    Let’s ask your leftist sheep, er, um, “adherents” isn’t this just an extension of colonialism? Was this poor boy somehow forced to adopt Christocentric, colonialist, white male patriarchalist music that merely serves to perpetuate racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, sexism, transphobia, entophobia, marxophobia, globalwarmingophobia, blah, blah, blah, keep vomiting up more mindless slogans like a good little leftist sheep…
