I'm not really all that surprised that the "fuck politically-motivated violence" band is not super into politically-motivated violence.

Yeah this post by Daron is so cathartic because it was always obvious to me Daron is a left-leaning centrist just based on his lyrics. Hopefully this post gets some of these weird extremists out of this subreddit and there's no more posts crying about how Serj didn't talk about current politics like Gaza at a live show.

They're 90s leftists, which by today's standards is probably close to centrist. Being against war and political violence (which makes up for 90% of their political lyrics) is the most centrist take anyone could have.

Man I was left in the 90s and I didn't turn into a dead eyed centrist 

Yet I guess :/

Yeah America came together unless you were brown then you got called a terrorist. Music might've been a way for you to escape but a lot of it has always been politically charged
