“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.”

-Elie Wiesel

Ed Sheeran is a fucking coward that tried to say he can't have Macklemore talking about Palestine because of the children in the audience. The appropriate thing for someone with $400m in the bank would have been to cancel the tour, raincheck or refund the tickets and find decent venue owners for the next attempt.

Also, I'm pretty damn sure that Robert Kraft's stadium gets tax money for something. That should fucking stop immediately.

She’s exactly right too.

He had zero problem being political with Ukraine, when it was pretty universally accepted.

His problem isn’t politics, it’s actually having a backbone and standing up against any sort of adversity.

Kraft also owns the new england patriots. Hate to give those athletes a splash effect of their owner's awfulness. But I also think thats the celebrity world for you. We have to make zionism as toxic in the business community as it already is in public opinion polls. BDS works.

the NFL world is a tiny bit less left leaning than the music world

Yeah, but people will take any reason to hate on the Patriots lol. Patriots being known as pro genocide might turn people anti genocide just because haha.

No. The proper thing to do is take the stage and repeat Macklemores words and cover the song Macklemore covered.

Thank dog I never gave a crap about his music. I look forward to ignoring his future commercial endorsements for CapitalOne Bank and Smirnoff Ice.

The funny thing is that I have no interest in watching ed Sheeran, and here in Australia, pretty sure a lot of people would rather watch Macklemore

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Its probably the only real attention he's gotten for a while.
