about Frank Iero
he’s literally so confusing. remember a few years ago when he had a ‘don’t tread on me flag’ on his basement wall? he also was totally voting for bernie sanders. … when blm movement got its biggest attention in 2020 he published some shitty depoliticizing note. its one of the worst notes i’ve read back then
He’s definitely not a right winger. Maybe moderate leftist. Not everyone needs to fit into a neat little box.
He is an “Italian American” style leftist from NJ. Definitely socially progressive and left of center on social issues, but still sees value in some traditions. It makes sense if you know anyone from New Jersey
I hate liberals I hate liberals I hate liberals I hate liberals I hate liberals
Maybe I’d be willing to let appropriating the no steppy flag if it means meeting people where they’re at and then eventually discarding it when the euphemism is not needed, but do they not realize that the USSR was Russia rebuilt from the ground up? Even if I waved a magic wand and the US became leagues more redeemable, that’s just what needs to be done.
