    I’m starting to get annoyed that Sheeran is getting all the hate, save an equal amount for kraft, people…

      Shareen did perform at kraft’s wedding, so hes pretty complicit, and likely is getting all these sweet venue deals because of kraft.

      Others like Kraft will not change if they see consequences. They will double down. Others like ES will see this and recognize they can’t sit idle or try to “be neutral” in today’s world without consequence, and there is a chance they will change.

      We are supposed to expect better for Sheeran, or at least he makes out to be decent

      People like Kraft we expect to be dog shit.

      Sheeran deserves it…at any time he could stand for something.

      He deserves it. Check out some of the comments on Macklemore’s YouTube videos. Many of the repeated comments are calling out Sheeran saying “being silent in the face of oppression is choosing the side of the oppressor.” They are right, and a lot of people need to be called out in the same way, and feel the weight of their supposed neutrality. It’s about time some of these “apolitical” arseholes felt some heat.

          Exactly. We need to make it uncomfortable to be apolitical. Only those with the most privilege can afford to be apolitical and we clearly have the power to change that.

      I’m annoyed that none of this really matters but it’s all I’m hearing about right now.

      The WMD’s make their way to Israel and their genocide continues unimpeded.

      Kraft is a pos and doesn’t care about us and we can’t affect him much.

      People like Sheeran have reach and can actually affect people like Kraft, and Sheeran chose not to do so.

      this is a warning to other people of influence. be like Macklemore, not like Sheeran. use your influence for good, not to ignore evil.

      They can both be pieces of shit. We don’t have to choose just one.

      He doesn’t deserve hate but he showed that he is very out of touch from reality on a sensitive topic.
