Metallica's cowardly silence on Palestine shows that “And Justice For All” was a hoax

Support the police flag and I don't mean the band.

Got it, thanks.

Palestine is a political group. All nations are. All cultures are. But if "political" just means "whatever I think should be controversial", then communism is apolitical.

Politics is the inevitable outcome of humans interacting with each other in groups. Once you get past the 2 person mark politics start to form, mind you it's not the grand systems one may think of but it is politics.

I think politics is when a group of even two people form a system for working together. A marriage is a political organisation.

I think political agreement or pairing would be a better term. Organization at least to me implies far more people than two, unless they are polyamorous then it's 100 percent a political organization.

It is self-inflicted because Hetfield chose to be a massive hypocrite on stage by giving a little speech about not being political while shitting on Macklemore for being political. If he had taken the apolitical option to keep his mouth shut and just play the music, then I'd agree it's weird to randomly single out Metallica. They've always been bootlicking hypocrites, it's nothing new.

which is a crock of shit because they put political symbols on one of their most famous albums

The shitty Metallica members don't fall far from the Lars...

Fuck Lars since the early "Napster" '90's.

Their last good album was master of puppets only because Dave Mustaine was writing for them.

I’ve said it before. Metallica are the old prejudiced white guys of metal. They’re rich and fly around in private jets. They had all kinds of anti-establishment and anti-war lean in their early music and they have walked back those lyrics to “not really mean what they say” these days. Their concert parking lot tailgaters fly Trump flags, thin blue line flags, Gadsden flags, and and firearms fla...

Well said and true to a fault.

What a random and nonsensical article…. I suppose we should also drag Kings of Leon down? I haven’t seen them show support for Palestine either!

In fact we should boycott EVERY artist that ever didn’t display a Palestinian flag on the stage. That’ll show ‘em all!!

Metallica only serves rich people. No one with a regular job can afford those concerts. These guys used their fans so bad. They're a stained paragraph to the long story of humans and music. They shouldn't even be mentioned anymore.

If the fans had any balls, they'd let Metallica disappear forever with their money. It feels like it's happening anyways which is why they only play for rich people now.

Take it you’re fortunate enough to not be a US shitizen? It’s the stupidest shit, EVER! Really started appearing about 20 years ago. Or at least that’s when I really started to notice them? All over the backs of SUVs/Pavement princesses. This was in a shithole, known as, Berks County, PA.

These days, it’s all over the god damn country. I’m in SEMI, Detroit area, a hotbed for this type of shit. You’ll see a bunch of these fucking losers with jeeps and that shit emblazoned EVERYWHERE. It’s on shirts, flags, you name it!

These knuckle draggers seem to think it’s like having a FOP (fraternal order of Police) plate/badge/sticker, that it’ll somehow let you break laws and get out of tickets. Back the blue and the laws they stand for! But only for the others! Oh, and when it’s convenient for me!!!

These people are hypocrites and they don’t stand for a single fucking thing in life. Indoctrinated to Nth degree. They tell foreigners “They need to come here and respect our laws!” Mind you, these people ignore laws, tailgate up your fucking ass for the slightest inconvenience and much worse!
They’re in such a fucking hurry to get a cars length ahead! And then guess what! When they get in front of you, they magically find all the time in the world to drive 5-10 under and just act like passive-aggressive, petulant children.

LOSERS! Every. Single. Fucking. Last. One. Of. Them!
Best part, most cops think they’re losers, too! Stickers do nothing unless you’re a hot chick with tits.

Yes. There is a difference in the degree of choice one has; lots of good music out there... Not so many choices for ethical electronics beyond reduce, reuse, and recycling.

Pretty much.
I had first heard about it in one of these 3 videos (not sure which, and they're worth watching - especially if you're non-murican -, in this order, at least once):

Now i know the context, thanks.

God I've seen them twice live and used to be obsessed with them in high school. Now I just basically want to vomit looking at this. Like I get it. You got fuck you money. I get it, spend it, but yeah what happened to and justice for all? What happened to one? They are a bunch of posers. Long live fucking file sharing. Everybody should fucking share their files and then absolutely just delete them when they're done. Fuck these wastes of space bro. By the way, they sucked both times I seen them cuz they played a huge amphitheaters and stadiums and it was impossible to even fucking catch a glimpse of their dumbasses. James, you ought to just go back to drinking yourself to death cuz it would be better than shopping here at Armani or whatever the fuck.

Oh and maybe make a fucking sequel to your shitty whiny pissy baby ass "documentary", so everybody can witness how big of a bunch of cry babies you are once again.

Girl pop stars got more fucking balls than you guys do you dumb fucking pieces of shit. Fuck off James. Fuck off Lars. Fuck off Kirk. And new guy, whoever the fuck you are you can fuck off too cuz you're shopping in Armani with James. And you guys all suck nowadays bunch of fucking whiny ass pissy boys
