    To mess up your sample a bit, I rode goofy back when I skated and I rarely invert in video games - it only feels right in certain circumstances, like flight controls.

    Thanks! I've always loved that kind of comment - it was one of my favorite things about early reddit, and I had fun putting this together.

    My ear doesn't hear the "nothing/nothing" line as an attempted rhyme. The rhyme scheme in this song is a little loose but it makes pretty heavy use of unrhymed stanzas punctuating the verses and chorus. It's been a long time since I've done much formal analysis of poetry, and it was never my favorite thing to do in the first place, but I've made an attempt - I think the first verse would be something like:
    aA, xA, bB, xX, cC, xX, dD

    It's a little easier to see what's going on if you highlight the rhymes, I think.

    Now, your ear is your ear, there's no right or wrong way to hear poetry or music, but from my perspective I don't think lines 4 or 6 are meant to rhyme, either internally or with other lines.

    Also, just for fun, the bridge in this song is really well written, IMO:

    That's a good one, lol. It reads like a temp lyrics that got left in because they couldn't come up with anything better.

    Honestly Rush is a good band but they've always struck me as pretty corny in general, lyrically speaking. Also I have a hard time listening to Geddy Lee's vocals but that's a me thing.

    Huh, I actually like that lyric a lot. Not because it means anything, it's just really pleasing to the ear the way it's sung. Actually a lot of that song is like that - the lyrics don't mean anything particularly deep but they feel really nice to sing and they scan really well.

    Wait, aren't Groypers far right white supremacists? Why would this song be associated with them? (not questioning you, just confused)

    Almost all of it is terminally online shitpost-level stuff. The bella ciao thing is apparently a reference to a song associated with Italian antifascist partisans during WW2.

    It's the input for the 500KG Eagle airstrike stratagem. No idea if that's a coincidence though.

    Apparently this might be a Helldivers 2 reference?

    Trump and co. were going to make shit up no matter what, they live in a reality of their own creation. The truth does still matter to others, though.

    Nope, you're right and I should have checked, I think I saw "2 casualties" or something similar and my brain ran away with me.

    How do you stop a "good guy" with a gun? /s

    You see, that was an old white guy dressed up as a cop. What are they going to do, take guns away from old white guys or cops?

    That'd be ridiculous!

    What might that solve? The hundreds-if-not-thousands of officer involved cold blooded zero consequence murders?

    I'm convinced that if Return of the Jedi were made today Star Wars fanboys would shit themselves with rage and review bomb it. Although now that I think of it, RotJ does have Leia in the metal bikini, so maybe that would pacify the chuds. But the Ewoks are goofy as shit and there's a lot of screen times devoted to Ewoks in that movie.

    I think that people view past Star Wars stuff with rose tinted glasses sometimes, because honestly bad acting, caricatures, and inability to follow through on ideas are kind of staples of the series. And for the most part I thought the acting was fine, and I felt like the Rashomon episode really tied the whole series together in a way that was really neat.
