You take a very personal slant on things sir.

I don't take my "news" from any one source. I pay attention to what conservative media offers as well as "liberal" media. I watch, read, and try to avoid bias confirmation as well as echo chambers. I attempt to critically analyse the "news" in terms of what is is and isn't, in terms of what an outlet choses to cover and what it avoids then what it hides or defends.

I'm old, I've done many years of union work alongside my employment but I also called out my union, often, when they weren't doing what was needed or the needed to take another look of their policies and focus.

I agree with you regarding that particular thread and the many threads that contain whines but no way forward from a majority of the participants.

The song in question is a whine. It offers no way forward. It demonises others further down the slippery pole than the songwriter.
The fellow, who doesn't even use his real name, is a right wing pundits best tool & distractor.

Here's a better analysis of it than I can offer.
