Its a bad song and I don't want to listen to it to get all the lyrics. [0]

>Pandemic ain't real, they just planned it, ayy, ayy (They just planned it)

>Biden said the jab stop the spread, it was lies (I remember)

That is all I can see as far as "medical information" goes. What a joke. This song is bad, it would have fallen off the charts if they just let things go.

All they had to do was sit tight, leave it alone and let it be forgotten. Countless others and I would never have seen it. Thanks to Google's censorship, people will now know about this song.

Yeah they're about to feel the full Streisand Effect.

You don't have to listen to the song. You don't get to tell others what they can or cannot listen too.

I should have worded my post better. I dont want to listen to the song (again) to find out exactly what was said.

After the reading the news article in full, I found the video and watched it once in full. After that, I searched and found the lyrics to the video. I'm over explaining, but I'm rate limited.

I dont see much that would support the reason YouTube gave for banning it.

FWIW, I am against censorship.

Check this song out, it gives practical advice for carrying out burglaries. People have screamed and kicked but YouTube won't remove the song.

>Biden said the jab stop the spread, it was lies (I remember)

Thing is, if I remember rightly Biden did spread outright misinformation that falsely claimed the vaccine was a lot more effective than it actually is using his platform as president, and got checked on it by the BBC (though maybe not the mainstream US media)...

Re:YouTube deletes rapper's 'Let's Go Brandon' song claiming... by loonster on Saturday October 23, 2021 @06:18PM (#28972924)
I also remember during the debates Trump was talking up the vaccine and Bidens says something like "And who is going to take it?"

It was rather cool to be anti vaccine 1 year ago. Now its verboten.

Boy am I tired of partisan politics.
Re:YouTube deletes rapper's 'Let's Go Brandon' song claiming... by loonster on Saturday October 23, 2021 @09:01PM (#28973909)
Amen. I just wish that all politicians would remain more consistent in their views, or at the very least admit that they previously said the opposite but have since changed their mind.

I do not intend for this post to be anti Biden. Trump is also a hypocrite, just not on his pro covid vaccine stance.

I have some interest in politics, and I've decided that I'll be open about public vs personal views. For example:

"I personally believe X, but my constituents overwhelmingly support Y, so I will be voting for Y."

Re:YouTube deletes rapper's 'Let's Go Brandon' song claiming... by GauntletWizard on Sunday October 24, 2021 @04:45PM (#28981734)
You should also be open about when you choose to disagree - "I know my constituents believe Y, and I see their arguments. I have spent much time evaluating it and assigned some of my best staff to make arguments for and against, and will be voting X."
Re:YouTube deletes rapper's 'Let's Go Brandon' song claiming... by rpmisms on Monday October 25, 2021 @12:00AM (#28984394)
Agree. At least being honest about it is worth more than any measure of optics.

anyone who thinks this is planned can never have been involved in any form of government

I see this argument a lot. The counter-argument is surely that not everybody involved in malfaescence / corruption / conpsiracy has to be in on it [1]

Right? We (the US) have enough trouble planning meaningful infrastructure in our communities, let alone a global conspiracy in order to bring about some new world order, apparently coordinated with every other world government.

But, I’ve heard the “planned” argument levied against the CCP, and that it was a bio weapon, and this was a planned release. That argument, while still far fetched, is at least in the realm of possibility for me.

Given that their ai have spotted this that is actually quite good. But yes it is a joke.
