Wow, things went off topic very drastically, very quickly 100% I agree that no one should be extending olive branches to Nazis. That said, I don't think you can categorize every single Trump supporter as a Nazi. Even numerically, if you look at pretty much any poll in the US right now, you can see that the majority of people do not agree with indiscriminate mass deportation, and yet the majority of people who voted, voted for Trump. So obviously there are people who voted for him (many, I would say) who do not agree with mass deportation (the same can probably be said on trans rights, genocide, or any other topic under the sun, but I'll stick to the mass deportation example here). When someone says they are for "border security" that can mean a million different things for a million different people: in the far right end of the spectrum, sure you will find people who want no immigrants at all, no matter their circumstances, background, or how much they positively contribute to the country, and who think indiscriminate mass deportation is great. But for others it will mean deporting only those with a violent criminal record, for others it will be deporting anyone with a criminal record, be it violent or not, for someone else it will mean deporting people with a criminal record as well as those who entered illegally, even if they have no criminal record at all, etc etc.., and none of these people necessarily support mass and indiscriminate deportations, and you can definitely have reasonable conversations with any of them. Many of them might have voted for Trump mainly because he promised to deport criminals, and they believed that wouldn't mean mass indiscriminate deportations, or they might have voted for Trump mainly for another reason and this was just secondary. But if we just label them all as Nazis / fascist / pro mass indiscriminate deportation, we are not going to be able to communicate with them, to understand them, or much less to get them to consider switching sides. I truly do believe that the only way out of this mess is dialogue, and a dialogue where we can see nuances and not just have a binary classification where you are either a democrat or a fascist. And before anyone blames me of being "far right but too afraid to admit it", keep in mind that I am Venezuelan, and half my family is currently in the US based there an asylum seekers, and Venezuelans are the favorite target population for Trump's deportation program right now, so not only am I vehemently again mass deportation, but in the case of the US it is a very personal issue for me, one in which I have actual skin in the game. Also the comment that started all of this was someone imagining a song where Billie talks about Trump's assassination attempt, and how even though he hates the guy, he doesn't want that type of violence, and how that'd be extending an olive branch to the other side. Making a jump from that, to extending an olive branch to Nazi's, it's quite a leap in my opinion.

nope im guessing though that at least 1 of the deluxe songs (maybe Fuck Off?) will be included at one point, and it wouldnt surprise me if we get a rerecording of a song from 1039/sweetened kerplunk

Any information about which songs Will be included and a potential OST album release?

You could like Green Day…and also not share EVERY opinion of theirs and still be a fan and a good person.

I also like forums over Reddit. Obviously there are a lot of issues with Reddit but I can't stand about music subreddits are how you aren't allowed to have a critical opinion about something. I've seen far too many threads saying things like those who don't like xyz album give it another shot!! Or don't listen to the haters! It's fine if you like an album. It's also fine if others don't. That's what makes an interesting discussion. Reddit is too much of an echo chamber.

When you hear the original version of Police on my Back on Sirius and immediately think of Billie....and then proceed to tell everyone in the car about Billie's cover.

A Green Day whiskey bottle. Eh https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19hCVdYQv2/

Sold out

So true!😄 Romantic isn’t our thing either.😂 On an evening out we had the following conversation (in German of course): „You know, I think we could marry.“ - „Oh, yes. Why not?“

It's also quite fitting for this thread: you know you are a Green Day fan when you know so many fellow fans you actually know someone from a Green Day proposal video What can I say? To each their own 🤷‍♀️ For me the ideal proposal would be while buying groceries, or while cleaning the house... something so boring and mundane you are happy for the distraction... I know, I am such a hopeless romantic 😂

Oh this is great! When I posted the link I never would have expected that! But her opinions on marriage proposals during GD shows differ from yours obviously….😂

In an unexpected turn of events (although it should have been expected, because the Green Day hardcore following is a tiny world in the end ) I actually know the girl in the proposal video. The two of us alongside a couple other people started Green Day Fan Venezuela, the Venezuelan fan page / group, around the time Green Day announced their concert in Venezuela in 2010. I just haven't seen her in like 14 years, and we didn't keep in touch anymore after a while, so I didn't recognize her immediately from the video. But she commented the Italian fan group sharing of the video, and I recognized her name, looked at her profile picture and saw it was her, and then watched the video again and it was obvious I'm happy for her! She is a really nice person

100%. In my country we just had elections a few months ago and the choice was between a guy similar to Trump and an ex-social activist for some good causes. The people who voted for Trump-wanna-be were hateful, uneducated, and wanted to take away our freedom and human rights, and sell us to Putin. I’m usually a pretty peaceful person, all about diplomacy, but I’d never extend an olive branch to them. God can forgive them, because I certainly can’t. There’s only so much you can do when it comes to disagreeing on politics. But you can’t be friends with those who want to take away your rights.

I’m with @Clockwise and as a European who loves the US, watching what’s happening there, I think now is not the time for the olive branch but to be loud and angry.

Forums are soooo much better than instagram and TikTok, solely because they haven’t been invaded by bots

No im mostly in the middle pro gay marriage pro border security pro life for gun control against war. There is a middle where most people land on

My phone was trying to burn it back to black.

Awww how cute. What an adorable couple

Just got an email today saying that they have shipped!

Not to go too off topic, but if you're on the fence about mass deportations, trans rights or the genocide in Gaza, then I think you've made your choice. I'm not talking about either of you personally, but more and more these days saying you're in "the middle" just means you're on the right but are too afraid to say it.

Unfortunately that's how some brains work. It's an unfortunate stretch.

Correct. It was played in milwaukee along with Stuck with me that day 😁

Damn, those Trilogy vinyl are expensive nowadays 😮 I'm glad I bought the US, European and Hot Topic versions of each of the 3 when they came out. Guess they're in higher demand since not too many people liked the albums or just didn't care.
