I've read the lyrics and listened to the song. What are you on about? Is it not enough to merely recognize the song (and the video's setting and content!?) as racist? Are the dog whistles so lowkey that you have to make shit up?
I'm guessing Jason Aldean has never pronounced the word "ontological" or "entarte", let alone sang it. Just how smart are you saying this guy is?
Nobody is calling to exterminate anybody, because the other problem with that statement is that transgender people is not a real ontological category — it’s not a legitimate category of being,” Knowles continued. “There are people who think that they are the wrong sex, but they are mistaken. They’re laboring under a delusion. And so we need to correct that delusion.”
It looks like it was some doucher from the Daily Wire during a speech at CPAC, but it was in response to Aldean's comment of literally "eradicating transgenderism."
Idk, close enough. If it walks like a nazi and talks like a nazi, then it's probably a nazi.
you can't say that! something something the left always accuses me of being a Nazi for disagreeing with them, all I want to do is lynch N******, T*********, and F***!
did I forget anything of the new standard fascist playbook?
They're right, though. If you search for "Aldean ontological" the only result you'll get with both words is this very thread. I don't see anything fascist about correcting a factual error.
LOL, wasn't so much correcting an error as pointing out that these idiots are giving WAY too much credit to a country star.
Using big words like that would get your ass whipped in his crowd. "I don't know what that means, but it sounds woke!"
Watch the video. It will help connect the dots.
I did, and I've commented as such.

My point was that some people, somehow, don't find the despicable nature of the song/video to be BROAD enough. They gotta get their little group in on the offense.
"I'm a liberal gun owner (<-true) and I feel targeted! I'm a victim too!"
Same shit here:

Just curious, do you feel triggered by Aldean being called out because you like bigotry, or do you just have really shitty taste in music and the delusion that your favorite cuntry star must be a good person?
What in the world on you on about? Never heard his name until this shit came up. The only country I listen to is much older stuff, I have no awareness of modern country, at all.
We're talking about an in-your-face racist song, and now suddenly it's about trans folks?! The trans community is trod upon quite well enough with finding digs on them where it doesn't exist.
Sure, that's why you're hell-bent on defending him.
You're hell bent on insisting that I am. Been here 1 solid day. Have a look at my comment history. Come back and tell me I'm a racist, conservative, jack-booted thug.
Here's a starter comment, on me, enjoy:
