As a 75 year old Grandma, not sure this is music. Maybe this is the Zombie apocalypse my grandkids talk about. But I love you and your opinions anyway. Rock on🤷♀️ I listened again to the words and I guess mind control is the latest government thing. Like social justice, government control is in the way each individual perceives it. Some people need to be taken care of and others stand on their own. In my mind the only social justice is for children in bad situations (and I don’t mean poor, you can be happy, loved and poor at the same time),it is also for 16 to 66 year olds who have real mental incapacities (and even they can live fulfilling lives with the right help), and finally the elderly with cognitive and health problems. I took care my dementia riddled father in law and that can be pretty scary. I can’t imagine being lucid one moment and lost the next. I think that is why many elderly people are angry and confused. As for government control that is all bullshit and as constituents we only have ourselves to blame. We are the government and like anything else in life we have to put in the work. Electing people who promised us stuff is lazy. We need to vet thoroughly and elect representatives that believe in individualism and the American pride not free stuff.
I’ve never understood how the left feel Trump controlled everything when literally every media/tech/fed organization gaslighted, suppressed, or planted lies about him. I think the Muse biographer might be wishful thinking it was Trump. Or maybe put out that idea because the song easily lends itself to both sides at this point. However, imagine if a Conservative singer had the lyrics: I’ll shoot you before you take aim….the left would be melting down! I’m sticking with my Country guys: Hardy and Morgan Wallen, but appreciate your Muse post.
I really wonder if this is a message for the "woke" politicians. They think they are the masters of puppets. Then when they think they are in charge with power, the real puppet master comes, masks them and puts them on a control string. Are they saying there is always a puppet master as long as you listen externally for direction? You can never win. The only way out of being a puppet is to listen within and think for yourself. OK, I probably went too far with this. Grin! Seriously though, those red and black colors are MK Ultra mind control trigger colors. The music industry is filled with MK Ultra mind controlled puppets. This could be a serious signal to their posse members to wake them up to they are only puppets. Just Musing now.
I'm a big Muse fan, sadly haven't listened much in awhile, may need to binge some videos lol...
My interpretation is a bit different. Looking at his eyes etc in the beginning it almost seems like the old guy has a mask on, or at least suffering from some sort of madness, perhaps drunk on the power he gets by controlling the people. At the climax though I think the people are pushing back through the system/ apparatus/ mind control/ whatever you want to call it. The people make motions like they are blocking, and through the strobe lights the old guy is clawing at his face like something is happening he can't control, then he has a similar mask as the people, I think because they have taken over the leader. Ultimately their power together was greater.
McConnell was the last warning. You'll really, really wish you'd shut up and just bought a nice condo in Dubai this winter when the Greenberg charges drop. It will all become much less fun.
Interesting take. I highly recommend you check out Billy Talent's new album as I believe their is an strong anti-authoritarian theme. "You can't buy dinner with a victim card." Great album for 2022.

Wake to see your true emancipation is a fantasy…
I always thought supremacy would be the best campaign song. Fall out Boy and Muse, good taste Raheem:)
The lead singer of Muse is openly a fan of Alex Jones and has been a guest. So... yeah... this isn't difficult to figure out at all

Raheem, how do you have the patience to engage with Dean Blundell. He's insufferable.
It’s not the irony bands like this miss. It’s simply the in your face hubris of those they celebrate.
“Yea, we did it. Whattya gonna do about it?”
Uprising is one of their older songs.

Hey Raheem,
Good material here for anti-State strategizing:
