So, hey, guys, it’s me, commiespammer

I think you all deserve a sort of, you know, ironic but also not ironic explanation of my political views.

Or, you know, maybe you’re just here for a funny song. I hope this is funny. It’s probably not.

Being irony poisoned is probably outdated now. But regardless— / So, I think I owe you guys a bit of an explanation

And I figured I could write a song, since I’m big on procrastination.

What are my unironic views? Have you ever wondered at all?

Am I really an ML? Am I on the left at all?

/

The truth is that I’m a centrist of sorts

I’m a communo-normie, in internet words.

Just an overton window shifted much to the left

I like basic ideals like hating wage theft.

/

Yeah, I support AES, sure, but I haven’t read much.

Maybe a few short articles like On Authority and such.

I’ve got Beyond Pink and Blue downloaded in my files

I could figure out how to open EPUBs but I’m too lazy to go the extra mile.

/

When I struggle session happens I watch from the sidelines

I’m too much of a coward to take sides, every time

What if the side I support’s really shit?

My aesthetic-leftist ego couldn’t take a bigger hit

/

Why jump into a conflict and risk being wrong?

When I could pretend like I supported the winners all along?

A centrist point of view may be infuriating to some

But I’ll just go deeper into my irony-shell to ignore what I’ve become

/

I’m not oppressed at all, I’m privileged as a leech

I’m drowning out actual concerns with my indifferent speech

I’m a self-deprecating irony poisoned piece of shit

And I’m too removed to do self crit

/

(Except as sarcastic, vaguely written slop)

/

So, have your views on me changed?

Do you now think that I’m insane?

I hate how I lack humility

Just a communo-normie🎵

/

Ha ha, I’d better log off for a few days and read a book or something!
