Thompson or Tom?

And honestly, who even is this Tony - Todd guy? I can't even get a straight answer on where he was actually born—was it Kruševac or Prilep?

I think Tony is better! Honestly, he’s in a league of his own!

It’s not really an apples-to-apples comparison... Personally, I lean more toward Thompson's stuff. Don't get me wrong, Joe isn't bad, but I don't listen to him much. Honestly, I feel like he got a bit overhyped after he passed away. And since Joe wasn't really into politics, I'm not even sure why this is being brought up here...
@revolution909😁Patriotism is exactly what Thompson sings about in so many of his tracks...

aha.....well, if we're talking definitions, then patriotism would be:
Patriotism is a term that signifies love for one's homeland.

Therefore, Thompson sings about patriotism (which fits the definition perfectly).
Does that make Thompson a bigger patriot than you, me, or anyone else out there? Just because he writes songs about it?

That’s how they introduce themselves, but it doesn't have to be that way...

So, are we talking about a full-blown public deception here?

Anyone actually doing something for the greater good beats someone who does nothing at all.

Let's be real: Thompson isn't working for the common good, he's just looking out for his own damn self.

Obviously, Tony actually has an ear for music and a decent voice, whereas Thompson just grunts like a mule. Tony isn't some extremist either; you won't hear any hateful shouting at his shows, and he’s never sung anything glorifying crimes. You don't see people wearing political symbols or weird props at a Tony concert. While Thompson throws money at churches, Tony focuses on actual Humanitarian Work. Besides, Thompson's crowds are mostly just uneducated rubes...

Toshet is a legend in your eyes, I guess...👍>

Man, Toshet is a legend in your book, isn't he? 👍

Well, Tony doesn't have an ear or a voice since he's passed away. I think Thompson has a vocal style that actually fits his music. Based on those vocal comparisons you're making, are all these other singers just chickens to you?

Why is there always this pressure to distance yourself from the Axis Powers and extremism?

It’s honestly nonsense. When did I ever claim to support that stuff? I never did. I don't have any connection to that kind of ideology whatsoever.

Tony is gone, so maybe you could say there weren't any chants at Tony's concerts? 😉 There aren't any at Thompson's either.

Tony never sang songs glorifying crimes, people don't wear extremist gear at Tony's shows, Thompson gives money to the church while Tony does Humanitarian Work, and Thompson's concerts just attract uneducated crowds.

They've really crossed the line over the last few months. Ever since they started airing those edited clips on CBS that misrepresent me with inaccurate reporting, the editors have been sending out provocateurs. They wear fascist symbols, give Nazi salutes, downplay our crowd sizes, and basically just thrive on targeting us. We finally decided enough is enough—we're done dealing with them.

I condemn every crime, no matter who commits it. The haters just want to create more division and twist our history. The facts are right there, and hopefully, historians can look at those facts and find the actual truth.

Look, my sources go back to 2008, and if yours are from 2005, then I guess it doesn't really matter who people end up believing. But honestly, hearing someone insist that Thompson didn't distance himself from certain things or claim he never condemned specific issues... it just really gets under my skin. ☕

Anyway, take care.

I don't really bother listening to Thompson, though I'll admit I listen to Tony a bit more often—and then there's Toshet.

1. Tony never had Axis sympathizers at his concerts. This whole thing is just a provocation. It isn't funny to mock the dead, no matter how much you might despise them.

2. He didn't quote you, so you can't claim this was aimed at you.

Now, if Axis supporters are gathering at a Thompson concert (and we all know there are some at every single one), then it’s only logical that they are gravitating toward a certain figure—an icon, so to speak. They are uniquely present at Thompson's shows. Isn't that strange?
Thompson can say a billion times over that he isn't one of them, but the crowd at his concerts speaks volumes!

But what does Thompson have to do with any of that? Why should he care about the political leanings of his audience? If he isn't contributing to it, then it's not on him. Those are private matters, I suppose.

Man, here we go again with all this arguing about Thompson and those Axis Powers sympathizers🤣 🙏🙏

Is there a taxi around here? Anyone seen one? 😂

Seriously, you guys are just wasting everyone's time...

Yeah, sure, Thompson is just an Axis Powers supporter, totally bloodthirsty
And his concert crowds? Just uneducated folks, mostly just primitive extremists...

They're honestly so pathetic and irrelevant that they aren't even worth mentioning...

There, does that make all the Thompson fans feel better now? 😕

And what are you actually going to do if you think that's true? Besides just rambling on this forum, you poor things☕

The second any Axis symbols or slogans pop up at his shows, the concerts should be shut down immediately. We need to close down the blogs, Facebook groups, and websites supporting them, and hit the admins with massive fines or jail time. Or, since prisons are already packed, maybe sentence them to a year of community service cleaning out irrigation ditches or picking up trash on the beaches...

🤣 So what are you waiting for? When are they finally going to ban him and throw him behind bars?
Or wait, are those just some vivid memories from your time at Rikers Island? 🤣🤣

It only seems to pop up at his shows... isn't that a bit suspicious?
Look, freedom of speech is one thing—let people do whatever they want—but let's be real: Tony was an incomparably better and more talented singer.
