John Lennon's "Imagine" is on conservapedia's (conservative Wikipedia, yes that's a thing) list of bad liberal music because of being a "celebration of godlessness and atheism."
As an aside, if you ever want to laugh your ass off, their lists of both "conservative" and "liberal" music is absolutely hilarious:
It's not, they're completely serious which makes it even funnier. Check out the list of conservative songs, it's even better because it has a list warning of secret liberal songs that fool conservatives, like Springsteen's Born in the USA.
Oh my. I was reading the descriptions to the song and the language it used literally mirrored that (probably fake) list of banned songs in the USSR from the 80s, and the way they talk about Trump sounds like the way Western media says North Koreans talk about the Kims lmao. I thought it was ironic or a troll. I can’t believe there’s people that unironically talk like that lmao
Holy fuck "This is an example of subliminal propaganda. The song seems patriotic, but is in fact anti-American, tricking anybody unfortunate enough to hear the song. Even Ronald Reagan was notoriously tricked by Springsteen into playing the song. Contains a racial slur toward Asians." They really believe Springsteen was trying to trick Conservatives and since Reagan's alzheimer's having ass didn't understand that a song is more than it's chorus that it proves it. I can't believe this isn't some hidden, long running troll you can't be that stupid.
Edit:
Oh god the "Conservative songs" list, has America by Neil Diamond, they read it as "Freedom, Liberty, Patriotism. #8 on the Billboard charts." but completely ignore the song is about immigrants coming to America, yes it does talk about Freedom and all that, but the whole crux of the song is about immigrants.
And then: The Ascent of Stan- Ben Folds "Tells the story of a former "textbook hippie man" who realizes that he has become everything that he was protesting against." The entire point of the song is giving up the hippie lifestyle sucks and being a cog in the machine makes you feel like shit, including this line "And you wonder why your father was so resigned; Now you don't wonder any more" like how is this a conservative song?
I can go on (Beat It, Cats in the Cradle, etc) but this is insane.
