So Ed Sheeran is a piece of shit, eh?

TIL Macklemore is based

Speaking up for Palestine isn't antisemitism.

Saying that Israel is a genocidal country isn't antisemitism either.

Stokeholders?

The stakeholder has a name.

Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour after he says New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft organized a boycott among stadium owners over the rapper’s remarks in support of Palestinians.

Awful nice of the corporate media outlet to hide the name of one side while blasting the other.

Fuck Sheeran. Rat-faced little bitch

Talk about being on the wrong side of history, Ed and Pink.

Fuck ed sheeran

Thank GOD these Venues are going after ANTI SEMETISM by going after artists who Have songs LITERALLY PRAISING HITLER! say Bombing Children is WRONG!

Sorry Ed, but there's no such thing as being "apolitical" anymore. Willingness to ignore the current reality is a political statement in and of itself, and a terrible one at that. If you aren't willing to seize this moment and stand up for what is right, you can go the fuck away.

I get that it wasn't his decision whether or not Macklemore got booted, but it was his choice not to go down with the anti-genocide ship, and he did so because he doesn't want to lose the pro-genocide cash.

People on Lemmy suck, Internet ... never change

Macklemore explained that the decision came after a week of “difficult conversations” with Sheeran, a friend of 13 years whom he considers a “brother”, though “as I told Ed multiple times on the phone, our friendship can’t change my responsibility to tell the truth about what happened.” According to Macklemore, Sheeran was under pressure from stadium owners rallied by Robert Kraft – the owner of the New England Patriots and their Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, where Sheeran was next slated to play – to drop Macklemore from the tour, lest the English singer be barred from their venues. “Ed was in a fucked up position,” the rapper wrote. “He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it had never been before.

TL;DR Ed Sheeran is a fascist.

Ed Sheeran should drop out too, the article doesn't say it was his decision so he should show solidarity. Or Sheeran should do to his next show but show the same video Macklemore showed, then show it at every performance on tour

“stakeholders” decided this, btw, not necessarily Sheeran himself.

reminder that capitalism only ever thinks about “stakeholders” and “profit”

I'm eagerly awaiting the free speech defenders of the right to take up this cause!

"Excuse me. We don't want people who are anti-genocide here. This is a pro-genocide event only! I brought my kid to the show and he was horrified by people who don't want to slaughter and maim children and flatten homes!"

Seriously they keep calling it anti-semitism, when in reality there is no act that is more antisemitic than genociding semetic people.

They also call it pro-hamas , or even pro-palestine, when in reality no it's not pro-hamas and not even pro-palestinians, because there are palestinians who are pro-genocide. There is a group of palestinian armed malitia trained and weaponized by the IOF inside Gaza, and there is the PLO who are paid by the IOF and carry out assassinations under IOF commands against palestinians themselves.

They also call it anti-Judaism, when no... it's anti Zionism.

So it is an anti-genocide at worst, and anti-zionism at best. And Ed Shreen is a twat. and so is this pos genocidal hypocrite cunt Pink. I hope their fans can see through these soulless genocidal sellout hollywood gouls for who they really are, and shun them for the entirety of their careers.

Ed Sheeran could have done the better thing and used his platform for good hadn't he been a spineless coward.

Ed Sheeran here had a chance to be a hero to everyone who believes in humanity and human rights. He could have cancelled the tour for all the venues being explicitly pro-genocide and moved the concerts to other venues in the area. He would have made less money, yes. It would cost him a few fans, but he would've gained so many mlre. Instead he caved like a building built out of cotton candy in a short rain shower. And now I've sanitized my playlists from p!NK and Ed Sheeran music, these two have shown themselves to have no values. P!NK being the worst by far by actively picking the side of the oppressor. I'm done with her. Fuck Israel. Free Palestine one hundred times!
