Dude starts off Sunday Bloody Sunday with a pompous both sides speech, proudly proclaiming “this is not a rebel song.” As far as he is concerned, The Troubles were just a spot of bad weather. No underlying causes or responsible parties. Just something meant for detached lamentation from the ivory tower. Perfect fucking liberal.
I love how the wikipedia article for it uncritically calls Bono’s “more nuanced” and sites a bunch of libs on how it fails cause it treats a MASSACRE with such hostility. Even the Wolfe Tones toned down the lyrics which is why I love Eire Og’s rendition
