I always get Rise Against and Against Me! mixed up when I just glance at titles, though I love them both I am partial to AM! I also always forget just how much they sound like Bad Religion and how it must’ve been weird to see them tour together. When it comes to reparations, most people who are seriously talking about it usually talk about it in two ways. The first, how Marianne Williamson pointed out that reparations are first and foremost an apology and that the material aspect of it is, like in an apology, the actions that solidify the apology as more than words. Secondly, and here I evoke people like Ta-Nehisi Coates, reparations have to provide the recipients with power. People that want to dismiss the concept of reparations only talk about it in terms of a check, in terms of money, because then those groups can be pushed aside, à la Native Americans on reservations-reminds me of a short story by Sherman Alexie called “The Only Traffic Signal On The Reservation Doesn’t Flash Red Anymore.” Coates has made the point of arguing that reparations ought to come in the form of property that can be used collateral or can be used as an investment, primarily home ownership. Thing is, if we could get more socialist policies, even soc dem policies like Bernie Sanders’ proposals, a lot of what is currently discussed as the material side of reparations becomes less and less impactful because we want those efforts and programs to be universal and apply across the board-they bring everyone up. Unfortunately, as long as we cling to capitalism reparations will always be a topic that needs to be addressed in some form or another. I am the kind of communist that believes housing should be a human right, I am not necessarily talking about making everyone own a home, apartment, or whatever kind of domicile that will constitute a legal “home,” or the opposite, that if you have bought a home you should have to forfeit it, (but in that case, I would want mortgages and money owed to be eliminated, like student debt.) Anyway, the point is that reparations cannot simply be the cutting of a check and people who argue for that aren’t serious about doing reparations in the first place. With all that said, I do think the term reparations-I do think Vin does recognize it, as well-doesn’t only mean that in the context of the song, but is used to a boarder end. Unfortunately, the term is loaded, and using it runs the risk of derailing whatever the real conversation is that you want to have-in this case poverty, wealth inequality, and capitalism.
You are too well spoken and too well read and educated to be posting RUclips comments. You should leave. But seriously, I love reading them and watching the hurricane that are the replies. I commend you for trying.
I'm super happy you chose this song and not one of their super popular ones like Savior or Hero of War (whilst those too are great in their respective right). Tim Mcilrath, vocalist and 1/2 guitarists of Rise Against, is a powerhouse of lyrical poetry, so I'm very happy you chose a little lesser known song that still delivers great lyrics. Here are some more great choices from Rise Against that span their 20+ year career (from New to old): People Live Here (an acoustic song) This is Letting Go The Strength To Go One Elective Amnesia (bonus track) The Good Left Undone State of the Union Blood to Bleed Blood-red white & blue Everchanging (acoustic or not) Gethsemane (bonus track) They've been my favorite band for over 12 years so lm happy to see you very much enjoy them and hope you check them out more. Stay safe and great video!
Survivor Guilt has some of the most memorable lyrics. After all these years, it’s one of the few lines from Endgame I can cite at any given moment. “The cowards preach from pedestals, with words like ‘courage’ and ‘resolve,’ but what they meant was fuck em’ all, cause freedom isn’t free. They sent our daughters and our sons to deserts under burning suns, a sacrificial slaughtering to fill the pockets of the weak. An artificial enemy, are we so easily deceived?”
YES! I've been waiting for yall to react to Rise Against for a while. More great Rise Against songs about social issues: -Prayer of the Refugee -Help is on the Way -Make it Stop (September's Children) Other great Rise Against songs not about social issues: -Savior -Audience of One -Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
@@XLTBlarg did you just savior is bad lmao what? In terms of popularity and likeability it only comes behind prayer of the refugee. Not a bad song at all. Appeal to Reason was their last really good album. Everything else after that was eh with a couple good songs thrown in here and there. "EDIT": savior is actually kind of a political song. Watch their behind the scenes video about them making the music video
Blood-red White & Blue, Drones, Survive, Collapse (Post Amerika), The Eco-terrorist in Me, and The Violence...all great Rise Against songs - along with all the other recommendations already posted
The whole "white privileges" discussion reminds of the situation between my country (Poland) and Germany: they invaded Poland, they ruined the whole country, they decimated our population, yet due to Yalta and Marshall Plan, Germany are so far ahead in economic development than Poland. But does it mean present Germans should feel guilty about this situation, should they be blamed for the sins of their grandfather? Of course not. One thing is to remember our history, the other is to take misdirected responsibility. Past is a past, now we can only put our efforts in order to nullify the disadvantage.
At the same time it's hard to define a cut-off point when it comes to the very real, material profiteering from actions of the past by people removed by generations from those actions. Here in Austria there exists the common myth of a "year zero", of a reset in 1945, when we had to re-build our country, our lives, our wealth from the ruins. Despite large parts of the core industry - often built and kept alive by slave labour during the war - having survived unharmed; depite the hydropower plants built by slave labour during the war giving us a strong foundation for the modernisation of the new Austria and the post-war economic boom. To this day we all benefit from these "sins of the past" in a very material way. Then there's the capital, the businesses big and small, the apartments and houses, left behind by the Jews we drove out of the country or deported to the camps. Few returned, the restitution process was a long one and made intentionally difficult for any applicant. Here too, in a very real sense, a lot of people, a lot of families benefitted from these crimes. So, where do you draw the line, the cut-off point for responsibility and guilt? Even if the benefit for a random individual today might be so marginal and tangential, that it makes no sense to burden that individual with any sort of specific guilt, I'd hope that a certain awareness of our connections to the past won't be swept aside too easily, an awareness that we're not simply in the clear just because we were born after the fact, remains in play.
It's not about "feeling guilty." It's about recognizing the disparity and understanding how the past affects the present. Nobody is asking you to take responsibility for anything.
@@cdestey Yep. Just ask someone, if my dad/granddad stole something from your family and handed it down to me when he died, does that mean your family has now lost all rights to it and I owe you nothing? I don't need to feel guilty for the act of theft but recognize that the act happen and I'm benefiting (and you're suffering)and something needs to be done for the wrong to be rightm
I work in healthcare, guys. I can't speak to whether or not it's a money thing with Walmart as they have a sordid history of mistreating employees, but I can say there is definitely a shortage of medical supplies including masks. 80% or so of all medical PPE is produced in Asia (Taiwan and Indonesia mostly) and these countries are no longer exporting anything due to the current situation. So it is possible that Walmart, which has thousands of employees, simply can't find the resources to equip them all, as most are going to healthcare workers and first responders.
Amazing Reaction!! Guys Rise Against is one of my fav band in the world! You should check every song by them! They always have interesting lyrics! They are amazing people and they fan are a big open minded community.
they mentioned "Fortunate Son" in these lyrics, so I must mention this song for review.. CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL - FORTUNATE SON, one of the most important rock and roll songs of all time.. (Vin will have much to say about this classic song)
I love this band! They have a lot of really powerful stuff out there and they always manage to make me feel something and ponder their lyrics. "Re-Education (Through Labor)" and "I Don't Wanna Be Here Anymore" are great songs that rock like this one and then "Hero of War" and "People Live Here" are some of my favorite acoustic/slower tracks from them.
This is my literal favorite song of all time. And I adore Rise Against. I'm glad you chose to review this one, it doesn't get a lot of love/notice but damned if it isn't one of the most powerful wake up/protest/fight the system songs since Rage Against The Machine released their self title album in 92.
I just found you guys, and i really like your content, In hope that you read your comments, id like to request that you post the link to the original video you review, it makes it easier for me to watch it again should i like it. Keep up the good work!
Yo this guy is not afraid to talk! 🔥I can disagree with you, I can not like your opinions, but I can’t respect that you’re speaking them openly. I love that shit because it allows me to hear new perspectives, new ideas, and think more.
Definitely my favorite band! First time I heard of these guys I got to see them live at Warped Tour when Siren Song of the Counter Culture came out.. Been stuck on them ever since, gonna see them live for the 25th time this year at Aftershock. You should check out: Rumors of my Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated. Def one of my favorite tracks of theirs.
Rise Against is just the best. I've never commented before on your videos, but I'd love to see you do almost anything by them. "Hero of War" would be a VERY interesting conversation, but if you do it please watch the music video for it
The interesting thing, is even if you were a fiscal conservative, and you only cared about production and profits, you should still support "government charity". There are two psychological principles to back this. Yerkes-Dodson law states that novelty work increases production until too many stress factors lower production. This effect has shown to slow down or speed up output by up to 12%. Meaning if you want people to be as productive as possible you should support the minimization of as many stress factors as possible. The second being Mazlow's hierarchy of needs. It is a pyramid ordered both by the stress they induce, and the order we default to prioritizing them. At the very bottom of that pyramid is physiological need - the most stressful thing is not having these met. When you don't have food, clothing, shelter, etc, you are stressed by default which damages your work output potential according to Yerkes-Dodson. By simply giving everyone all their basic necessities we'd actually increase workplace performance by up to 12%. If you really cared about functional capitalism you'd be a socialist.
Exactly. I was a bottom rung worker myself who couldn't even afford to eat most of the time. Let me tell you its hard to work a 13 hour shift on your feet when you haven't had a decent meal in three days. The number of times people just... Broke... They decide they have enough, throw their work to the ground, stomp on out, and then our manager making three times more than us by sitting in his office on his phone all day just orders us to work harder to make up for the lack of manpower. And not all of us are in a position to just quit. We barely can pay rent, let alone save. Quitting is a surefire way to be homeless. So we just... Work. Until we get lucky to find a chance to leave, or we keel over while slaving away.
Awesome video! Rise Against is the greatest band and the most socially aware band out there. Every song being recommended is fantastic! Another song to check out is Tragedy + Time. Anyways keep up the great work! You got a new subscriber now =)
Rise Against is my second favorite band! So underestimated.. Plz you guys wont regreat reacting to more of their songs.... their lyrics are so powerfull..And really comes in handy in times like these... I strongly suggest "Make it Stop (September's Children)" (The official videoclip version because the videoclipe adds so much more to the message they are trying to pass); "Hero of War" or "People Live Here".. Congrats for the great channel.. love to watch your reactions.. Greetings from a huge fan from Brazil!
You mentioned something about SJWs demonizing “white privilege” (18:15) and someone apologizing for being born (21:40) and it reminded me of “Don’t call me white” by NoFX and “Guilty of being white” by Minor Threat.
Is the new method going to be holding Polls on patreon that are open to anyone, Patron or otherwise? As that might be cool. Also, OH HELL YEAH RISE AGAINST! Some great modern punk/rock (Some folks argue if its punk or not, I say it absolutely is) but this song, and this album are friggin WAY UP THERE on favorites of theirs. I gotta recommend if yall like it, to check out another big song by theirs, Help is On the Way. Watch. That. Video, even if you can't show it on screen its a great official video.
Also, I'll say this about SJWs. They're young leftists, the left of the world and who have been fighting for these things for decades, can have nuance. The young left, meanwhile do not understand nuance yet, but they may get there. I give them credit on even understanding these concepts even partway as it takes some folks decades to realize these things when they're only just getting interested in politics. Notice that this bands been doin this for a while.
You guys should check out the band "Car Seat Headrest" Drunk drivers/Killer Whales or 1937 State Park are very good firat listens for them since most of their discography is better lyrically but has low fidelity and idk if everyone is into that
Slavery was so beneficial to the US because at a time that it was most profitable (after invention of the cotton gin) most countries banned the practice. Also consider that it is allowed to this day by the 13th Amendment of the Constitution in the form of prison labor.
There are different types of privilege that interact together (ie intersectionality). A born rich black person is likely better off than a born poor white person (class). But a born rich white person is likely better off than a born rich black person (race - this is the white privilege, everything else being equal except this metric). There's gender, sexuality, ableness (can't remember the proper word for this one), etc that play into it as well.
Maybe save this one for closer to election time: Propagandhi - State Lottery. It's from an earlier album, so sounds quite different from what you've reviewed so far.
I would counter your contention that the government necessarily abuses power by saying that we the people, the sleeping giant have an obligation to ensure that doesn’t happen by eliminating corruption and having a truly representative system of government. It starts on the ground by eliminating our complacency as a voting public.
Great band 1 of few bands I have yet 2 see live. Can u guys do Pennywise- Bro Hymn or Another of their top 10 hits? Live version is great. Live at the key club! Or AFI?
The whole meaning of this song to me is the idea that poor people need to pull themselves up by their boot straps when they are starting at a massive disadvantage.
"every blessing given by God was given to sinful people" That's a dangerous line to be talking about white privilege. White privilege wasn't given by God, as Sori said, it was taken through violence and hate by people - the opposite of what God is meant to stand for. Also tying the idea of race privilege with God given privilege is basically the foundation for race superiority arguments. I know that's obviously not you you meant it but that phrasing was *ouch*.
hey guys, just found your channel... I wanted to recommend a few songs from Rise Against that will blow your mind, would love to see your reaction to some, I know you cant do all but definitely worth your wild I Dont Want to Be Here Anymore Prayer for the Refugee The Dirt Whispered Survivor Guilt Savior Anywhere But Here People Live Here

Rise Against - Help is on the way
MY FAVORITE BAND! YOU FINALLY DID RISE AGAINST
Secondedddd

"Help is on the Way" is a strange way to spell "Hero of War"
Yes! With Music video!
😂 fucking died when I saw
need both tbh
Both are rather strange ways of spelling Drones
Rise Against is my favorite band. So excited to see you guys react to them.
I'm super happy you chose this song and not one of their super popular ones like Savior or Hero of War (whilst those too are great in their respective right).
Tim Mcilrath, vocalist and 1/2 guitarists of Rise Against, is a powerhouse of lyrical poetry, so I'm very happy you chose a little lesser known song that still delivers great lyrics.
Here are some more great choices from Rise Against that span their 20+ year career (from New to old):
People Live Here (an acoustic song)
This is Letting Go
The Strength To Go One
Elective Amnesia (bonus track)
The Good Left Undone
State of the Union
Blood to Bleed
Blood-red white & blue
Everchanging (acoustic or not)
Gethsemane (bonus track)
They've been my favorite band for over 12 years so lm happy to see you very much enjoy them and hope you check them out more.
Stay safe and great video!
Survivors guilt is one of my favorites by Rise Against, should check out that song, great lyrics!👌

Oh Rise Against sweet! I can absolutely recommend checking out more of their songs like Prayer Of The Refugee, Make It Stop or Ready To Fall
YES! I've been waiting for yall to react to Rise Against for a while.
More great Rise Against songs about social issues:
-Prayer of the Refugee
-Help is on the Way
-Make it Stop (September's Children)
Other great Rise Against songs not about social issues:
-Savior
-Audience of One
-Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
Savior is so bad tho
Make it Stop will 100% make you cry. Very powerful song
@@XLTBlarg Not for someone just getting into Rise Against. It only gets boring after listening to their older stuff for a while
@@XLTBlarg did you just savior is bad lmao what? In terms of popularity and likeability it only comes behind prayer of the refugee. Not a bad song at all. Appeal to Reason was their last really good album. Everything else after that was eh with a couple good songs thrown in here and there.

savior is actually kind of a political song. Watch their behind the scenes video about them making the music video
I love your list, but you forgot Re-Education (Through Labor)!
Rise against- Re-Education or Prayer of the Refugee

Love Rise Against. You guys should check out some Hyro the Hero

Pleasee...
If you guys are going to react to any other video/song from Endgame you should do Survivor's Guilt or Whereabouts Unknown from Appeal to Reason.
You guys should check out the band "Car Seat Headrest" Drunk drivers/Killer Whales or 1937 State Park are very good firat listens for them since most of their discography is better lyrically but has low fidelity and idk if everyone is into that
Time for another Punk week on here!!
Totally agree
oh I forgot how good this band is!
Slavery was so beneficial to the US because at a time that it was most profitable (after invention of the cotton gin) most countries banned the practice.
Also consider that it is allowed to this day by the 13th Amendment of the Constitution in the form of prison labor.

I think it’s not white privilege or black privilege, it’s class privilege that’s the issue.
Exactly. There are lots of black billionaires out there as well.
There are different types of privilege that interact together (ie intersectionality).
A born rich black person is likely better off than a born poor white person (class). But a born rich white person is likely better off than a born rich black person (race - this is the white privilege, everything else being equal except this metric).
There's gender, sexuality, ableness (can't remember the proper word for this one), etc that play into it as well.
Maybe save this one for closer to election time: Propagandhi - State Lottery. It's from an earlier album, so sounds quite different from what you've reviewed so far.
This song is 9 years old and is more relevant in today's climate.
You should do "White Flag Warrior"
By the Flobots feat. The rise against singer. Yeah
You guys should do Rotting Christ, something from their Thy Mighty Contract. Real unique sound, pioneers of Hellenic Black Metal !!💪🤘👌😎
I would counter your contention that the government necessarily abuses power by saying that we the people, the sleeping giant have an obligation to ensure that doesn’t happen by eliminating corruption and having a truly representative system of government. It starts on the ground by eliminating our complacency as a voting public.
If everyone voted and we eliminated the electoral college, conservatives would never win another election.
Good band, good pick!
Bad Wolves - Remember When for somewhat of a counter point to this song.
Rise against- satelite
I was just thinking there should be react videos to rise against cuz the shit is truth

Riverside - Second Life Syndrome
Great band 1 of few bands I have yet 2 see live. Can u guys do Pennywise- Bro Hymn or Another of their top 10 hits? Live version is great. Live at the key club! Or AFI?
You should react to Tragedy + Time by Rise Against
I don't think this is necessarily about race, but about class struggle in general
Therapy? - Stories
You should do a hero of way by ride against also
Amon Amarth - Into the Dark
React to Impending Doom - more than conqueror.
Pleeeaaasseee!!!!
This song almost has 10 years, it's from 2011, Rise Against has some REALLY political songs about disparity and social commenting WAY back
The whole meaning of this song to me is the idea that poor people need to pull themselves up by their boot straps when they are starting at a massive disadvantage.
New methodology for getting your song reviewed: be Ben Webb
Heya!!!!!! Can you react to Arch Echo - immediate results?
There are way more than two choices, there are a million choices stop party politic and encourage independent thought.

Rise Against - collapse (post-amerika)
Do devil machine by silver talon
Rise Against - Prayer of the Refugee
Looks like the sleeping giant is in a coma.
Enjoyed your discussion! Especially tackling it at an angle that doesn't put proponents of the white agenda on the defensive.
Can you guys react to candlebox- You
"every blessing given by God was given to sinful people"
That's a dangerous line to be talking about white privilege. White privilege wasn't given by God, as Sori said, it was taken through violence and hate by people - the opposite of what God is meant to stand for. Also tying the idea of race privilege with God given privilege is basically the foundation for race superiority arguments. I know that's obviously not you you meant it but that phrasing was *ouch*.
Punk rock 💪💪💪
React to Satellite by them!
Moonspell - Full Moon Madness
Moonspell - Night Eternal
