    The strange thing for me is: it's not like Macklemore has been silent about his views on the Gaza genocide until now. "Fucked up" is not a very subtle song and has been released over a year ago

    It's twofold, oppressors want to scare anyone from making public statements about the genocide and want to show they have the power to do so no matter the venue.

    And it's also different in that this is a massive tour with a massive audience throughout all of the US where they are actively trying to shut down any talk about the Israeli genocide of Palestinians that the US supports.

    More like in the Lemmyverse: Did you know you ever liked a song or been calm before? Well that’s a genocide and you need to die or get ignored.

    You ever not condem someone ? Then it’s your fault for genocide and you need to go fuck yourself while the entire world folds and screams.

    Do you care about genocide? Well we’re going to make it such that your care is nothing but noise and all this is noise as well. Genocide genocide genocide.

    Genocide! Also genocide. What cause what you care… prob genocide so shut up.

    Does genocide matter? Well I think so but Lemmy can’t care less cause GENOCIDE!!!!!

    Same reason I’m downvoted. I mentioned addintional aspects to this scenario… but genocide!

    The virtue signaling is real, especially among people who aren't going to lift a finger to actually do anything about their professed beliefs.

    You ever replied before? Thats a genocide!

    Wake up people the genocide is next to you! The genocide is in your pocket it’s in your bed! GENOCIDE!!!!!!

    The Lemmy in your pocket is real. The genocide exists in your mouth and you are a piece of shit for just absorbing media!

    I’ll be the first to mention how the genocide is real but downvote me because the genocide is in your mouth and nose and face and your a genocidal manic for listening to rhe write station! -Lemmy

    I was just reacquainting myself with some of his music, and I have to say, it’s good. It’s always been good: extremely well-produced, well-made, and empathetic.

    But it has most certainly aged out of its time, and not particularly gracefully. The Heist, for example, is an immaculate representation of the early 2010s.

    He’s adapted somewhat to this decade, but you can still feel the remnants of his heyday.

    That being said, I fully stand with him and support the statements he made on stage.

    You know what? Can't Hold Us is a good song.

    Not good enough to get me to give his other music a try, but still.

    You know, I forgot he also did that Same Love song, so I'm not surprised after remembering that.

    TBH I barely ever heard it before, and never knew who any of these people were or what they did. Apparently some of them are evil, nobody will shut to about it, and I still don't know why any of them mattered in the first place.

    This is the oldest I've felt all day.

    More like:

    Living? Well that’s a capitalistic crime I’ve never been crucified before…

    Or “slightly being okay without condemning everything I know to the death penalty?” “Well that’s a capitalist crime I didn’t know before…
