It doesn’t make you look like a moron, it makes you look like a nuanced human being who is allowed to have opinions without being dismissed as a moron.

Maybe. But if I didn’t trust or like the government (which I don’t in the least), I sure as hell wouldn’t want their help in supporting my family.

And speaking of privilege: I won’t even get into how if all three ladies in this documentary were black (or not white in general), they’d be called all sorts of “welfare queens” and everything else but the child of God and would not nearly get as much support for doing this sort of thing.

No. But biting the hand that feeds you makes you look like a moron.

I don’t think being on welfare means that you’re forbidden to criticise the government or engage in political philosophy.

otoh, oftentimes the government is instrumental in perpetuating the kind of bullshit that leads some people to need welfare in the first place.

(the US gov’t: fucking people over and reinforcing inequality while having the nerve to shame anyone who needs help and isn’t privileged enough to have wealthy family/friends to provide for them. smh.)

Yeah, it is a contradiction. You’re against the government, but have the nerve to live off of it. *smh*

I love things like this, that involve going back.

I actually only watched three episodes of this (I found it kind of dull) so maybe I’m being too quick to judge.

Isn’t it kind of strange to write an anti-government song and be on welfare?

Maybe I’m not punk enough to get it.

I mostly watched this because I went to school at the University of Florida so I wanted to see what it was like in the ’90s. The only thing I know about UF in the ’90s is the serial killer Danny Rollins. I was attending school when he was executed and everyone was fascinated by the story.
