One of my favorite rush songs and a very true one at that

P apt title. Everyone wants to argue over if this song means anything in specific but frankly it can be applied to most scenarios that include power dynamics.

It's obviously a heavy handed metaphor from the Ayn Rand worshipping drummer though he claims he just wrote a song based on what would it be like if trees behaved the way humans did. They're both equally valid. Only pretentious hipster twats use phrases like "heavy-handed metaphor" anyway. I like rush even more now that irony and cynicism have failed us so hard. Rush made positive, introspective music and never did drugs or screwed tons of women. They're a band /pol/ should get behind imo

You can argue that, but it also relates to the Bolsheviks and even BLM shit can be compared to it. That's why I think this dudes thread title is apt. This argument is inevitable when theres a power dynamics between 2 groups.
