“I would rather take a fucking saw to my own face than deal with that kind of bullshit anymore,” Taylor wrote on a note published on Kerrang!. “It’s not even that I have a problem with their politics: it’s their self-righteous indignation that comes with it.”

The musician continued, saying he will start blocking people who try to debate politics with him, so they “can enjoy their spoilt brat infancy. I’ve got kids of my own, without having to deal with kids that I don’t need to take care of.” 

In 2017, Taylor published America 51, a book about problems he sees in today's American culture, in which he explores topics such as phone addiction, Spotify and appropriation of “metal culture,” as well as politics.
