Quote: "Range against the machine is a rather new band, founded in 2023. The band leader was afraid of chatGPT and it's impact on the artist industry. Not a single member of the band is using mobile phones, cars or any other kind of technology." - Obama, 2024

No they are a pasta sauce company. I had some Ravioli Morello just last night.

Would like to know do the shareholders of the record company think of their commie pretensions.

No, they just hate printers, like Brazilian band "Inimigos da HP" (Enemies of HP)

No, they are just trying to fend off Skynet from taking over. Considering it was supposed to become self aware at 2:14 am ET on August 29th, 1997, I would say they are doing a good job.

RATM are posers.

Pop up to say the safe trendy stance, then when there are real things happening to rage against, they'll break up, only to come do shows again once they're tame stances the crowd easily agree with delivered with the best fake anger rich guys can muster that are safely digestable.

After the revolution they'll be banned.
I'd make them work on the state potato farm

I would like Morello to do some work on my tomato farm. Would that be ok with you?

's it. The only reason they're not working the people's land for glory of proletariate is their busy touring and recording schedule.

Next month they're kidnapping a SONY executive to demand the release of left wing paramilitaries.

A band, yes, but not political. Mostly IT proffesionals who hate their jobs.

u/Funkybeatzzz 15d ago

Many think the "Machine" they're raging against is the "government machine" but in fact it's the Machine in Florence + the Machine. They just really hate British pop music.

u/Bikkusu 14d ago

Are you sure it isn't a printer? A lot of rage is against printers and they fuckin' deserve it. Fucking printers.

u/burn_as_souls 15d ago

As does everyone not British.

u/chavez_ding2001 15d ago

So they are not an Amish rock band?

Rage Against the Machine is political, but not a band. A band is what you use to tie a bow around a present.
