"Tuberville claimed, however, that affirming parents are guilty of “child abuse.” "

Wouldn’t be suprised if they find child porn in his computer in the next year or so.

Step-gemini what are you doing?

wait he thinks he looksmaxxed? wow…

It is also about AI because they need to have something that removes human accountability.

I mean it is not so far from saying if Robert Kraft hadn’t built/sponsored stadiums than this tour wouldn’t be and Macklemore wouldn’t be able to voice his opinion. Not really, Macklemore would voice his opinion one way or another. That is the difference between people who are not afraid to voice their opinions, they do not need per chance drama to contribute. And we don’t know if Ed organized this tour thinking Macklemore would voice his opinions in such a way and if he knew would he try to convince him not to or not. Again the difference between people who voice their opinions and those who don’t, we can only speculate.

If there is anyone to thank for the publicity Gaza had gained through this, it is Macklemore who has taken a stance which is way more risky for him than is for Ed. He is just a neutral passanger in this drama.

I am sure by just singing about peace Ed has done more than me in promoting peace then I have ever done with continously disseminating facts about what is going on in Gaza in online platforms or participating in demonstrations. But proportionally to our sphere of influence, what he has done is minute compared to mine. I am using most likely the totality of my sphere of influence where he is using literally none to hold state of Israel accountable for the genocide.

For me, if I hold the wrong sign in those demonstrations, my life could be really seriously impacted, I might even lose my job. But is that the most I could do? Absolutely not, I could be in a flotilla but I am not brave (and probably not well connected) enough to do that. But I am definitely doing things that push me and move me out of my comfort zone. Ed? He stands to lose some money and maybe Israeli fans oblivious to atrocities committed by their home goverments. And all he does is make a declaration that looks more like playing both sides.

He can’t even say that there is genocide or that it is the state of Israel who is killing children. The attack of Hamas in the Israel concert was horrific yes, I hope they rot in hell for that. But your opening band gets cancelled because they are pro-palestine, and you lead with that sentence? Tells me what I need to know. He is just dancing around the issue, trying to play both sides so he don’t lose his comforts. Him demonstrating how far reaching zionist lobies are thanks to this rucus is more useful than anything he has ever done. I am sorry my world view is depressing to you but the actual world is even more depressing. If someone is getting rich from selling a view of world that is not, yet actually not doing anything of substance compared to their capability, that is hypocritical and more depressing to me.

“It does not prove the receipents have received them.” That is a relief…

“How is refraining from political statements = taking sides”

It doesn’t have to be taking sides. It is just not a good behaviour.

Imagine someone is walking in the street and another person is killing a child. Is it taking sides to walk by and not even call the police? Maybe not, but it sure as hell is a horrible behaviour. Imagine now this person who does nothing is actually a prominent kid books’ author. That is Ed in a nutshell.

Speak against genocide live on stage? Bash Kraft to the ground live on stage for what he did? Roll a list of brand shares that he has and tell people to boycott them? Declare live on stage that some portion of the concert revenue will be used to support Palestine aid groups? With any of these Kraft would have lost (and depending on how brave you are some would give him grounds for legal repercussions some would not). With the meek response that Ed has given, Kraft has gotten away with what he did. No consequences is how you don’t get peace.

Yeah no, you spend a decade making music about peace and making tons of money out of it. And then at a time when you have enough financial security and popularity you don’t speak against child murderers? You don’t even support your fellow artists who do? Then fuck off with love and peace, just go do country music about your problematic childhood or something. People in worse conditions have had their lives destroyed by zionist lobies because they have spoken against Israel. I don’t expect everyone to be that brave, but if you have built a sphere of influence, fame and lots of money, I would expect you to give back to the community who gave you all these.

Someone should ask him on live whether it is Israel that is killing kids in Gaza and watch him squirm his way out of it.

just apply but have an AI write everything as if you are a suberp candidate, just to increase their workload. In the least they will have to google you to see you don’t exist.

“A week before the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Waters told an RT interviewer that rumours of Russia launching an invasion were “bullshit” and Russophobic propaganda.”

For some reason when people become very successful in one field, they act like experts in everything.

Not really, I am relatively old, have always been like this and the set of people whose suffering would make me happy is small (basically people who fuck up the world at large for personal gain). I haven’t turned into some grumpy mean old guy who fantasizes about making a person who annoys me suffer, or even those who are locally a menace to people around them. Anger issues? Again maybe only against a very small set of people. I don’t think there is anyone around me that would categorize me as particularly angry.

I think the words you are looking might be frustration (at being able to do almost nothing when some people really fuck the world up) and losing hope (that there are just some people who don’t have a single ounce of conscience in them).

You are grossly underestimating the situation when you turn this into an issue of personal hate. We are talking about a person who is damaging the world at large by actively turning younger generation into mysoginist, toxic males, likely committing sex slave trafficking (wouldn’t be surprised if minors involved) and making tons of money out of both. When you turn this into an issue of “hate” then you are either pointing at the wrong target conciously (for whatever reason I can not say) or really haven’t thought this through at all.

fuck him, bury him to the ground, cancel everything he owns

in before some child comes, downvotes people and bullshits about how Elon is actually very clever
