Over the last week, a genuine viral phenomenon took place with Oliver Anthony’s Rich Men North of Richmond. A video of him singing the tune was shot by a local country station, and the unknown singer was instantly propelled into national fame. His song is a lament of the political and cultural conditions foisted upon middle America by the aforementioned ruling class located a few hours to his north. It is a working-class anthem, with coarse language commonly used among the kind of men who work long hours while witnessing their country destroyed at the hands of wicked men.
