Dee Snider Cool With Ukraine Using Twisted Sister Song
Snider hated when anti maskers wanted to use his song “We’re Not Going to Take It” to bitch about mask mandates, but he’s fully on board with the Ukrainians using it as their battle cry. In fact, he said his grandfather was Ukrainian before the country was swallowed up by the USSR after WW2.
Well, one use is for a righteous battle against oppression; the other is a infantile feet stomping against an inconvenience.
Who would have known that Dee Snider would be the voice of reason on our WW3 Bingo card.
I absolutely approve of Ukrainians using "We're Not Gonna Take It" as their battlecry. My grandfather was Ukrainian, before it was swallowed up by the USSR after WW2. This can't happen to these people again! #FUCKRUSSIA

People are asking me why I endorsed the use of "We're Not Gonna Take It" for the Ukrainian people and did not for the anti-maskers. Well, one use is for a righteous battle against oppression; the other is a infantile feet stomping against an inconvenience.
