System Of A Down’s John Dolmayan on Losing Friends Due to His Opinions

42 thoughts on “System Of A Down’s John Dolmayan on Losing Friends Due to His Opinions”

1. Communism is disgusting!

2. I used to be a fan of rock music. But now I listen to Christian rock music. And I respect John Dolmayan for standing on his beliefs.

3. Imagine living in a time where people are now mad at you for being anti-communist…

4. I agree with John almost, but his final verdict that BLM org should be trying to essentially be the new law enforcement for inner cities is a bit wild. The reality is in the USA no one is supposed to be unjustly victimized by those who swore to protect and serve. Black people are not all relegated to "inner cities" and many of the many police brutality cases did not happen in inner cities so focusing on inner cities citizen vs citizen crime doesn't fix police brutality against blacks nationwide. ALL black lives matter not just inner cities ones and focusing on that was what the BLM org was SUPPOSED to be doing, not sending all the money to the rainbow gang. Violence in inner cities (and globally) is mostly due to poverty and that's not (and shouldn't be) resolved by an anti police brutality movement or organization.

5. Good for him on his BLM comments

6. damn didn't know he's a real one. Respect

7. We're with you John!

8. This guy is one of the best and most down to earth guys in the rock scene. A great guy!

9. Tons of people think communism is something new, like here in america they say "out with the old" (the constitution) which is new not communism. Blood on all hands.

10. he presents himself as more moderate than he really is. hes a Trump supporter, not a moderate. i wonder what he really says behind closed doors

11. Our whole family has been listening to SOAD since they came out in the 90s. We are all conservative/libertarian. F the MK Ultra fans! Way to stoop to their agenda and divide the country even more. They drank the fluoride kool-aid and need a serious detox.

12. John sounds like a smart guy with normal views.

13. McCarthy was right.

14. He's not wrong with a bunch of his opinions. Communism/socialism sounds great but put in practice doesn't work. The BLM organisation is a tool for just stuffing their pockets with money and having the most wealthy people who run it benefit like that high-ranking member who recently purchased a very expensive property using the funds from the organisation instead of actually helping impoverished members of the black community like they are supposed to in a truly meaningful way. Essentially John Dolmayan is red pill leaning in a blue pill society from what I perceive and unfortunately, that means that for telling the truth about the way of the world instead of pandering to feelings to matter how ridiculous will see you get purged out of society especially if your voice is too loud for certain people's liking.

15. John is 💯

16. He is ABSOLUTELY 💯 CORRECT!

17. I've never understood members of the BLM movement would be communists and follow Karl Marx. He was a massive racist, and you can read it all in his private letters.

18. If you’re a jackass celebrity that can’t separate his combative political beliefs from his work then he deserves to not have any friends or fans. I hope more bad comes to him. System of a Down sucks anyway so who cares

19. Calling BLM "communists" shows a complete lack of understanding about both BLM and communism.

20. The same people that preach tolerance are the same ones that will cut ties due to your viewpoint. Good for him

21. Sharp guy.
    Compared to the massive rock and roll herd walking off a cliff, this guy is refreshing.

22. A musician who can think by himself

23. Nice, I didn’t realize SOAD was actually cool.

24. As soon as an artist opens their mouth, the focus shifts from their music to their opinion.

25. Well, he's not wrong. Good for him.

26. He just gained a new fan

27. Great drummer! 🤘😎

28. Knowing where we are now I can’t believe people bring up the Great Joseph McCarthy in a negative light. He was right and history has proven it.

29. John’s the man.

30. If I were John I wouldn’t worry about those people that were so called friends. They weren’t really friends at all. People have to realize that everyone has a right to their own opinions.

31. Love that dude and all he said! 🇺🇸

32. Well he's not lying

33. He aint wrong.

34. He has similar views to my right-wing friends. Guess what? Not everyone will agree with my left-leaning views, and that's fine. It becomes an issue when, just like he stated during the "McCarthy" era, when Communists and Socialists (the very people who fought vs the Nazis) were being canceled. Luckily, I have friends who do a great job of listening and reciprocating. He needs to find more open-minded people and engage with them. That sucks.

35. A rock star that's not an idiot. That's refreshing.

36. People don't want to hear his opinions. So of course he's lost friends

37. John is right, wake the hell up people.

38. He is not wrong in anything he said and hopefully he never apologizes. The friends and fans he lost are not worth having if they choose to keep blinders on.

39. Remember, the left/the communists/liberals are all well and good AS LONG AS YOU DO AND BELIEVE EXACTLY AS THEY TELL YOU TO!!!

40. World sucks nowadays. Thanks to left wings.

41. he's entitled to his opinion.. i mean.. i don't give a crap.. he sounds like he's more to the right.. which is fine.. some people are to the left which is fine really.. both sides have some general ups and downs in my opinion.. although i mostly lean to the right

42. WHO CARES
