    It is OBVIOUS that our Lord and Savior has his hands on this and it wont be stopped and CAN NOT be stopped. the world is waking up instead of just being WOKE. I am a 61 year old Jarhead and do not cry, this song and these words have me crying every time I hear it. The first time that I was introduced to this song I had to stop listening while acting like I was because I was going to cry like a baby. Now I could not care any less. months later I still tear up. Thank you for one of the best and thoughtful reactions I have heard. GOD BLESS EVERYONE😇😇😇😇🙏

      Don't mess with a crying man ( not talking about a boo-hoo-er ) I'm 56 & have this for this for I don't even remember how long . If a man is in public with tears & don't seem to mind if someone sees he's not a place to be messed with & very bad things could happen if you do .

      Careful. In your mad scramble to avert communism, your country is skidding toward fascism. Mine is too, especially here in Alberta. This song rightfully slams both sides. Consider who you are getting your info from, and who you are willing to cede authority to, and how much. Authoritarian thinking can creep in from each end of the spectrum, and it DOES matter that a target is being painted on any one given group. I want brilliant, innovative people to get rich and I want people who are in dire straits to be fed and sheltered AND I want people putting in 40 hrs. or more to live a comfortable life beyond their jobs. Inequities need to be addressed, not targets painted. There are mechanisms in each philosophy that mitigate the worst in their opposite. There are no excuses anymore to write off good ideas just "because." Too much empirical data exists on what works and what doesn't Your declaration of "Communism!" is just such a write-off -- especially in light of the fact that small "c" communism has worked in farming communities for millennia. But then, so has small "c" capitalism. Even small "f" fascism has it uses. But with this plethora of knowledge, no excuses. Listen to the song. Let it hit you. Do not let any any one group suborn it into an anthem for their cause because, frankly, some of those groups are just painting targets on things for you to do the shooting and on you to do the dying.

    I found your channel through Oliver Anthony, you have a lot of good advice on there that I'm thinking about as a guy in my 20s trying to navigate this new world. I wasn't really aware that this world was this bad until i came across this song because it's all I've known. This song made me realize that I want to eventually be a pillar for my people and not just try to make a good life for myself. Those rich men of Richmond are doing exactly the opposite to their own people.

Your reaction was spot on - one of the best I've seen (& I've watched well over 100 :). You were able to articulate the important messages within Oliver's song in which he sings truth to power. Looking forward to more of your reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over, bless & protect Oliver Anthony.

    I watched The Tribals React react to this, two Urdu laborers who had the song translated into Urdu, they were crying by the end. "This is so true"
    This one hits me pretty hard, I deliver commercial Meals On Wheels, because at 40 I decided I wasn't going to work where I wasn't helping people directly, and see the welfare abuse Daily. All the people who think it's "mythical" need to get out and DO something instead of being in the Ivory Tower they are in. The street is more real to me than the nightly news ever was.

    I found you through your reaction to 'Hi Ren'. I was glad to see you reacted to this song, because I frankly look at this song as a litmus test. Your reaction, thoughts, and gut impulses relating to this song tell me so much about you. I've shown this song to almost everyone I know to sort of gauge their reaction to it. People who are disinterested, or write this off as some kind of "far right" dogwhistle, are truly so out of touch that I think they might be beyond the pale.
    This song is an anthem, a rally, a heartcry, a rant, and a plea all at once. Masterpiece.

  • @Bhenderson0001
    @Bhenderson0001 Рік тому +2

    I put this in a few places, but it needs repeating. The powers that be are going to hate this guy for the unity he brings to the people. I hope and pray that those around him who have the power to do so protect this man as much as possible. I hope the gods, that are obviously working through this man, also protect him from the wave that is coming his way. This man needs to be protected.

    Rich men north of Richmond... besides the beautiful alliterations, he means the guys up north - the Yankee power, in the Southern sense of the word. He's from Virginia, a good ol' boy from the South. Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy, which at the time was up against the rich Yankee men. Yes, Washington DC, Boston, NYC, mainly. Nothing has changed in +160 years.
    Beautiful music, great poetry, so much meaning and emotion in so few words. As a working class person from France, I really feel what he says, especially about welfare that is given to lazy people and refused to people in need and that work hard or are willing to work hard. I was in this situation once, and was just told to make do. Which I did and managed to survive.
