Dummies

Inspired by my own experiences seeing countless friends, relatives, co-workers etc draw a line down the middle and severe their relationships over their views on lockdowns, vaccinations, COVID in general, the governments in general, etc.
I've reserved judgement to my friends, family and colleagues who choose to get vaccinated, who choose not to get vaccinated, and who are undecided... On the basis that they do the same towards me. I've had no issues with the majority of people I know, simply being a topic we respect our own thoughts and views behind, and typically avoid discussing because hey, it's just simpler?
Going back as far as WeeklyBeats 2020 I've been dealing with some specific people (on and off, friends, family) who have seemingly no ability to maintain any form of a relationship without launching personal unprovoked attacks about these subjects. This song is for them. It's a rushed beat, made in 1 hour boxing day morning here in Australia, an hour before the deadline... uploaded with 28 seconds to spare! The title/lyrics come from one of the few things I posted in retaliation to the barrage of anti-vax, anti-gov, conspiracy theory crap I was being spammed with every week... the clip from Dawn of the Dead (1978) with the talk show guest screaming DUMMIES towards the audience mindset that the zombies were still their relatives and loved ones... that is more relevant to me now than it was when that public post on my own socials warranted an inbox barrage of insults and belittling commentary from the same person who spammed their crap on a daily basis.
I've spent the last 2 weeks listening to Infected Mushroom, love them, watched their recent concert they put up on YouTube celebrating 25 years + I've been listening to Converting Vegetarians II on repeat along with IM25.
Lyrics:
You're just a dummy.
With your "Us vs. Them Mentality" Mentality...
Another life-long bond Fatality
DUMMIES!
