Meet The ONE Man Who Doesn’t Like Oliver Anthony

As the entire world almost universally loves and heaps praise on Oliver Anthony for his deeply emotional and hard hitting “Rich Men North of Richmond”, one person doesn’t like it.

As I always say, there is NOTHING we can all agree on.

Nothing.

This was close….

A once-in-a-generation song that has been labeled by many people as an ANTHEM for our time had just about everyone other than the Rich Men North of Richmond rallying around to give it praise.

Every reaction video I watched online (and I watched a lot of them) are all people being blown away when they first hear it, and then loving it even more as the lyrics sink in.

But not one guy….

No, you have to be a pretty huge Red Ass to not jive with the emotion and the sentiment of this song, but Mark Antonio Wright is exactly that Red Ass.

Congrats Mark!

Of course Mark writes for the National Review, who is on the wrong side of nearly every issue and is very anti-Trump, so it doesn’t surprise me that they just can’t quite understand the power behind this song.

Not surprising at all.

Sad, but not surprising.

The article is similarly negatively titled “Oliver Anthony’s Fuzzy Lament”.

First, Mark takes issue with these lyrics:

I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

Most educated people know that inflation and money printing and removing the dollar from the gold standard is absolutely destroying the value of the dollar.

As the “Rich Men” get richer, people working for an honest wage aren’t getting that honest wage anymore.

While that has garnered near universal praise and agreement among people listening to the song, Mark writes the following Red Assery over at The National Review:

My brother in Christ, you live in the United States of America in 2023 — if you’re a fit, able-bodied man, and you’re working “overtime hours for bullshit pay,” you need to find a new job.

How absolutely tone deaf, Mark.

Wow.

Next he takes issue with this line:

Young men are puttin’ themselves six feet in the ground
’Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin’ them down

And again we have Mark having a big problem with it:

The tragedy of young men killing themselves through drink or drugs — the catastrophe of deaths of despair — is a crisis of our own making. The federal government in Washington — Anthony’s “rich men north of Richmond” — has had a destructive role in our society. But Washington is not the cause of our national sickness; it’s a symptom.

I’m not going to give this loser any more attention, but I’ll just let all of you decide…

Good night, even this loser’s Tweets are whiney and self-righteous:

To contrast one whiney National Review writer with an authentic, real American writing powerful songs from the heart, I give you Oliver Anthony’s latest update posted online.

This guy is the real deal:

And if you’d rather watch/listen to that post, you can do so here:

Now let’s compare whiney Mark’s review over at the whiney National Review with what real Americans think….

Watch these reactions and see what you think….who is more on point, Whiney Mark or all these people?

“This Is A Rallying Cry, Meant To Wake Up An Entire Generation!”

Hi, it’s Noah and I have a confession to make.

I’m not sure exactly how this happened but I’ve spent a big chunk of my day watching reaction videos of people listening to Oliver Anthony’s viral anthem, Rich Men North of Richmond.

I don’t quite know how it all started but YouTube recommended one video to me and then it just got out of control after that.

But here’s why I am so fascinated watching them….

Because it’s almost a universal praise and admiration for the song — but not just the song, it’s more about what the song stands for.

I haven’t seen any real American disagree with it.

Actually, forget about just Americans….we’re all humans and we all basically want the same things.

And all across the world we’re all sick and tired of corrupt governments.

So across all the different groups that Liberals love to use to DIVIDE us, I’m noticing something entirely different.

I’m noticing people who say they’re Democrats (or Republicans or Independents or who don’t vote), or people who are black (or white), rich (or poor)….it just doesn’t matter, I’ve seen all different kinds of people in these reaction videos and they all say the same thing — this is an ANTHEM!  It’s a Rallying Cry!

It’s bringing people together, across all the fake lines of division and fake groups that the Deep State wants to use to pit us against each other and keep us fighting.

The truth?

Turns out the only real division is WE THE PEOPLE vs. the Rich Men North of Richmond!

From the opening line of this song I knew it was special and it’s doing special things.

This was one of my favorite reaction videos.

This guy’s face and reactions are hilarious!

But also serious at other times.

Wonderful reaction video, watch here:

Here’s another one I really liked.

This guy says right on the video he doesn’t vote because he thinks the whole system is corrupt.

And yet he’s 100% in line with the song.

Loves it.

Here’s one more…

Love this one too:

Comments confirm — it’s an Anthem!

I hope you enjoy these reaction videos as much as I have.

I believe more than any fake poll or focus group, these videos right here show you what America thinks.

And guess what folks?

It’s just like I’ve said for a LONG time now….

We are NOT as divided as they want you to think we are.

This is not a 50/50 divided country.

This is a Country that’s much more 90/10 on most issues.

The enemy is not us vs. us.

The enemy is us vs. the Rich Men North of Richmond.

And this song just became a Rallying Cry Anthem!

An ANTHEM For Our World — Rich Men North of Richmond

I don’t know about you, but from the opening line of this song, I was captivated.

I hit play and was kind of doing 2-3 different things all at once as I tend to do, and I instantly stopped everything else I was doing to listen to this song.

It’s real.

It’s raw.

And it’s not just a great song — it’s an ANTHEM.

I was going to write that it was an Anthem for our Generation, but I had to revise that.

It’s not just for one generation…this song is resonating with almost everyone!

Exactly what this guy said:

Just one man, one guitar, a microphone and an INCREDIBLY raw and real voice.

You almost wonder how all of that energy and gravitas came out of that one man.

Powerful.

Dripping with emotion.

It puts to music and puts into words what all of us are feeling.

I am working to get Oliver on my show for an interview, I would LOVE to talk with him.

Hopefully we can make that happen this week.

Read the lyrics for “Rich Men North of Richmond” below:

[Verse 1]
I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day
Overtime hours for bullsh** pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a d**n shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

[Chorus]
Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond, Lord knows they all
Just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do
‘Cause your dollar ain’t sh** and it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

[Verse 2]
I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat
And the obese milkin’ welfare
[Verse 3]
Well, God, if you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are puttin’ themselves six feet in the ground
‘Cause all this d**n country does is keep on kickin’ them down

[Pre-Chorus]
Lord, it’s a d**n shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

[Chorus]
Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond, Lord knows they all
Just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do
‘Cause your dollar ain’t sh** and it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

[Outro]
I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day
Overtime hours for bullsh** pay

You've GOT to hear this heart-rending song…a scathing indictment of the DC insiders who trash our dollar, tax us relentlessly, censor our thoughts and speech, and care only for minors on Epstein's island. https://t.co/CZsr4PqCDx

The video for “Rich Men North of Richmond,” posted to YouTube by radiowv, has nearly eclipsed 4 million views at the time of writing.

radiowv writes:

When I first came across Oliver Anthony and his music, I was blown away to say the least. He had a whole collection of songs that I could listen to for hours. Oliver resides in Farmville, VA with his 3 dogs and a plot of land he plans on turning into a small farm to raise livestock. We have a whole mess of songs set to release of Oliver for your viewing and listening pleasure, he is truly special and notes his biggest influence as Hank Williams Jr. Oliver wants to give hope to the working class and your average hard working young man who may have lost hope in the grind of trying to get by.

Oh, and if you’re wondering what the headline lyric means?

THESE would be the RICH MEN located North of Richmond:
