Neil Young, the aging folk-rock icon who’s spent decades crooning about environmental doom and corporate greed, just pulled off his latest virtue-signaling stunt: gifting his entire music catalog to the people of Greenland for free. In a move that’s equal parts eccentric philanthropy and publicity ploy, Young announced he’s made all his tunes— from Heart of Gold to his more recent anti-oil rants—available without charge to Greenlanders, ostensibly to counter the island’s digital access woes amid climate change pressures. But he didn’t stop there; he laced the gesture with fiery blasts at Amazon, Jeff Bezos (whom he accuses of cultural gatekeeping via streaming monopolies), and none other than President Donald Trump, whose infamous 2019 quip about buying Greenland clearly still burns in Young’s tie-dye soul. It’s classic Neil: wrapping personal grudges in a bow of faux altruism.

Dig deeper, and this reeks of the Hollywood elite’s disconnect from real-world priorities. While Young’s handing out free folk anthems to a population of 56,000 in one of the least digitally starved places on Earth (thanks to modern satellite tech), everyday Americans grapple with skyrocketing costs for basics like food, fuel, and yes, firearms training amid rising crime. Greenland’s got bigger fish to fry—namely, fending off actual territorial threats from powers like China eyeing its rare earth minerals—than streaming Harvest on repeat. Young’s Trump jab is particularly tone-deaf; the man who wanted to buy Greenland for strategic U.S. defense reasons was safeguarding Arctic security, including potential 2A-aligned outposts against foreign encroachment. Imagine if that deal had gone through: American hunters and shooters could’ve been trekking those icy expanses, bolstering Second Amendment freedoms in a new frontier.

For the 2A community, this is a stark reminder of the cultural chasm. Leftist celebrities like Young funnel their wealth into symbolic gestures that ignore self-defense realities—Bezos’ Amazon might be a monopoly bogeyman to him, but it’s delivering AR-15 parts and ammo to law-abiding patriots nationwide. Trump’s Greenland vision? A pro-American foothold that could’ve expanded shooting sports and resource independence, fortifying our rights against globalist overreach. Young’s stunt isn’t just irrelevant; it’s a distraction from the fight to protect our guns while elites play Spotify Santa in the Arctic. Pro-2A folks, keep tuning out the noise—your Second Amendment is the real catalog worth preserving.
