it was the patriot owner that banned him, and he snitched on him to other stadium owners to black list him permanently.
anti-GENOCIDE is considered controversial nowadays…
In 2003, it freaked me out when common Republicans toed the line regarding the torture matter, simultaneously saying torture isn’t wrong, and waterboarding isn’t torture. Some right-wing personalities volunteered to get waterboarded to show it wasn’t so bad. When SERE indulged them they cracked inside a few minutes.
But yeah, half of the United States decided that torture was AOK. It was fucked up. It also shows some people only have integrity when it’s about their own fam. When it’s about outsiders, they’ll endorse genocide if their lives are inconvenient.
MAGA is coming for liberals. Where a liberal is anyone who isn’t MAGA.
Are you saying our ALLIES aren’t allowed to freely kill whoever they don’t like!? You monster!
Well Ed fucking sucks. This is more than just passively looking away. Silencing criticism of a genocide makes you actively complicit.
History will remember people like this.
And Macklemore is cool. He might be cringy, but he’s genuine and I like him. Saw him live once and it was one of the best shows I ever saw.
I didn’t like him because his line on his hit song about wearing fur, which I am against. But now, I am 100% behind this muthafucka.
If it’s the line and song I’m thinking it is, it’s about finding an assortment of things, including a second hand fur already at a thrift store, and giving it a second life by assembling an eclectic wardrobe out of what’s present. I get that it still produces an image, but it’s not driving demand in the same way.
Both sides coward
What did they think he was going to do? Palestine has been Macklemore’s whole thing for a few years, now. When they booked him in the first place, did they think he’d just play Thrift Shop 5 times a night or something?
I think they probably risked it because someone on Ed’s team (or Ed himself) likes him and they were hoping there would not be as much pushback or that it would not lead to the label or whoever their bosses are to be assholes like this. Seems like they were just trying to push the envelope and weren’t successful unfortunately.
I wouldn’t say he’s a dick, but he’s a coward.
Yesterday I had no opinion on either. Today I have a higher opinion of Macklemore than Ed Sheeran.
I got burned out by the thrift shop song but check out his song “Same Love.” Dude has been a real one since the start, Palestine is just another cause he’s on the right side of.
“For those who like the same sex had the characteristics. The right wing conservatives think it’s a decision, that can be fixed with some treatment and religion.”
