🙃 Regular Reminder That While Hozier Has Amazing Love Songs, He Is ALSO Very Outspoken About His Leftist

tweet from psychopompmike: the fact that Hozier's least streamed song is Jackboot Jump is telling and the TikTok girlies aren't ready for that conversation tbh. inset tweet from same user: I wanna say something controversial yet so brave...

🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.

Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church and the colonization of Ireland.

Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.

Nina Cried Power is an homage to various (mostly Black) civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.

Be criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.

Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism and about protest and resistance.

Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.

Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism and arms dealers prioritize short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%

Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.

If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.

I don’t like seeing all these people talking about the election, just instantly giving up on day one.

I open TikTok or Bluesky or Tumblr, whatever social media and I see people advising others to stop wearing pride gear in public- or announcing they are going back into the closet. Why? I understand you’re thinking of safety right now but doesn’t anyone realize you’re giving them EXACTLY what they want? You’re playing into EXACTLY what they want you to do?

The only reason we have had rights is not because someone fucking did it FOR us. We have to fight, we have to be loud. We have to fucking be. LOUD. Is your advice really to just “oh let them do this while I cry and wish it could be better.” NO. No???? Really?

Wear your pride gear, dress how you want to dress, be out. Be proud. No you are not going to be immune to criticism but if you really do want rights then you have to put a lot of effort into fighting for them. They can’t just silence us just like that, that’s pathetic.

Stop advising people to hide and give up. If there’s anything I’ve been seeing I agree with it’s actually to buy a gun. If republicans are going to protect anything, it’s the second amendment. If you can, carry a gun. Carry a knife. Carry pepper spray. Carry all three of you need to, but DONT let them walk all over you just because they won.

Protect yourself and your rights and STAND UP for yourself. The whole community, together. We aren’t hiding.
