It's fair to be critical of his cameo on Game Of Thrones but this is some crazy misdirected hate.

Let me guess, Zionist control over trending topics is trying to redirect anger that should be focused on those actually doing the genocide, instead of trying to turn this into some ongoing story.

Makes no sense and no one should go to his shows... Just because he's not a very good musician.

    The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'survive.' The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don’t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won’t take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don’t like to make waves—or enemies.

    Take note, Switzerland. Neutrality is a cop out.

    If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

    Apathy feeds the oppressor.

    On the one hand, no one should be taking their political opinions from fucking celebrities. On the other hand, being against genocide is a pretty easy one to get right and he still can't manage to do it...

    Political opinions from uninformed or biased celebrities no, but at the same time it's easier you somebody who already has a following to make that push in the right (or wrong) direction than some random nobody.. This is especially true in the US where people are being actively oppressed by their own government, as it's a significantly harder for ICE etc to suddenly disappear somebody famous versus a random "dissident".

    My problem with the situation is not so much the celebrities speaking out. They can say whatever they want, it's their platform. My problem is with all the people listening and forming their own opinions around that. There are (or at least should be) better informed sources to learn about problems like this from. Media is fucked up too though so at this point I guess gather information from wherever you can.

    Yeah if you're solely basing your opinion on what some famous dude with no other credentials says then that's a bad idea. I still try and listen to the professionals, but they are being suppressed especially in the news. Still, it seems people are as much likely to migrate towards celebrities that seem to share their political views as they are to be informed by them.

    If people are going to follow celebrities for politica informationl, maybe they would be better off to go with Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine). He at least he has a degree in Political Science, and a decent wit to go with it.

    Ahahaha!

    All of the remaining support acts on Ed Sheeran's US tour have quit, after the rapper Macklemore was dropped from the line-up for making pro-Palestinian remarks on stage.

    Among them were Finneas, the brother of pop star Billie Eilish, who said in a statement: "Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed."

    Irish singer-songwriter Aaron Rowe and Danish band Lukas Graham also announced their departure. Irish folk band Beoga, who perform with Sheeran on stage every night, dropped out too.

    I did not foresee Isreal/Palestine unseating Ed Sheeran's popular image, but here we are.
