TOM MORELLO: “No One From RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE Has Ever Publicly Supported A Dem Or Repub Candidate. EVER.”

Rage Towards The Machine‘s message has been misplaced over time. From claims that the band required masking and vaccinations to attend their reunion reveals (they did not) to the inference that the band was endorsing the Democrats in 2024 because of the discharge of their Democratic Nationwide Conference 2000 reside album, it has been a multitude. That and a bunch of proper wing of us on-line completely not getting the band’s message.

Now Rage Towards The Machine guitarist Tom Morello is making it clear that no person within the band has ever publicly supported a Democratic or Republican candidate. In a dialog on X, one fan stated to Morello: ““Tom. I want to personally thanks for purple pilling me along with your 1st album. On the time it utilized to Republicans. Now it applies to the dems. Let’s decentralized the facility construction.”

Morello responded, saying that Rage Towards The Machine‘s message was not pro- or anti-either celebration. Frankly, I feel we’re all going to be lifeless and gone earlier than Rage Towards The Machine‘s politics are totally understood by everybody on the Web.

“You’re welcome. However as a reminder the primary RATM file got here out in the course of the Clinton administration. Then, as now, that music critiqued a capitalist/white supremacist energy construction that was and continues to be in full impact. Presently extra so than ever. Pay attention extra intently. Like actually pay attention and it’s fairly clear.

“(Preemptive dispelling of wearying misinformation prone to flood the feedback: whereas being sharply crucial of each no good events (Clinton/Obama/Biden’s struggle crimes & subservience to Wall Avenue and Bush/Trump struggle crimes, subservience to billionaires and Wall Avenue & common idiocy) nobody from RATM has ever publicly supported a dem or repub candidate. EVER. Additionally, no RATM present has EVER required proof of vax or masks to attend, and wherever you heard both of these issues, or anybody who has echoed these issues, could be very most likely mendacity to you about an entire lotta different stuff within the service of a racist/fascist agenda).”
