Don't apologize, you did a great job. Now id like you to read the entire chain along with snowden's words so you can catch up on the whole point of this thread. Do this and you'll be less "object lesson" and more "lesson learned".
I'll edit my comment too. See how this commenter is doubling down? They offer nothing, (even couched within their ad hominem), of substance. I mean to say that they disparage the "message" as having "less meaning"without really explaining why.
Indeed, the commenter invites the reader (by agreeing with them) to engage in 'virtue signaling' (by again saying without saying), conflating their distaste for corporate sponsorship and expensive tickets (something we all share) with a reason to not listen to RATM at all.
It's another great example of bad reasoning one might fall prey to if one doesn't engage in critical thinking.
