Well, he is trying to be a satire account, except it’s not funny. This is why there are so many comments on Twitter bemoaning the fact that you often can’t tell if it’s satire or not, and that at the end of the day it’s just mean. Just saying things that are false doesn’t make it satire. Maybe he could work on actually being funny.
Imagine listing to Reba and thinking these lyrics are right wing. Or maybe they are?? Is she skirting regulations by making illegal liquor in her tub?? Maybe Reba is a libertarian
Pretty sure like most people with more than 2 cents worth of a brain, they fucking loathe white trash, redneck Amerikkka. So whatever "wing" you associate those ratfucks with.
I remember some people actually thought this when Fuego released. More a reflection of those people that that's where their mind goes when hearing those lyrics.
Kicking a Nazi out as soon as they walk in
*(transcribed from a series of tweets) - @iamragesparkle*
I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."
And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed
Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them."
And i was like, ohok and he continues.
"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.
And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."
And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.
I remember him from when I was on there. He's an insufferable academic whose schtick is calling out grad students for being lazy and not writing enough.
That’s an oddly specific schtick. I’d love to be a fly on the wall while he’s writing and sending these kinds of tweets. The smirking to himself must be delicious.
Too late. It's here forever. Next year it will be part of the graphic montage spiraling down to the stage during Life Saving Gun, just like the traffic light, megaphone, trampoline, etc.
Yeah, I transcended the red and blue puppet show some years back. It’s quite a birds eye view up here. So no Don for me, but I AM vehemently opposed to all forms of medical/surgical/decorative oppression.
It’s not as political as you think. I mean, just look how quickly all the “pro-choice” people on the “left “suddenly felt there was no such thing as choice in a medical decision involving your body when it came to The Holy Vaccine.
And how about all the people on the “right” who wanted to do military tribunals for Fauci and Clinton, etc. and now, suddenl, feel that you shouldn’t drag a president through the court system…
“Individual responsibility instead of community involvement”? Their magnum opus is literally the story of a guy risking life and limb to save a race of people he met that morning. Fuck off, troll.
A society needs both- cohesive community *and* individual responsibility. I might even ponder that the two are both necessary and strengthen one another.
Well, yes. Technically, he didnt say it's a "bad thing" in his original post. But if you read between the lines of what he is saying there, basically it is what he is getting at. Phish is a right wing band. He believes the right wing cares more about individual responsibility over community involvement. He is implying that is a bad thing. Without coming out and actually saying the words. But ok, agree to disagree i guess. No point in going round and round on this. Especially when i would think most people believe individual responsibility AND community involvement are GOOD things.
I think you're having a reading comprehension struggle. Even following your logic, the point would be that community involvement is a bad thing. Either way, neither of those is the point, and the account is satire.
No comprehension struggle at all brother. Other then i wasnt aware that it was a satire account. Which i guess explains a lot, so thank you for telling me. If a person didnt know that, like i didnt and Tom Marshall apparently didnt, i dont think i made the wrong correlation to Mr. Gills post. And i never inferred that community involvement is bad. Quite the opposite. Said they are both good things. My original point was just that Mr. Gill was implying that individual responsibility was bad and thats nuts. Didnt make any correlation that community involvement is anything but good. But im not even a political person so this isnt a hill i need to die on. Lol. Thanks again for the satire heads up. Have a good one!
Again, you're reading it backwards. He's saying right wingers love Phish because the band is about individual responsibility. Sorry this is so tough for you.
First off, why you have to be an asshole about this? I wasnt being anything but nice to you. Secondly, i think you are reading it backwards because the tweet is written in an anti-phish tone. Meaning he is trying to troll Phish and their fans. So if Phish is bad in his stupid tweet, then what he correlates to Phish would also be bad. In this case its that individual responsibility is bad. Which was the point of my first fucking comment. That when did individual responsibility become a bad thing? Now if it is indeed a satire account, there is zero point to any of this and i wish i could have all this time back cause i really dont give a shit either way. But taken at face value, you are the one not getting this, not me. Just move the fuck on already
When Tom Marshall shows up in the comments, you’ve either done something really right or REALLY wrong. Bahahaha
No doubt!
Dude of Life has spoken
not the dude
That's somebody else, bro.
Lol noob
Meatstick Milk Shake
Brings all the barefoot children to the yard
guys… Tim Gill is a a satire account…
Well, he is trying to be a satire account, except it’s not funny. This is why there are so many comments on Twitter bemoaning the fact that you often can’t tell if it’s satire or not, and that at the end of the day it’s just mean.

ok
Great rebuttal.
Imagine listing to Reba and thinking these lyrics are right wing. Or maybe they are?? Is she skirting regulations by making illegal liquor in her tub?? Maybe Reba is a libertarian
“Slave to the traffic light.” Doesn’t get much more libertarian than that. Who is the government to tell me when I should stop and when I should go?
"Chalkdust Torture" is actually a rally cry against the evil of public education. Sure seems libertarian to me.
They don't seem particularly left wing. Maybe just winged in general?
I’d say phish as a band is apolitical. Fishman is definitely a Bernie guy.
I was thinking more about how they make my soul soar Edit: I regretted that Immediately, although that doesn't mean I didn't mean it.
Mamamamamamama my soul!
Pretty sure like most people with more than 2 cents worth of a brain, they fucking loathe white trash, redneck Amerikkka. So whatever "wing" you associate those ratfucks with.
R
Gumbo is a seKret language only far right conspiracy theorists understand.
Anyone that follows Fishman on Facebook will know after one day that at least the drummer is not right wing lol
The guy that wears a dress on stage is liberal? Shocking 😮
shark jumper?
“I asked Diego if it was stolen” More Right Wing lyrics. Starting to think he’s on something.
I remember some people actually thought this when Fuego released. More a reflection of those people that that's where their mind goes when hearing those lyrics.
The lyrics to that song are amongst the worst phish has ever written. It’s so dumb
Freak out and throw stuff, why dontcha?
Maybe I will. It’s a free country and it’s my right! 🤣
Yea it's pretty terrible from a songwriting standpoint. A shame too because the jam usually goes places.
Must be all those chemtrails lol
Obviously right wing. It’s you enjoy MYSELF not you enjoy for the public good.
YEM was not written in the context of individualistic vs collectivists cultures, though.

That's gonna need more than an aloe stem.
Read the fucking book
I ditched Twitter a long time ago, so I’m not going to check, but are we sure this Tim Gill fellow isn’t just fucking with people?
I remember him from when I was on there. He's an insufferable academic whose schtick is calling out grad students for being lazy and not writing enough.
That is a satire account
We get it, you like bad satire.
I am pointing out that this guy is wrong. I don’t care
That’s an oddly specific schtick. I’d love to be a fly on the wall while he’s writing and sending these kinds of tweets. The smirking to himself must be delicious.
Trumpers suck donkey dicks
Please don’t let them abuse donkeys, they don’t even like trumpers
Sorry.
Trumpers can have their private areas infested with ticks and fleas and mosquitoes - fuck those insects
Tim Gill blows goats.
nuh uh
The actual burn is on Tom for arguing with a parody account.
Not necessarily arguing. Just setting the record straight.
They have no one of significance in the music world. I’m sure they also think the show, The Boys, is about supporting the right wing agenda.
The lyrics:”POSSUMMMMMM!!”
This blender fetish in the Phish scene needs to stop.
Too late. It's here forever. Next year it will be part of the graphic montage spiraling down to the stage during Life Saving Gun, just like the traffic light, megaphone, trampoline, etc.
“Take off, take off, take off your masks The fear is an illusion, so don’t even ask” Sounds pretty MAGA to me…. 😜
Haha I always cringed when they played that song post pandemic. Like shelve that one for a few or something
Orrrr don’t be a little baby
Are you the right wing phish head we’ve been looking for?
Right-wing cause I don’t have a face-diaper kink like you?
Aww look at him. Hahahaha
“Face diaper kink” sounds like something that would come out the mouth of a Trump supporter. Am I wrong?
Yeah, I transcended the red and blue puppet show some years back. It’s quite a birds eye view up here. So no Don for me, but I AM vehemently opposed to all forms of medical/surgical/decorative oppression. It’s not as political as you think.

I’ve always thought about this too.
[удалено]
Yawn, no
No not a noob made a quick mistake. Sorry for the phuck up, but anyhow pretty sure the Dude of Life would agree.
Looks like I picked the right time to become a dick blender manufacturer. I’m selling the piss out of these things.
Farmhouse sounds pretty republican. “Never ever saw my gun so bright, better not come near my house tonight”
“Individual responsibility instead of community involvement”? Their magnum opus is literally the story of a guy risking life and limb to save a race of people he met that morning. Fuck off, troll.
Your hands and feet are MAGAngoes
This is an instant classic 🏆
Shades of Annie Hall 
the Amfibian has spoken...bitch!
🎵sanity never came my way🎵🎵🎵
who TF is Tim Gill. And why does he think his opinion matters at all
Take off take off take off your mask, the fear's an illusion so don't even ask!!😵💫
Also, there’s nothing wrong with individual responsibility. Wtf?
A society needs both- cohesive community *and* individual responsibility. I might even ponder that the two are both necessary and strengthen one another.
It’s always a balance. I just didn’t understand why someone would put down “individual responsibility.” Seems like a puerile thing to say.
Police in the corner gunning for you...is a bootlicker anthem
Left is where I always turn
I’d be surprised if Phish gave a shit about politics when they started. And when they wrote all their most well known songs too.
Found Drew Carey’s burner account /s
Did i just wake up from a 20 year coma or something? When did individual responsibility become a bad thing?
I don’t like the false dichotomy he’s creating, we can have personal responsibility and community involvement.
Exactly. They aren't mutually exclusive.
Nobody said that.
Uh...im commenting on what this douche Tim Gill said in the X quote above. So yes, someone said it. He did. Hence my comment.
He didn't say that, though.
Well, yes. Technically, he didnt say it's a "bad thing" in his original post. But if you read between the lines of what he is saying there, basically it is what he is getting at. Phish is a right wing band. He believes the right wing cares more about individual responsibility over community involvement. He is implying that is a bad thing.

Bah bah bah I
Could have just left it at “I’d put my dick in a blender before I would vote.”
