I feel like we'd agree on a lot politically but... I gotta say, this is the most baffling reason I've ever seen for someone disliking that song
Like... I understand it's not gonna be for everyone, but it's a very old folk song about people coming together and hoping for better days ahead. There's nothing about glorifying "hard times" or anything like that. It's been sung by people like Scott Ainsley and Mavis Staples for a reason.
I understand not liking the song, but I am genuinely confused by the reasoning here
