In episode 187 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas is frustrated by the injection of culture war figures into a charity metal festival. Shell Shock was meant to raise money for veterans, first responders, and others suffering from PTSD.

Now the event is known more for controversy and antagonistic behavior from the two sides, rather than for helping people as intended. Let's discuss the issue together!
