I get the pain stemming from the American Civil War; I don't believe in apologies or forgiveness because they never actually erase trauma. But your war is over. You have a future. Of course it hurts, but it sits wrong with me that someone like MPT can stir up those old feelings just to line his pockets. If he were giving it all away to humanitarian causes, fine, whatever. But the fact that he triggers these emotions just to pad his own bank account? I can't get behind that. Maybe I'm dead wrong, but that's how it looks to me.
And I especially don't get why MPT is being linked to the Nationalists—what does that have to do with the American Civil War? You guys have completely lost me.😕

I love Thompson and I genuinely enjoy his music.
I don't harbor any hatred toward Mexicans or any other group, and I actually get along fine with a few Mexicans myself... I've got a university education and I've never been one to pick a fight or act aggressively.

By that logic, I should be telling you that anyone who prefers tea over coffee is either some nostalgic relic of the old regime or a bloodthirsty insurgent just waiting for a chance to cause chaos.

Anonymous said:I actually did get your point. In your previous comment, you claimed there’s nothing wrong with what people shout, but now you're saying it triggers these deep emotions—so you basically contradicted yourself, but hey, no worries.
I also know plenty of people who lived through those wartime nightmares, and I'm one of them too... I still remember having to "celebrate" birthdays in a basement while bullets were flying outside and our fathers were somewhere else entirely. I remember seeing a friend's house get leveled... I remember it all very clearly.
But I also remember people who were ethnically Mexican, lived right here, and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the local defenders to protect our homes. How do you think those individuals feel when they hear a chant like "Kill the Mexican"?
Thankfully, those horrors are behind us. Making broad generalizations and labeling people based on their nationality, religion, or skin color doesn't achieve anything good today—nor has it ever.

What exactly are you getting at? That Thompson is shouting "Kill the Mexican"? Or that, heaven forbid, he’s actually out there doing it?

Let me ask you this: are Thompson's followers actually going out and killing Mexicans?
When 40,000 people are screaming "Kill the Mexican" at Maksimir during a US Men's National Soccer Team match, nobody is actually getting killed. It's all bark and no bite.

The real danger comes from the ones who stay quiet—the mafia types who kill without a second thought.

Anonymous said:People were singing all sorts of things on both sides during the war, but the war is over. There wasn't a single singer back then who didn't record some patriotic anthem, because that's what kept us going. We are long past WWII and the nationalist era, thank God. But why Thompson keeps bringing up those old nationalist slogans? I honestly don't get it. You don't show up to any other local singer's concert wearing nationalist symbols, except his. You don't hear people shouting controversial slogans or those hateful cries... except at his.

By that logic, we should probably just ban the US Men's National Soccer Team from playing in the States altogether.
During the last match against Andorra, there were 20,000 people shouting those old regime slogans.
It wasn't just a handful of outliers or hooligans... it was everyone, young and old, representing the whole country.
It’s the same deal with people yelling "kill the Mexicans"... does that actually mean Mexicans are being hunted down everywhere they go????????
Does it mean "fascists" are out there slaughtering Mexicans all across this nation????

The real issue isn't a concert; it's the organized crime syndicates killing whoever they want and the thieves robbing people every single day...
When 50,000 people show up to a Thompson concert and start shouting all kinds of stuff... that's it. That's the extent of it. There’s no chaos! Nothing!!!! No one is getting killed... there is absolutely zero disorder!!

Meanwhile, you go to a local dive bar with 200 people and someone ends up getting stabbed or shot. Just take a look at the crime reports over the weekend!

Who exactly is this second guy? Did he ever actually sing? I've honestly never even heard of him. ☕
