I really don't care how Oliver Anthony's song became viral...was it pushed through some algorithm? through some right wing pundits? why does it bother people that someone knew how to market it? It absolutely struck a chord with people around the world. It doesn't matter if you're left-right-center-none of them, there is something to the words and the authenticity of this young man's voice. I love that Robert Kennedy Jr. has met with him and that they are partnering to make this world a better place for many suffering people.

Has he been asked about it directly? I didn't catch the Joe Rogan episode. It seems like Kennedy met with him soon after listening to the song but didn't want to publicize it. Anthony's song is pretty much about the corrupt merger of state and corporate power strip mining the working people. It immediately occurred to me these two would get along.

Agree with you completely that they seem very like-minded! I did not hear Oliver Anthony mention the Healing Centers during the Joe Rogan interview. I was only hoping our commenter BF would get a chance to listen to the JRE Oliver Anthony episode to reassure himself that Oliver Anthony is genuine and has a very authentic persona--no matter who took it upon themselves to catapult him to stardom :-)

Hope you get a chance to listen to Oliver Anthony's interview on the Joe Rogan Experience...the guy is definitely authentic. Not sure if you're arguing that authenticity only comes from NOT being "discovered," "marketed," or otherwise put into the spotlight? Maybe I'll just thank whoever did this (horrible?) act of marketing his song, because the world needed it right now.

This interview conducted by Jordan Peterson is very strong: "The real deal", imo.

How is it inauthentic? No piece of art comes to the attention of the broader world without some assistance from people who see value in it and promote it. Just because someone you don't like assisted Oliver Anthony in getting this song out, and he's been singing about topics like this for a long time, it doesn't devalue it at all.

Bongino is more than just "someone I don't like".... if you don't understand what association with him means maybe you need to go down a rabbit hole and do some research tonight

You’re dissing a real patriot and there is no credible reason to dislike Dan Bongino unless you are a leftist asshole. Go down the rabbit hole yourself and stay there.

I'm right wing and if you think Secret Service are "real patriots" then you're too much of a government loving leftist to understand a serious right wing perspective.

I just read your profile. I hate to bring it to you but conservatives are centrists, not right wing. You're definitely further to the left than me.

Seriously? Because you're dim witted mind finds a bogey man or bogey men you think the world has to follow you in that delusion?
