A week ago, few, if any, people across the United States knew who Oliver Anthony was. Then he uploaded an incredibly heartfelt song about making a living in America these days. And this song, "Rich Men North of Richmond," caught fire. It had 8 million views already when I first listened to it yesterday, it's got 9 million this morning. Just listen. Maybe you feel a lot like Oliver does. I know I do. This is a GREAT song.
There comes a time when the working people on the far Left, and the working people on the fear Right, and all the formally working people trying to make a living again, realize they're all pissed off about the same basic thing. It's just getting too hard to make a decent living as a reasonably honest American.
There are no "elites." There are only a bunch of bought and paid for douchebags, politics, both sides of the media, who've run up TRILLIONS of dollars in debt to prop up their benefactors. The working people of America, on both sides, are just damn sick of the douchebaggery. That's why this song struck such a chord with millions of people in a few days.
Bogger's note: It took me about an hour to write this quick post, because my wifi was being throttled back to keep me from promoting this song. I couldn't get Blogger to load, and then couldn't get YouTube to come up. That's one of many douchebag tactics these days to keep certain ideas out of the media, and to discourage blogger, writers, and people who think and share certain ideas. I first heard of this song on the Wealthion YouTube channel, of all places.
For those of you who haven't looked at a map, Washington D.C. is north of Richmond, Virginia.
I'm doing a lot of my writing on Subtack these days, check it out:
