Kanye put out a song called heil Hitler and still sells out stadiums.

Ed will be ok.

And the same venues that banned Macklemore didn't say a thing about booking Nazi Ye.

They're telling us who they are.

Good on Ed's band and the other opening acts for standing on principle over money.

Crazy world, Americans are now best buddies with the people who brought down the WTC too.

We were then and before as well, it's very important to us the petrol dollar remains in USD. Saudi Arabia could dismember a journalist alive with a bone saw and we'd look the other way. Oh wait.

They're pro making money. They have no real principles.

They don't care about antisemitism, they care about financial support to Israel's current government.

No. The point is they have no principles, but are heavily invested in the Israel lobby

This is the problem with labelling everything and everyone you disagree with a ‘Nazi’. It just doesn’t quite have the same effect these days.

Those are not equivalent! Kanye apologized publicly and everyone knows he struggles with severe mental illness. There is a cost to genius but that’s a different discussion. The Ed/Mack situation is present. Kanye was obviously cancelled for a while there. But, personally, I can’t stand cancel culture, so I’m relieved that Ed won’t be significantly impacted by this situation. I’m not an Ed fan, necessarily, but I don’t think trudging through this space for years should be taken away with one bad decision, even through the lens that this is his fault somehow.
