Ethel Cain responds to #KillMoreCEOs backlash

”The men in charge better hope they can keep their digital smokescreens running as long as they can because the moment the rednecks and the hippies lay down their swords long enough to realize they have the same enemy, all hell is gonna break loose,” Ethel Cain writes.

Ethel Cain responds to #KillMoreCEOs backlash

Ethel Cain‘s #KillMoreCEOs Instagram story earlier this month has been criticized by the likes of Fox News, who devoted a recent segment to her, saying she’s “facing major backlash for calling on more corporate executives to be assassinated after the execution-style murder of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson” and calling for a boycott of her music. Ethel, who has always been outspoken politically, has issued a response on her Tumblr:

i find it funny that conservatives try to paint me calling for the death and destruction of multi-billionaire CEOs as some radical “woke liberal” standpoint. as if that even has anything to do with politics, especially in this era of surface level circus politics. the same way they try to politicize the hurricanes or the wildfires destroying parts of america, as if climate change is somehow a red vs. blue issue. it’s no secret i’m from a deeply conservative family in the sticks of florida and i still grew up hearing “i fought the law and the law won”. the healthcare system has fucked each and every member of my family in a different way at one point or another, as is the case with pretty much every family in this scorched earth nation. remember when country music, the genre currently associated the heaviest with the most conservative faction of america, used to be staunchly anti-government and about sticking it to the man? remember when the coal miners, grandfathers to the “trump-er hillbillies” of appalachia that everyone loves to write off as ignorant, fought tooth and nail for unionization because the companies that were built off their labor didn’t give a shit if they lived or died? since when has “upholding traditional values” gone hand in hand with… defending lawmakers and oil tycoons. my family and i complain about the same issues at the dinner table. the men in charge better hope they can keep their digital smokescreens running as long as they can because the moment the rednecks and the hippies lay down their swords long enough to realize they have the same enemy, all hell is gonna break loose.

Ethel also recently released a new album, Perverts, which you can stream below.
