[@brookscowan90]

love when he says “Fight!” to begin the dueling electric guitars

[@joonatan4394]

The karate chop signifies that the battle has begun.

[@DredgenX]

I thought he was saying fuck lol

[@SunnyDeluna-si6jv]

I don’t think he said “fight” because at the end he says it again, maybe it’s in a different language

[@DredgenX]

@@SunnyDeluna-si6jv He definitely is saying fight, because he is chopping his hand down to start the fight like streetfighter MK etc. It's a Guitar Duel going back and forth in the solo, he is most surely saying FIGHT! Most fighting games also have atleast 2 rounds to declare a winner. It's a video game reference :) like the op said

[@SunnyDeluna-si6jv]

@@DredgenXyeah I know games do that, I’m into games myself but that can’t explain why he said it at the end,which makes me think he said two different words or it’s in a different language.

Julian's Outro Lyrics: When the left and right argue every hour Special interests win unelected power (fight) Stockholders, power is for sale, power is for sale No struggle, no progress And although want it fighting on my own Listen to my story and i wanted all i love Angel, i see much of the same I see much of the same

It's a way of asserting authority or expertise in a playful or condescending manner. The OBEY movement originated from the street art campaign created by artist Shepard Fairey in the late 1980s. It began with Fairey's sticker featuring an image of wrestler André the Giant accompanied by the word "OBEY." The movement evolved into a broader cultural phenomenon, often associated with challenging authority, consumerism, and mass media manipulation. Fairey's artwork has been displayed worldwide, and the OBEY message has been interpreted in various ways by different audiences. Hands waved above head: Can be a way to attract someone's attention or signal a desire for help or assistance, particularly in a crowded or chaotic environment. The notion that the upper classes don't want the underclasses to be educated is rooted in the idea of maintaining power and privilege. Historically, education has been a means of upward social mobility, enabling individuals to challenge existing power structures and demand greater equality. By limiting access to education for the underprivileged, the upper classes can perpetuate their dominance and prevent potential threats to their status quo. This concept is often associated with discussions about socioeconomic inequality and the role of education in social change. "The walls" in political ideology typically refer to the barriers, both physical and metaphorical, that governments or societies may erect to control the flow of people, goods, or ideas across borders. It's often used in discussions about immigration policies, trade regulations, and censorship. "Recompense" refers to compensation or repayment for a loss, injury, or service rendered. It can also mean a reward or payment given in exchange for something, typically for a job or service. The raised fist symbol, ✊, is commonly associated with solidarity, unity, strength, and resistance. It has been used as a symbol of various social and political movements, including labor rights, civil rights, and anti-authoritarianism. It often represents defiance against oppression and a commitment to fighting for justice and equality. The phrase "No struggle, no progress" encapsulates the idea that progress or improvement often requires overcoming obstacles or facing challenges. It implies that growth and advancement are typically achieved through perseverance, effort, and resilience in the face of adversity. This phrase is commonly associated with various social and political movements, particularly those advocating for civil rights, equality, and justice. It underscores the notion that meaningful change often results from the struggle against injustice, oppression, and inequality. Movements such as the civil rights movement in the United States, the fight for women's rights, and struggles for LGBTQ+ rights have embraced this sentiment as a rallying cry for transformative change. The turn of phrase "I see much of the same" typically means that someone perceives a situation, pattern, or outcome to be very similar or unchanged from what they have previously observed or experienced. It suggests a sense of familiarity or continuity, indicating that little or no significant change has occurred. A flashing lightning bolt symbol often represents electricity or energy. In various contexts, it can symbolize power, speed, or sudden change. It's commonly used to indicate danger, urgency, or a warning sign, especially in the context of electrical hazards. Additionally, the lightning bolt has been used in popular culture to symbolize superhero powers, innovation, and inspiration. A call to action in a pre-Revolutionary time might involve rallying people to protest against unjust laws or oppressive government policies, advocating for reforms, organizing resistance movements, or mobilizing support for revolutionary ideas and principles. It could take the form of pamphlets, speeches, public gatherings, or letters urging citizens to unite and take action to challenge authority and fight for their rights and freedoms. A revolution is a fundamental and often sudden change in political, social, or economic structures within a society. It typically involves a mass uprising or movement by the populace to overthrow an existing system or government perceived as unjust or oppressive. Revolutions can result in significant shifts in power dynamics, the establishment of new political regimes, changes in social norms and values, and transformations in economic systems. They can be driven by various factors such as inequality, injustice, political repression, economic hardship, or aspirations for greater freedom and equality. Signs of an impending revolution often include widespread dissatisfaction among the population, increasing political activism, protests, and demonstrations. Here are some actions taken by the public that may signify the coming of a revolution: 1. **Mass Protests:** Large-scale protests and demonstrations, often with demands for political or social change, can indicate growing discontent and a desire for systemic transformation. 2. **Civil Disobedience:** Acts of civil disobedience, such as strikes, boycotts, or refusal to comply with unjust laws, can be powerful expressions of public dissent and defiance against the existing order. 3. **Political Mobilization:** Increased political organizing and mobilization efforts, including the formation of opposition groups, underground networks, or revolutionary organizations, may signal the preparation for a revolution. 4. **Rising Unrest:** Escalating incidents of social unrest, including riots, clashes with authorities, and acts of violence, may indicate deep-seated grievances and a breakdown of social order. 5. **Spread of Revolutionary Ideas:** The dissemination of revolutionary ideologies and rhetoric through publications, speeches, and social media can fuel a sense of solidarity and collective action among the populace. 6. **Defiance of Authority:** Open defiance of government authority, such as the refusal to pay taxes, disobedience of orders, or occupation of public spaces, can demonstrate a loss of legitimacy in the eyes of the ruling regime. 7. **Support from Disenfranchised Groups:** Growing support for revolutionary movements among marginalized or disenfranchised groups, such as the poor, workers, ethnic minorities, or students, can amplify the momentum for change. 8. **International Solidarity:** Expressions of solidarity and support from international allies or sympathetic movements abroad can provide momentum and legitimacy to revolutionary aspirations. These actions, when observed collectively and over time, may serve as indicators of the potential for revolutionary upheaval within a society.
