chuddy mad?
based
American hero
Guthrie was extremely based and far more adventurous politically than any prominent musicians today
modern leftcucks don't even agree with that sentiment. They'd change it to "This Land is Stolen Indigenous Land."
Looks great.
Then what are you crying about?
He wasn't based. Like all commies, he had zero inner resources. He was a soulless materialist and not a very spiritual man. Chuds aren't much better themselves btw. Two peas in a pod. They're always complaining about women or daydreaming about being Hitler and gaining some form of power. More material bullshit. Neither are anything like people who actually suffer or live in poverty, but who still have love, family, real community, and are rich in spirit. That's why black gospel, folk, and blues guys owned Woody and made better songs. They had more to dig into than just gaining power or material goods and bitching about not having it. Same with hillbillies too.
Loving your country and its people is.... le communism!!
Is it the fascist sticker that bothers you so much?
All the cool Oklahomans left during the dust bowl
True. Okies gave the world Merle.

Oklahoma has more than pulled its weight musically over the decades.
reminder that he supported Hitler right up until June 22, 1941
Also "This Land Is Your Land" blatantly stole the melody from the Carter Family's "When The World's On Fire"
If WG were alive today he would have transitioned.
Based able and willing to adjust stances with new information pilled.
That's how music worked back then. The Carter family lifted half their melodies as well.
Neither are anything like people who actually suffer or live in poverty, but who still have love, family, real community, and are rich in spirit.
He was literally a migrant worker who fled the dust bowl. When you know nothing about a subject, it's often better to say nothing about it
You can't transhistoricize modern conceptions of intellectual property. America once had a common folk tradition to draw from and people didn't try to patent chord progressions
When you know nothing about a subject, it's often better to say nothing about it
Goes against the spirit of the board desu.
I went there in 2020 for some art festival or something. It was weird to experience the full 2020 cyberpunk dystopia complete with boarded up windows and ACAB spray painted all over everything in the middle of the reddest state in the union
Kamala lost.
he was a commie
Why is Anon Babble so eager to paint anyone rightfully pointing out injustices as a bleeding heart liberal?
Oklahoma was a purple state as late as the Clinton years but the 2000 election was the last time any counties went Democrat.
Looks like a wintertime photo. Nice that time of year with pleasant temperatures and low humidity compared to the complete hell of summer there.
I’m aware. My parents are some of the last blue dogs left in existence.
i recall Toby Keith talking about how he grew up in a staunch Democrat home. that was when oldschool Southern Democrats were still a thing, mostly in the south and east of the state while the north was more aligned with the Plains states and Republican-dominated.
the reddest state in the union
That explains why their new Bible education scheme keeps showing up in my news feed.
Joined now by West Virginia which also went 100% red this election.
West Virginia still pulls from the DC metro if you can believe it so even though it's a red state they have more liberals mixed in and a more vivid history of working class solidarity. Battle of Blair Mountain and all.
and you will continue to seethe despite that kekylmao
WV has been 100% red for a couple elections now, 2008 was the last time any counties went Democrat.
And Manchin was a democrat 2 years ago.
yeah the winters are nice i guess but death would be better than living in Oklahoma from May to September. if you don't die of heat exhaustion you'll get your head cracked open from hail stones the size of golf balls or get blown away by tornadoes.
Leon Russell mogs everyone else from Tulsa if we're being honest
I’ve been around union workers my whole life. The only people I’ve ever known who know or care about the Battle of Blair Mountain look like community college professors who larp with their John Brown Gun Club buddies twice a year
I’ve been around union workers my whole life.
Where at? It's still obscure but there's agl growing cultural awareness in the east.
The state that this thread is about.
WV is mostly barely literal Ulster Scot hillbillies, most of them can't even read or write let alone know about some labor strike from 100 years ago.
Well I’m sure they’re glad you’ve got their back.
In the 50s they had Kay Starr, Patti Page, and Chet Baker, a strong period overall and like most of them Kay fucked off to California as an adult and only returned to Oklahoma to be buried there, also like most Oklahoman women she claimed to be part Native American but probably wasn't (they have a fetish for claiming to be 1/50th Cherokee).
yeah it's just NPR listeners who jerk it to Woodie Guthrie that cares about that shit
My grandfather was in the Chicago Iron Workers union. He was a 6'8" GIGA Chad from Slovenia. He had 15 children and was worth $10 million dollars when he died.
this
man he was good at embezzling the union pension fund and lived a nice life at everyone else's expense, wasn't he?
chuddy mad?
and you will continue to seethe despite that kekylmao
Blair Mountain fighters, Samuel Gompers, et al. would have been full MAGA trying to get the Pajeet Exclusion Act passed against H1-B labour
Not at all he was a wagie before he started buying rental properties. His union just knew how to negotiate.
Oklahoma? I'm talking about West Virginia where Blair Mountain is.
NPRfags tend to forget that organized labor in the US had a long history of being pretty fucking racist and after both world wars there were race riots against black scab workers who got their jobs while they were serving overseas.
lol even trudeau is starting to turn on jeets
thats how bad it is
It’s really funny how they think the regional subcultures and races of the United States would ever see themselves as one unified people. It’s even funnier when they try to gaslight you into thinking le porky made it up and that it isn’t an organic thing arising from the US being a young settler nation made up of people who intentionally self-segregated into insular cliques.
Socialism would be a much easier sell if submitting to globohomo weren’t a mandatory prerequisite.
Or that communists were expelled from unions early on.
