    Wait till they see the latest Gen V episode. They exploded a goat named Elon Musk. The goat was deliberately named like that, so that nobody cares if it dies.

    The organizers behind Riot Fest said it the best, really:

    “Like I know this is a rage bait engagement farming twitter account, but ‘GWAR crossed a major line’ is one of the funniest fucking things I’ve ever heard.”

      … these are the people who think the ‘Machine’ that Rage Against the Machine is raging against…

      … is the liberal mainstream media.

      We are talking about people with negative amounts of media literacy… as well as very low levels of actual literacy.

    I bet people who know exactly who and what GWAR is, decided to do this as a promotion for GWAR, its just way too obvious. GWAR has been on fox news, its well known they do this, and the fact that the outrage was over musk and not trump goes to show whoever started it knew there would be a response pointing out they’ve done it to ALL the former presidents. It just seems so unlikely that anyone would see a gwar show and think “if only more people saw* this, they’d be canceled”, there’s just no way.

    They’ve been killing musk since at least may of this year so even that isn’t new. Honestly after this I kind of hope they do make one of Charlie Kirk just to keep the rage going, but honestly I don’t think kirk was that well known until after he lost his last debate.

      Not sure libs of TikTok would be doing a promotion for GWAR. Maybe others started it and they picked it up.

      Never ever underestimate the stupidity and the bubble. They don’t care about facts or truth. They won’t care that they’ve done this multiple times before, that it’s a decades long tradition for them, none of it matters.

      They’re looking for a reason to persecute the left, this is ammunition to convince the voters that it’s okay to do so, and they’ll try to make it happen. Maybe they’ll overreach like they did with Kimmel, maybe not, but don’t try to use logic with these people.

        I’ve stayed at that hotel before. I’m sad to say my room didn’t have that kind of cool ass art. I did eat at the GWARbar though, so I still got some good GWAR memories in on my trip.

      Yeah they’re doing the same thing they’ve done for decades lmao the right just needs anger and outrage to let them get away with crimes against humanity and highlighting this at this exact moment in time, while they’re pushing the narrative that the left are hyper violent extremists, might strengthen that view among the idiots
