I know there’s a whole hero-worship-cult thing around Springsteen these days and that he himself campaigns for Amnesty and various Dems

But Born in the USA isn’t a lefty or anti-American song. It may not be as patriotic as boot-up-your-ass, it’s not a rag, it’s a flag, etc

but this song just isn’t what the glib left thinks it is. It’s about a drifter in a broken society who finds meaning in war and nothing else

@tinysubversions i’d say “it’s about the treatment of Vietnam vets after the war” but Springsteen is v. pro-labor too
