(If you don't know Finneas, he's probably the most famous one here. He's Billie Eilish's brother/ producer-writer; he's usually on stage w her and they're seen as a duo unit, but I think he's doing some more solo stuff now. Billie's also spoken in support of Palestine)

Ed Sheeran when his remaining acts, 2 of whom are Irish and the other 2 Gen Zers, don't stand for Zionist censorship: shocked-pikachu

Every time the Irish ones emphasise their Irishness it feels like a subtle fuck you to Sheeran claiming he's culturally Irish.

    Well congratulations Ed

    You decided to stand on the disgusting side of an ethnic cleansing in order to have an act and continue making money, and now you no longer have anyone else with which to make an act

    Maybe you can perform 'Shape of You' or one of the other 25 songs you have that sound like it for 3 hours you dickhead

    I feel like the end result is going to be a bunch of zionist hacks playing as his backing band and opening acts, though maybe this really has gone so badly that he needs to cancel.

    show gets shut down because the bass player is swatted onstage after Hind Rijab Foundation files complaint about her IG posts detailing own gleeful participation in IOF destruction of palestinian housing.

    1,000 Palestinians killed since the supposed ceasefire.

    Holy shit. I never want to hear Pissrealis complain about """terrorism.""" I didn't before. But 1,000+ people is terrorism itself.

    I just realized it's called "The Loop" tour, and the headliner is now shown he's completely "out of the loop" with the present zeitgeist.

    I didn't take this comment seriously at first but yeah it does. All it takes is for people to demand refunds and/or boycott the show to escalate the publicity to the next level. Edit: just saw it on CNN, so we're getting there fast.

    People in the US have been getting there for a while now, the [mainstream pop] culture is being forced to catch up despite the Zionist ambitions of the capitalist class.

    I think the poll i saw today was 65% support ending aid to Israel across the board. Gotta get those numbers up, but they kinda are going up. It is a class based issue that has shattered containment. Even under a "ceasefire" there have been 1000 killed, [CW] including the teenager hit while aiding someone in a double tap strike, in clear video.

    The US establishment is getting weaker every day. It doesnt mean there will be a revolution here, but it certainly makes the global conditions more favorable to the left across the board. As always, the caveat is that the US needs to get through 2028 without going up the fascism ladder (yes there are more rungs).

    It gets a toe in as the class consciousness develops, but im expecting a rapid growth of Democratic Socialism in the next 10 years, followed by a slow trend in that direction as they slowly chip away at the bourgeoisie. If the capitalists dont want to negotiate and purge the demsocs from political power entirely, then we are looking at balkanization and maybe revolution. They would be wise to allow it while taking it as slow as possible (possibly coopting movement to the left and stalling it out, but that's increasingly difficult because the US working class have more control over information channels, tha ks to the internet) .

    My impression has been that a "class flare up" (not a full class war) domestically will keep the US government occupied and take the edge off of foreign ambitions. Hoping to see revolutionary movements prosper in the imperial periphery where we expect to see that sort of activity. The deeper aspects of socialism will likely be forced upon the US after everyone else has moved onward and upward (maybe in the 2060's?).

    I have to say, this is probably the best outcome. I'm not even sure if Ed Sheeran stood on principal it could have been better. Every move he made here only made the situation worse and the fallout have an even bigger reach. Like, I don't know that it would have been talked about in the same way at all.

  • Gonna get a shitty pissreal EDM band to back him and it's going to be nothing but live EDM remixes. The live album won't even go ceramic.

    Fine, I forgive Lukas Graham for 7 Years. I saw their statement on this, and it was pretty cool.

    The only thing I know about Lukas Graham is the song he did for the My Little Pony movie but I'm still very happy to hear he did this.
