Hello.

And fellas, sometimes I just want to rage.

I just wanna just flip tables and tear things up.

I wanna rip some systems, Hanenberg.

But I feel like I don't really have like a set guideline

for my system ripping.

If I really wanted to be to really channel my KMFDM energies.

Were they, were they a rip the system band? They were ripped the system. I thought KMFDM was just like, let's make hard hitting house music. Yeah, no, they did. And then running their songs was Rip the System, which is the only KMFDM song I know because it makes me giggle every time. That's fine. But anyway, it's an anti-racism song too, which was a good thing.

Oh, that's good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, I think, or it may be, hopefully it's an anti-racism song. You're going to find out something terrible in this podcast. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, but Handenberg, we are going to learn a couple of things today. One is that

apparently we've been pronouncing a gentleman's name wrong for like 100 years. Long time. We're

talking about, I was actually really hoping when I started reading this that it would, that would be

the source of Rage Against the Machine's name. It's not, sadly. I'm disappointed. So today I'm

talking about an essay called Civil Disobedience by a fellow named Henry David.
