Jason Aldean's ragebait tactic worked, his "song" is now #1 on iTunes

[WalterSlovotsky]

It's been all over the news that Jason Aldean is being attacked and reprimanded for his music video "Try That In A Small Town". From CMT to Sheryl Crow to major left-leaning news outlets, he has been lambasted on all sides. As a result, more people than ever are downloading his song, proving that there is no such thing as bad publicity.

What do you think this says about American society, in light of all of the other recent social issues and boycotts? I think that conservatives are pretty much just fed up at this point, and they are no longer afraid to stand up against what has been an onslaught of liberals attempting to control every aspect of society that they don't particularly like. Granted, just my opinion. I am not a Republican, and consider myself to be a straight up Libertarian.

What do you think about what has been, up until now, a very recent cultural shift where the right and conservatives are participating in boycotts, attending school council meetings, and standing their ground when they are attacked in the media? Do you think this will have any major impact on the elections next year?

I'm interested to see what everything thinks about this.

left-leaning news outlets

Are you saying that disapproving of threatened lynching is something the far-right doesn't do?

I am not a Republican, and consider myself to be a straight up Libertarian.

So, a fascist wannabe as opposed to a full-fledged fascist.

more people than ever are downloading his song

It doesn't need to even be that many people, just the number of downloads, which can be boosted by far-right rich people. Or one can buy multiple times.

If their "standing grounds" are revolting then yes, they should be attacked.

Are you? or this is another one of your attempts at whipping up flame wars or trolling with more of your disingenous, if not downright flaming, "claims"?

No one threatened any lynching. Sigh.

Dear god, you folks need a new playbook. You can't call everyone a fascist who doesn't agree with you, especially when you have no clue what the word means.

You were okay with all of the violence in 2020, in support of a career criminal drug dealer who held a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach while he robbed her, but refusing to buck down to the media over a song that CONDEMNS that violence is "revolting"? Gotcha.

You came here to attack me personally, not my argument. No one is trolling. Serious topic, which you are trying to derail with misdirection, moving the goalpost and ad hominem attacks.

Be better.

hot take: lynchings are bad

No clue eh? Libertarianism isn't famous for bright minds, guess you are no exception.

I came to remind everyone that you always do this: pretend to post a question in good faith only to throw tantrums like you do.

Be better.

Take your own advice, little guy. You got a lot of ground to cover.

Can you show me which lyric in that song supports lynching, or calls for violence? I've read through it and I can't find it. Maybe you can provide clarity.

So, you don't want to discuss this, you just want to attack me. Understood.

Thanks for stopping by.

Arguable. You looked at the words but didn't understand them.

Maybe you can provide clarity.

Maybe you watched the music video?

The video shows exactly what kind of violence is being condemned. The violence that I have yet to ever hear a liberal condemn.

Glad you were able to see at least part of it. Now, condemn it, openly.

Functional illiteracy in plain sight.

 

[WalterSlovotsky]

Functional illiteracy in plain sight.

Which is just another ad hominem attack. Come on, man. Attack ideas, not people. You can be better than this. Stick to the topic. I don't care that you don't like me. You don't have to like me to have some integrity and understand how to debate.

 

[Dark_Ansem]

No, the video is talking exactly to carry out the violence that is not condemned, but celebrated by whatshisname. Maybe he was still affected by the heat stroke?

Glad you were able to see at least part of it. Now, condemn it, openly.

Again, you're illiterate, as we are all condeming lynching, except you.

Show me which lyric calls for lynching. Defend what you said.

 

[Dark_Ansem]

Attack ideas, not people

You don't have any ideas or merit except this continous little game you pretend to play, thinking you're so clever using ambiguous language and word salads that mean absolutely nothing, paired with snide remarks, then throwing tantrums when the remarks are thrown back at you.

Erm erm.

"Be better". Not that you can of course.

Show me which lyric calls for lynching. Not letting you off the hook. You made a claim. Now support it.

Do you know what "lynching" means? Or do you need to be slapped by the Cambridge dictionary to learn something?

 

[WalterSlovotsky]

Yes.

Now, show me which lyric calls for lynching. I feel like I might have asked this before. Is there a reason you won't defend your statement? Is it possibly because you can't?

 

[PZT]

mediocre NPC men on the internet sure do love "debates" don't they

 

[WalterSlovotsky]

I am the only one actually debating. The two of you are just here to attack me. Let me know when the debate starts. I'm here for it.

 

[Dark_Ansem]

Yes.

Now, show me which lyric calls for lynching. I feel like I might have asked this before. Is there a reason you won't defend your statement? Is it possibly because you can't?

I've asked you a very simple question. Are you capable of answering it or not?

 

[WalterSlovotsky]

I've asked you a very simple question. Are you capable of answering it or not?

I already answered you, my friend. Yes, I understand what lynching is. No lyric in that song calls for lynching.

Now, for the fourth time. If you think there is a single line in there calling for lynching, PROVE ME WRONG. It's simple. Just copy and paste the offensive line or lines here. If you could, you would have done so.

SInce you can't, all you can do is try to insult me, personally. I understand. You're angry. Anger makes it hard to use logic.
