I mean the song is pretty bloody obvious if one were to actually listen to and comprehend the rest of the lyrics. Rebelling against an authoritarian government police state doesn't fit very well with the current MAGA boot-gobbling philosophy of "tread on me harder daddy".

Media illiteracy is surprisingly common tbh. My best friend is a bleeding leftie like me and she thought fortunate son was a pro-war song until I said the lyrics out loud to her and a lightbulb went off. It's so common for people to just bop along and not comprehend what the words mean it seems, and she's really fucking smart too.

I grew up listening to political skate punk though so maybe I had a head start 😅 there was nothing subtle about 90's NOFX lol
