Brakes: "Why Tell the Truth (When It's Easier to Lie)" (Video)

It has become gauche to hate on capitalism lately, which to me seems unfair. I mean, who's standing up for capitalism? Donald Trump? That dude's a tool. Everyone at Goldman Sachs? Those dudes are making so much money right now, they can afford to not care about people who hate capitalism (or human beings, for that matter).

So it's not exactly a bold move for Brakes to go hard at capitalism in the video for "Why Tell the Truth (When It's Easier to Lie)," which features the first literal bull shitting money joke of all time. Brakes frontman Eamon Hamilton is the director and star of the video, which seems like a capitalist move. Cutting out video directors and video actors for more profits is not cool bro. [Pitchfork]
