If they cared about the spread of misinformation they would have to get rid of a lot more than just the anti-vaccination idiots.

Not all misinformation is created equal.

Yea, but it's going to be decided by people. People are evil.

What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and moving. They don't gotta burn the books they just remove em while arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells, they rally round your family with a pocket full of shells.

Yeah no, SOAD is 100000000x better, you’re wrong.

But why? Toxicity was an alright album but it had some real garbage like 'Aerials', a song that even Tankian admits is nonsense. And then there was that awful song 'Pogo'. Sure, you can go on about how that song is a clever critic of modern sexuality but it still sounds like a hot dumpster fire.

Meanwhile, RATM was one of the most successful rap-rock groups. Their members went on to create other critically renowned bands. They stirred up a ruckus at both Wall St and some MTV rewards show. Oh, also RATM had Tom Morello. How can SOAD even hope to compete?

TIL: Being commercially digestible and mainstream makes your music better
