They always were, I'm just mad at myself that it took someone pointing out 20 years ago "they're anti-capitalist yet getting rich off of the biggest record label, they're not donating all of that money after all" for me to realize it. While I still enjoy some of the individual songs from the first album fuck the guys behind the music and they'd never get another dime from me however I can detach the message from the one who said it if there's still a valid meaning in there even if the context was wrong.
Oh, no argument there. The irony of the juxtaposition of their viewpoints and the fact that they were signed to a huge record label wasn't lost on me during their initial bump in popularity back in the '90s, and it still holds true today. It just slays me that they've been able to pull the wool over the eyes of their fanbase for as long as they have. I guess there's never an end to the number of college students that are bent out of shape with the way the world works, courtesy of the indoctrination of their liberal arts professors.
