      I suspect a large overlap with people complaining about RATM suddenly turning woke or playing ‘We’re not gonna take it’ at rallies without ever having seen a band pic of Twisted Sister.

      I love the song, but I always thought the “This in not a love song!” part was not necessary. We get it! Don’t need to spell it out like that.

      Then I saw (on shitamericanssay) someone write a wall of text explaining how despite that part it is still a love song to the USA. So yeah. Apparently the part is not only necessary but also not explicit enough.

        As a joke, I once asked an LLM to produce a review of Top Gun that argued that it was actually a trans allegory. It made terrible arguments but it did produce words that technically met that requirement. (It included some kind of hilarious lines about the satirical use of hypermasculinity)

        I imagine an argument that “Amerika is a love song” would look similar.
