What's the biggest or most severe example of "missing the point" you've seen?

I know someone who used to go to rage against the machine concerts in their youth and is now a Republican. Every day I wake up and thank god I am not that braindead

I remember chuckling to videos of drumptards dancing to RATM during the Floyd protests and covid. It was obvious that their only takeaway was "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me"

For anyone unaware, there are a number of memes about RATM (mostly Tom Morello's) politics

But my personal favorite, from 2020, is this one: https://i.imgur.com/ix6Ig4Hg.jpg

With a name like Rage Against The Machine, it's on the tin.

What do you think the machine is they are raging against? The fucking printer?

“It’s too bad they are raging FOR the machine now”

Morons.

They had the very first interracial marriage in fiction back in the 1960's, I think they have the license to be at least a little woke.

It's interesting that they are able to come up with creative and intelligent experiments that would serve as evidence or proof one way or another but then often won't even trust their own results.

The ones just trolling I can understand. Maybe it's all of the ones doing experiments.

I'm doing my part

It's about total control from the perfect totalitarian state. Mass surveillance is a small part, and control of language is also a part. But it's also about control of truth and history, and eventually even control of the inner mind.

The cameras are only a tiny part.

You can always mention religion.
