Really fucking good. One of your best.

Captures the essence of a very 2014 vibe that exists at multiple fractals;

— A personal level: social alienation from being spit upon and ejected from any meaningful identity formation

— A cultural level: powerless Milennial talent forced to cope with the crumbling contradictions of Boomer truth-isms

– A political level: wokenees as boot-on-neck but also a vehicle to develop an energetic, life-affirming resistance

Through this song, I can learn about both the state of the world as it existed, and the choices that Walt made to confront that world.

Look, I like the song. The earnestness somehow overpowerpowers the cringe.

But how can expect Jews to align with you on white identity politics less than a century after the holocaust? Most in the alt right are still count-the-ovens antisemitic, and even those that aren't, like you, wear your unscrupulousness as a badge of pride. Even Jews open minded enough to listen to you will never really trust you.

The only thing you have going for you here is that you're right, but that doesn't get you far.

I actually suspect that at this point I'm the most prolific klezmer songwriter of 100% goy extraction in all of human history

kind of like Eminem
