I have learned that this song is a year old, but the video is new! :) I'm still learning a lot about Tom MacDonald and ya'll's comments always help! Thank you for watching!
I don't think it came off as angry so much as frustrated with the state of the world and Country we're living in. ❤HOG ❤ The internet used to be neutral and informative. Then they learned how to manipulate an algorithm and used it for persuasive purposes. From that point, the informative side was gone or hard to get to.
"The Machine" and "The System" are variations of the same unvarnished truths, with them told from different perspectives. In "The System", Tom plays the role of the system in control of the masses. In "The Machine", he plays the role of those of us who see the purposeful divisiveness of the system as a tool to keel the masses from realizing who's actually using and abusing them. Though the genre of music he uses is different, he's very much like Pink Floyd in how they used a lot of their music to theme-address the same topics that Tom addresses. Compare the themes of his songs to the themes covered in Pink Floyd's albums "The Wall" and "The Final Cut", and you can see parallels about the social-commentary that's presented - indictments of public education used as indoctrination to aid in governmental subjugation of people, and misuse of the military to fight for profits in the name of "freedom". Tom tosses in a new variation of indoctrination that wasn't prevalent when Pink Floyd created their albums: the system using media-content and internet censorship to control narratives. Whenever I watch and listen to Tom in his music-videos, a part of my mind remembers the lyrics of "Tom Sawyer" by Rush. Key lines that come to mind: "A modern-day warrior Mean, mean stride Today's Tom Sawyer Mean, mean pride" [along with the lines...] No, his mind is not for rent To any god or government Always hopeful, yet discontent He knows changes aren't permanent Tom is an incredible poet-warrior who uses his words like a reality-sword to slice through the delusions that the elite-controlled system indoctrinates us to accept. As he says in this song, he's not allied with either of the extremes on the right or the left. He examines everything with critical-thinking and self-creates his own independent positions and beliefs, much like he operates as an independent music-artist who keeps himself isolated and apart from the music-industry. I think that the thing I like most about Tom's music is his amusing yet effective use of sarcasm. If Batman and the Joker had a baby, his name would be Tom MacDonald.
Recommend his "The System", "Fake Woke" or "Sheeple" if ya wanna hear more from Toms political side! Gotta admit hes correct on most things nowadays especially!!!
no minding the pausing, most of tom's songs tend to tease the brain to get you to think. as a Reviewer, you are giving us your reaction to the song and your thoughts. as someone who has been watching and bearing witness to some events in the world. i feel it is sad that just because a person has a slightly different view they are a bad person, one of the worst. groups are definitely controlling the information flow and rewriting things to their narrative.
Tom is a lyrical genius you should check out all of his, another independent artist who you need to check out isBuddy Brown check out his songs looters, too true for radio, and don't run from the cops
I did not conclude Tom looked angry at all. I sense that he is deeply concerned and passionate about the direction the world is going in. He sees freedoms and individual liberties being attacked and thinks the people need to unite and collaborate to fight against the system that wants to control and enslave the population in order to gain power and wealth for the ones that currently have the power.
@@flowersafterrainfall You were responding quickly in your reaction. You do much better than I ever do when I respond spontaneously like you were. I appreciate your reactions and love thinkers who offer substance like you.
You're very young. When the internet first came out it was the new encyclopedia, I was even allowed to go on the internet until I completed a full typing course bc my dad would give me subjects to study and I had to type a report on it. That was on top of my indoctrination homework
Question, you are on the internet with this video. Are we to conclude from your comments that you are part of the playground where we should not seek truth or are you being sincere and giving us facts as you see them? People used to buy encyclopedias to learn of truth, no one buys them anymore because of what you can find on the internet. You cannot trust just one source to learn of facts but you can study all sides of an issue from many sources to get closer to truth.
you can conclude anything you want, I'm here to listen to music, rattle off some thoughts it made me have, and share the music with people who may have never heard it before, not tell you how to think.
@@flowersafterrainfall Your response to my post to you was bizarre? I drew no conclusions and did not perceive you attempting to tell anyone how to think. I was simply asking you a question as your words were unclear to me. I will not ask you more questions as it is clear you do not want to think about or communicate to someone who has questions about what you perceive. Take care! I enjoyed your reaction to Tom.
You may find others within #HOG that are as intolerant of your beliefs, but not here. Even if you have an opinion that differs from Tom, I will never hold it against you. The freedom of ideas is why the 1st amendment exists. If you have a convincing argument in any manner I welcome it. There may be perspectives that I have not been exposed to. Myself I am a Libertarian and while I may agree 82 - 92% of the time with Tom, there is obviously some difference. I love the guy as human being for things outside of the political realm. He is genuine in his personality in person as much as he appears to be, if you ever get to meet him. Embrace your haters, stand for what you believe in, but also have an open mind. Bon chance, et viva la liberty.

Tom released this song on his album Renegade in 2022, he just made the video and is releasing as a single for the first time.
Hats off to Nova, what a great job on the video, the lighting was awesome ❤❤❤❤❤....

Tom macdonald speaking truth 🇺🇸 👏 🙌 💯 👌 ❤️
This song is from his album Renegade. It's a year old.
I'll listen to you from beginning to end regardless of the video length!

He speaks FACTS
#hangovergang forever 🤙🏽
I didn't catch any anger from Tom but if there was anger it is well justified seeing what is happening to our country.

Whenever I watch and listen to Tom in his music-videos, a part of my mind remembers the lyrics of "Tom Sawyer" by Rush. Key lines that come to mind:
"A modern-day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride"
[along with the lines...]
No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent

Pure facts !! #HOG
Your talking is so calming :)
the internet was created as what was called BBS boards were scientists could communicate with each other it was created for learning
miss your Tom reactions!
New sub. HOG🤘🏻🇺🇸
Speaking the truth should never be controversial.
He will always be Tomald MacDonald to me now 😂
don't credit me on that one. I heard another reactor call him that once and it just kinda stuck with me lol idr who it was though
Recommend his "The System", "Fake Woke" or "Sheeple" if ya wanna hear more from Toms political side!
Gotta admit hes correct on most things nowadays especially!!!
i've reacted to "the system" and "fake woke" so far. I'll put "sheeple" on the list
You call them opinions! I would have to say most all of it is facts! Thats the sad and scary truth!!
Facts, I don't see how people can see it any other way, unless you're delusional
💯

Nothing controversial here. Just the truth.
not opinion just truth
