No, I don’t think it’s people being uncomfortable. I think it’s people like me who think the non-sequitur between a U2 song about sectarian violence in Europe and your SA experiences is a bit of a stretch. Any why would you start with “You understand, right….”, like this is leading on from some previous conversation.

Prior to the last election, I was driving a couple of guys from the Bay area and and they asked me what I thought would happen if I publicly accused Kamala Harris of sexual assault. I said I might as well douse myself in gasoline and light a match.

You understand, right, the first time iwas raped, I was probably 18 years old.
The first time I recall being sexually assaulted, I was probably about 5.
My first suicide attempt came not much longer.
We either change this shit, or morning changes.

I’m sorry, what does this have to do with Sunday Bloody Sunday or this post? There seem to be some dots missing.

The artists that I gave a fuck about spoke truth even when truth was uncomfortable.
Given the number of downvotes in receiving, this truth seems to be uncomfortable.

Where are the downvotes coming from?
Egg-Tall@reddit (OP)
Nice that you downvote without responding.
Fullonski@reddit
I didn’t downvote and I didn’t respond because I live in Australia, so I’ve been in bed.
Egg-Tall@reddit (OP)
Keep downvoting.
I don't give a fuck.
I wasn't popular in high school either.

The first time? Shit. So sorry OP
Egg-Tall@reddit (OP)
Shrug, whatever, we'll get through this, right?
haywoodjabloughmee@reddit
You sound strong as fuck. Of course you will get through this.
Egg-Tall@reddit (OP)
No man, simply tired. And I don't even know how to process this much fucking anger.
haywoodjabloughmee@reddit
That still sounds pretty rough.

My eighties are probably largely U2, R.E.M and Phil Collins.
I sorta miss socially conscious music.

I always think of the intro from Under a Blood Red Sky. This song is not a rebel song. This song is...Sunday Bloody Sunday.

Saw them live in 2001 and it's a top 5 concert for me.

Saw them at Sun Devil stadium during the filming... when the movie came out, my buddies and I went to see it and it was/still is pretty magical.

The weirdest cover and political statement based on this song.
