    These guys seem to be MAGA-adjacent and lyrically the song is obviously about those astroturfed convoy protests. https://www.metalsucks.net/2023/09/27/war-curses-latest-single-the-convoy-is-a-driving-piece-of-heavy-metal/

    “A number of prominent tyrants surfaced during the pandemic. Power hungry, seething scumbags who allowed their true colors to show. Very few private citizens had the will or the means to stand up to them. ‘The Convoy’ is a modern day battle hymn written for the people who risked their livelihood and reputations for our individual liberties. May every power drunk dictator one day find themselves at the end of a short rope.”

    This made me cringe. “Very few private citizens” = gullible idiots lead by political grifters and alt-righters.

      All things in nature that are successful usually strive to maintain the balance. Failure to maintain a balance can cause catastrophic failure for sure.
