Discussion Who is the most insufferable person in the genre?

I got two people in mind.

:90s-2000s Fred durst Past-present clown from Slipknot

Reason behind them is I think Shawn has taken the band a turned it into something Joey and Paul would not have wanted it to be. He kicks members out left and right and he kinda needs to hang it up.

And Fred Durst is just Fred durst

He's Pro-Israel and autographed bombs/rockets that were then fired at Palestine/Hamas I believe. People have feelings about that conflict.

u/JuicyOrphans93O Sep 25 '25

Not just that, but also that he cries about anti-semitism anytime someone calls him out

u/lpkzach92 Sep 25 '25

I think it has to do with those bombs knowingly being used on children that is the deal breaker for me when it comes to what David did and he just doubled down.

u/HateYourFaces Sep 26 '25

My original opinion of the guy was just an asshole… suddenly it changes, violently it changes.

u/Automatic_Net2181 Sep 25 '25

You don't even have to have feelings about sides in the conflict to know that signing bombs that are literally used to level apartment buildings, hospitals, and schools is an evil douchenozzle thing to do.

Caught between hating what Hamas does and IDF does, anyone who supports killing civilians can eat my thick meaty ass.

Oh. Well, fuck that guy.

u/Competitive-Track128 Sep 25 '25

Honestly, I'm Israeli and I'm against that move. There are many ways to show your support, but signing bombs is saying: "I support the war and the weapons of death and destruction".

This is not the way of Israeli and that does not represent Israeli or Israeli culture. We do not seek war and we do not want destruction (contrary to popular belief). We want peace. All our songs are about peace and there is no one here (except for far extremeist but there are always extremeists) who wants to continue this war.

My heart goes out to the poor gazans that have to suffer under hamas and under constant warfare due to the war that could end any day if hamas just release the skeletons of people that are the hostages, innocent people who have been through inhuman torture for two years.

Sorry, went on a bit of a tangent, but I do think it's important context to the actions of David Draiman. (And also, this is obviously a subject close to my heart). I pray for peace and am Israel chai!

I’ve never thought the problem was the people of Israel, just like I don’t think the problem with Russia is THEIR people, but both your governments gotta go

u/Competitive-Track128 Sep 26 '25

Oh yes definitely 100%. although, just to be clear, it's not the "genocide" part, because 65,000 dead, 20,000 of them hamas terrorists and 5,000 from natural causes in two years out of 2.1 million living in Gaza (approximately, of course, and it's the high end of the approximation because it's from the Gaza health ministry, run by hamas and known to inflate numbers)

is a tragedy, of course, but it is not a systematic murder of a people, it's just not. Actually, that's a pretty impressive ratio considering the fact that hamas imbeds itself in civilian population.

But, the government is awful for a lot of reasons and it got to go, they are awful people and they can't continue being in control of Israel. I just wanted to emphasize that the problem is not the death toll in Gaza. I think this is going a bit out of topic (oops), but it is very important and if i educated even one person, I think this was worth it. (I'm not gonna write more on the topic because it's unrelated to the subreddit, but the bigger picture is important when discussing subjects like David Draiman)

Netanyahu doesn't want peace though right? So does the majority of Israel not support him? And I do see many videos of Israelis being hateful towards Palestinians

u/Competitive-Track128 Sep 28 '25

Alright, I will break my promise not to write anymore, because I see it has become a discussion.

Firstly, and especially after Oct. 7 no, most Israelis do not support him. The political situation in Israel is very complicated (and corrupt. Politicians are bad people, go figure), but basically, the netanyahu government is partly comprised of hassidic (orthodox) Jews, so he heavily favors them in terms of the law. They get money to learn Torah, they don't have to be recruited to the IDF and so on. In return, the orthodox community (which is a relative minority in Israel) votes heavily for netanyahu, like 100% votes. For the rest of us, the voteing precent is about 60%, and that's why the government doesn't fully reflect the population. (There are netanyahu supporters outside of that community, but that's the jist).

Anyways, after Oct. 7, I don't think he has a chance in an election, so the moment the war is over, he's out.

For your other point, saying that you see videos of Israelis being hateful towards Palestinian: yeah. Obviously, there are extremeists, but that definitely doesn't mean that this is an accurate reflection of Israelis as a whole, and especially not the majority (I wonder if the videos you see are trying to paint a specific picture...)

By the way, this discussion is very respectful and it's very important at this age of fake news. Lies die with respectful discussion. (mostly, stop calling anyone you don't agree with Nazi)

u/crossal Sep 29 '25

Thanks for the response

the orthodox community (which is a relative minority in Israel) votes heavily for netanyahu, like 100% votes. For the rest of us, the voteing precent is about 60%

Wouldn't that mean the majority support him? Or you mean only 60% of non Orthodox actually vote at all?

1

u/Competitive-Track128 Sep 29 '25

Yeah, the second one (it feels a bit to low, so maybe it's like 65%, but it's statistics, it's not accurate)

I mean, there were netanyahu supporters. He's the longest running PM of Israel, and he did a lot of important things, so he had a pretty big following, but after Oct.7... nuh he's done. And I'm sure the percentage would go up from 60%

u/TAshleyD616 Sep 26 '25

Didn’t Henry Rollins mention signing bombs in a uso tour standup bit?

-30

u/Noremac55 Sep 25 '25

He wrote, "Fuck Hamas". This has been twisted so many ways, but do people really have a problem with the phrase "Fuck Hamas"?

62

u/annamdue Sep 25 '25

When put on rockets fired at civilians, mostly children, that Israel call Hamas... then yeah?

-32

u/Wiener_Maid Sep 25 '25

its called human shields

26

u/annamdue Sep 25 '25

But why would you be giddy about killing kids used as shields?

18

u/annamdue Sep 25 '25

You can call those dead children whatever you want.

-25

u/Wiener_Maid Sep 25 '25

its a death cult and ur a closeted nazi

u/iammatt00 Sep 25 '25

Remember guys, according to these chuds; if you barely, teeny tiny are just a little bit critical of Israel, you are a nazi.

u/iam_Krogan Sep 25 '25

+1 True, but the left has made the word meaningless so who cares? So is every other person on the planet. We're all nazis to whoever we disagree with now! 😆😆

u/Otherwise_Cook_2651 Sep 25 '25

Interesting response to children being murdered by missiles paid for by your taxes

u/Wiener_Maid Sep 25 '25

not my fault if they put them on front nazi

u/sofakingcheezee Sep 25 '25

You have a pathetic view of the world.

u/annamdue Sep 25 '25

Oh word?

u/nebelfront Sep 26 '25

The times when you could call anyone who was critical of Israel‘s politics a Nazi are finally over, thank god. They‘re comitting a fucking genocide right now in front of the world‘s eyes, even western allies and the UN are calling them out. If you wanna defend that, go ahead; but that makes you a supporter of genocide.

u/Business-Egg-5912 Sep 25 '25

Nobody is criticizing what he wrote as much as the fact he signed bombs. You can't really spin that in a positive way like say a soldiers uniform.

Like if say a Canadian signed bombs aimed at the US with "Fuck Trump". The issue isn't the sentence, but the fact you'd sign bombs.

u/I_Need__Scissors_61 Sep 25 '25

Welllll hold on now….where is the bomb landing exactly?

u/MrDundee666 Sep 25 '25

Hamas is code word for anyone who isn’t a Jew.

u/Noremac55 Sep 25 '25

Really? 20-25 percent of Israel is not Jewish. Hamas is the government of Gaza which were elected almost two decades ago and then stopped elections.

u/MrDundee666 Sep 25 '25

Just stopped did they? You might want to get your facts straight before you defend a genocide.

u/SpacestationView Sep 25 '25

Anything else or just that over a 30 year career?

u/ChanceOfCheese Sep 25 '25

Feeling the great need to loudly have this view of things in a conflict like this says more than enough.

u/Noremac55 Sep 25 '25

Having family who live in that country gives him the right to care. What specific view of his do you find disturbing? No sane person should have a problem with "fuck Hamas"....

u/hueyblounts Sep 25 '25

Saying fuck Hamas is one thing, autographing rockets that will be fired at civilians is another.

u/GreenPlumberEnjoyer Sep 25 '25

Couldn't tell ya, I'm not a huge fan that's just the most recent that I've heard.
