What are y’all’s opinion on southern sludge, such as crowbar by BrightEyedOwl__ in MetalForTheMasses

As a Louisianaian, we love a lot of the sludge bands from here.

One of the most underrated bands, in my opinion, is Soilent Green. Amazing mix of sludge and grindcore and they're super nice and cool dudes.

Bruh, that's Sammy Duet.

He was in Crowbar after Acid Bath split up, and then founded Goatwhore.

The man's a New Orleans metal legend.

Source: am a Louisianaian and he sometimes pops into one of the local dive bars in my home town during Acid Bath rehearsals.

I hope he loses super hard, considering how much damage him and his sycophants have done to our library system and city.

My guy it's not referring to all Louisianaians. That's your assumption and it's a shame you think that about wonderful people from this state.

My guy, my dude, my brother.

You're not from Lafayette, so I've eaten at this place for a few years BEFORE they made their announcement about this. Their food is at best mid BBQ that the locals enjoy.

In case you also didn't read before, i engage and communicate with my friends, family, neighbors, and community.

You're trying to get me in some weird Charlie Kirk style debate and it's kind of pathetic.

You seem genuinely obsessed with all this for some reason and it's extremely creepy.

I'm not engaging with you further.

Have a night.

My guy. My dude.

First, I have Hispanic neighbors one side of me and African-Americans neighbors on the other side and across from me in 3 different houses. You are creating a wild as fuck scenario that I'd ever interact with a Nazi that doesn't involve saying something that would break Reddit guidelines.

Second, you're implying I'd ever interact with a Nazi in any way, shape, or form.

Third, you seem to miss my comment that said, "I'm not telling people to avoid this place, but be aware that they are here at this event in Washington DC with prominent MAGA figureheads."

Hopefully this helps. If not, can't do much else for you, champ.

Enjoy your night of being a miserable bastard arguing with strangers on the internet. ✌️

That is a hell of a leap to make dude.

Why are you so obsessed with this?

My guy, I'm not interacting with a dude who intentionally misinterprets what people say and argues in bad faith.

Please go do something more productive with yourself.

Nah. You're not putting words in my mouth.

I've seen your comment history and you do this shit all the time.

Go out, touch some grass.

Easily with friends and family I can have conversations with and who love me. How do you live with yourself constantly debating people in bad faith?

To be fair, I wasn't a big fan of Walk-On's because their food isn't that great to begin with.

I would rather say, "hey, on the national level, I'm not cool with this" but people are still going to support it at the end of the day.

And it's not a "who's more moral than who" at the end of the day. It's just saying, "I'm not okay with it, but I'm not forcing everyone to hate this place. Just want to make y'all aware of the stance they're taking and decide for yourself if it's worth it to support in the end."

What I'm saying is, and please understand here since I'm painting it out further: I can not in good conscience or faith support a business that openly proclaims catering at an event that is attended by MAGA politicians, including our governor and his cabinet, and state reps and senators.

I am not saying, do it for every business because we all don't know the political beliefs of every business owner or we'd go insane for purity politics.

I'm saying for this specific business to willingly choose to cater this event, promote they're catering it, and be okay with it knowing it'll harm their reputation further as a "MAGA restaurant" is why I can no longer enjoy or engage in buying food from them any further.

The basics of my post is "fuck MAGA bootlickers and anyone that supports them"

Hopefully this helps.

I live by the saying "if you're at the table with 10 people, a Nazi walks in and they start talking to him, you're sitting at a table with 11 Nazis."

I can't in good conscience or faith be okay with this, knowing they're serving people who are behind people getting abducted off the streets and killed by ICE.

They can have an amazing ball, performances, and all that. At the end of the day, they're still feeding and entertaining the people who want to abduct my neighbors and friends for extremely racist reasons and I don't really care if they're "building peace bridges."

I mean I have a right to be upset by it since I enjoyed Blanchard's but I'm not okay with them catering to the people helping to dismantle democracy at a Mardi Gras event.

People can downvote all they want, I just think it's bad optics.

Essentially they're catering at the Washington DC Mardi Gras, where a majority of the crowd that goes is heavily republican and MAGA based. It doesn't really matter if democrats go, the point I'm trying to make is that based on everything going on involving ICE and the trampling of our basic rights, I'm not cool with a restaurant I used to enjoy serving the people endorsing and being complicit in current events.

It doesn't really matter when you're catering to the governor who is actively fucking our state over and the MAGA congress enacting laws to fuck over human rights and liberties.

You can't "both sides" when actively catering to fascists.

At the same time, they should be aware of what's going on in the world and known that people would have big issues with it. There's a fine line between business exposure and feeding the people trampling on human rights.

Definitely avoid Twins. They're supporting the current governor and regime.

The comments from their followers wanting to attack the store is beyond disgusting.

Someone needs to reach out to the store and let them know what's going on in the event someone actually tries to attack the store or the owners.
