    I remember his classic songs “This Land is Privately Owned Land”, “Dust Bowl Refugee (Who Should Get a Job)” and “Which Side Are You On? Both Sides Had Good People in Them”

      I generally do. But the disingenuous propagandist posting this edited image I always down vote. So neutral is best I got.

      Oooh I hit their fragile nerves!

      The image macro is especially ironic considering the way it’s been edited and who it’s targeted at. Generally going against Guthrie’s own message and wishes. Do any of you know how his machine killed fascists? He didn’t remove the guitar strings to garotte them. I’ll tell you that much.

          The one where we win by making allies and fighting together? Yes. It’s so much easier to behave childish and alienate everyone while getting nothing accomplished. Actually working to help people is a nice fantasy.
