An excellent take-down of the song’s philosophical underpinnings.

I disagree with the author’s skepticism about how this went viral though. As other commenters have indicated, it feels like the release was a little too well coordinated for some random YouTuber.

    Total astroturfing.

    The right wingers all have daily emails and faxes of talking points, memes, videos, posts, and whatever the outrage of the day is, and they share the shit in unison. That's their MO.

    The memo went out: "co-tweet links to this song." Suddenly it was everywhere.

    Then they pretend is not astroturfed.
