I'm enjoying these cultural touchstones where "I'm not political" is clearly demonstrated as both political and feckless important for this country to get past the "no politics at the dinner table" or my "favorite celebrity shouldn't 'get political'" bullshit if we're to behead some oligarchs

theguardian.comEd Sheeran wants to stay out of politics. By quitting his tour, his support acts have exposed the hollowness of neutralityBy standing behind support act Macklemore, who was removed from the tour for his vocal support of Palestine, these artists are demonstrating the self-sacrifice necessary to stand against those crushin...

I still can't believe that 90 million of us didn't even bother to vote in 2024, especially after Trump called COVID a hoax and left over a million people dead. That really should have been incentive enough for All to 'Be into politics'

Only the very wealthy can "stay out of politics". Their interests are well catered for and protected. The rest of us have to fight for any scrap of political justice we can get.

His claims of neutrality fall flat when he has done several other events, signed petitions and been very transparent in his support of other political activities. Just not THIS activity. Which confirms by default, his support of genocide.

"I agree with Dante, that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality. There comes a time when silence becomes betrayal." MLK

We never will - bullying those on the fringes while turning a blind eye to the real culprits is much more British and why we deserve cunts like Farage - death by social media while surrendering nothing yourself is the way forward

I don't want to behead OR punish the Filthy Rich. They ARE The AmeriKKKan Dream. God bless them. I want them to PAY ALL THEIR TAXES and DONATE liberally to charity. MY Perfect Billionaire: #MACKENZIEBEZOS. She never went to Epstein Island either. She's deeply grateful to her country for her success.

“Staying out of politics” is a perfectly reasonable thing to do when the only difference between the two sides is their belief on what the optimal corporate tax rate is. Unfortunately we don’t live in that timeline.

I'm so sick of maga saying that. I hardly followed the news until the Sociopath came down that escalator. Now I could sub for Nicole Wallace on a moments notice. It's a moral obligation to pay attention and resist in times like these.

We have a political arm out there either calling for or actively enacting remigration. History shows us where remigration leads. I do not have a political difference with someone who wants remigration, I have a difference of base morality, and I will act accordingly.

Free Palestine? There is no Palestinian state. There never has been a Palestinian state. Rabin lost his life for that possibility. But Arafat walked away from the possibility of a Palestinian state. Saying “free Palestine” means destroy Israel. Grow the fuck up.

So let Russia take Ukraine then.. And be hapoy.. Thats your argument huh. Grow up while telling childish stories without any basis in reality .. To excuse a slaughter of innocents for Greed of zionism. Gtfo. Nazism never died huh.. You part of Azov too 🤮

Oh my goodness, shut the fuck up with this dumb straw man shit. The situation with Gaza versus Israel is fucked. Both sides killed each other a lot, but right now one side clearly has won militarily and is continuing to kill innocent people. Genocide and conquest need to stop.

I hate people who say that. Literally everything about our way of life is inherently political because we all have a very real say in how it all works. Better or worse healthcare? Political. Price of gas? Political. Union exists at your work? Political. People need to grow up & have real convos.

To those defending Macklemore: would you defend him if he went on anti black rants in his performances? how about anti Asian? how about anti Arab? how about you anti LGBTQ? so why do you defend him when he goes on a Jew hating rant?

Ed has gone & done a Ratner Destroyed his brand Destroyed his career Oh well A lesson for Americans Gaze in wonderment at the power of solidarity The support acts & Sheeran's own band stood up at great personal financial cost Y'all should learn to do that for your immigrant neighbours

With the state of things, we can’t afford to be non-political. I’m pissing off my family members every day and I do not care. I’m fighting for this country for their fucking children not even my own but we can’t afford to stay silent!

You can’t escape POLITICS in this era. It’s hypocritical & foolish for anyone in the entertainment industry to think they can. I have zero respect for anyone who thinks they can proclaim to be Switzerland in a time of questionable morality. The United States is on the brink of a moral precipice.
