    I'm fairly certain this song is both about mass media media broadly and the manufacturing of consent around the Gulf war. This is why compares the yellow ribbon to the swastika, you're being indoctrinated into believing what your country and it's troops are doing is correct, noble even, when it was a tragedy for the common people of Iraq. Also I vote for Know Your Enemy, it's my favorite.

When good men do nothing, evil is free to do as it wishes. And sadly, there's a lot more evil men than good ones. I thank the Lord that the angels outnumber the devils, itellyoowhut man

    I always took the line about yellow ribbon instead of swastikas is that although the idea of "support the troops" isn't as obvious as a swastika, its still propaganda because troops can do bad things in that they can be used as a tool of the corrupt. So he's telling us that just because it sounds reasonable on the surface we shouldn't blindly support things.

It wasn't until just now that I correlated this song with that in all their music. I thought it was just to get the point across, but now I see that he saying it "again and again and again, until your mind gets locked in". Thanks for helping me realize that.

    The yellow ribbon, specifically the yellow ribbon around an oak tree, represents honoring fallen soldiers and sailors.

      Not all war propaganda is the same. If you are fighting a defensive war such as the Allies in WW2 it is not the same thing as Axis propaganda. While urging people to fight is the same but the reasoning behind why you fight is different.
      And fighting to liberate other countries that been invaded is right thing to do.
      This why I don't like pure antiwar stances. I prefer the anti-imperialist stance. Because fighting an imperialist invasion is always right.

    I love how Zach loses his gotdam mind by the end of this song. There are 3 RaTM songs from this concert uploaded to YT - this, Fistful of Steel and Killing in the Name. As you can see, their sound is really clear on this set; for these songs, I'd actually recommend the concert version over the studio version. I'm not sure if you've reacted to Fistful of Steel yet, but you should definitely do one to this concert version. Pretty sure you've already reacted to Killing In The Name.

    The Yellow Ribbon campaign Zach is taking about was an anti-decent campaign during the Iraq War. People against the war were accused of not "supporting the troops" and the "thin blue line flag" of the day was a yellow ribbon with "Support The Troops" written on it. FWIW "Pack the 9" is slang from network TV production. It meant loading up the 9 o'clock hour (prime time) with the most entertaining shows.

  • @simulcop

    The yellow ribbon comes from a song that asked to "Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree", as a sign that when the protagonist of the song comes back from WAR, his girl still loves him. It is such an interesting reduction of the people that were made to murder, maim, oppress, as well as suffer, get hurt, die... all at the young age where you SHOULD be worried about your girl still loving you.... He wants to illustrate the idea that yellow ribbon, swastika, or any symbol that glorifies and normalizes war, is essentially the same.

    I think you really gotta do “The Ghost of Tom Joad” ,which is a cover from their Renegades album. Also “Darkness” from The Crow Motion Picture Soundtrack, also known as “Darkness of Greed”, really solid stuff! I’m sure others can suggest more, there’s not a song from their catalogue I don’t enjoy!
    I’ve been watching all your RATM reactions man, love your lyrical breakdowns and covering the history as well. I’ve really learned some stuff and now I love the songs even more than I did before. Keep up all the good, good content ! ❤️✌️

    Consider when this song came out, the early 90's. Desert Storm is when the yellow ribbon thing (and yes, to show support for the troops) came about. Later to morph into the ribbon magnet craze.
