Kraft said in a statement on Instagram: “I have dedicated much of my life to building bridges between all people. I believe deeply that all lives are worth protecting.
That’s like saying ‘all lives matter’ in response to the Black Lives Matter movement; it’s disrespectful of the point being made.
Kraft is an Epstein customer and human trafficking expert. Lowest of the low.
It’s like thinking reverse racism is a thing.
He very literally tried to pull a “I can’t be racist, I have black friends” because he’s worked with a couple people who happen to be Palestinian
i only ever heard white people(who are racists) use the term of reverse racism, its likely they need to be a victim.
Building bridges between the fascists and everyone else, so the fascists can do their thing
100% disingenuous word salad bullshit. Not even worth reading.
I hate how the Right can’t understand context.
“What? You think only Black Lives Matter? ALL LIVES MATTER! Wait I’m the bad guy for saying all lives matter? What the fuck?” - The Right said not understanding what Black Lives Matter means
Tbf the left has always been shit at messaging
He’s saying he’s built bridges with murderers.
israel lives matter more to him. he became salty and got a bunch of other stadiums to ban macklemore. Oh and Kraft is on EPstein files too. apparently ed shareens manager is also in it?
the zionist entity sheeran is so cancelled at this point they have hired pikers chinese producers for content and the investment in the gaza re-education tunnels is almost complete
my hope is that with this cultural victory pop folk rock will be truely nine to five only
Everything I’ve ever learned about Ed Sheeran has been against my will.
Imagine getting cancelled in 2026 for being a billionaire’s bitch.
dint he grow up wealthy at least thats what i heard. of anything rich children who grew up with rich parents, never want to be “poor”
There’s very few people who have made it to where he is in the music industry who didn’t. Not for any particularly nefarious reason (although there’s usually a bit of nepotism involved as these things often go), but because working in the music industry fucking sucks. You make almost no money when coming up and balancing a full time job with recording and playing shows means you miss out on opportunities all the time. Coming from a rich family who can support you while you focus on music full time drastically increases your chances.
“removed from the airways” at one radio station in Ireland
better than none, hopefully the first of many
This is the way.
I feel a tiny sorry for Ed (not that a guy who has an estimated £400 million net worth needs my sympathy), but he’s just some
poorrich schlub who’s been planning to tour around a bit, play some uncontroversial songs, earn another hundred million, mind his own business and then… kapow!.. he’s front and centre in a fight that’s he’s clearly ill-equiped to even interact with.“Whuh? I just wanted to play some bland music and earn enough money to buy myself a ginger island. What the flip is going on?”
kapow!.. he’s front and centre in a fight that’s he’s clearly ill-equiped to even interact with.
You say that like artists - especially Irish artists - haven’t been front and center on agitating against the Palestinian Genocide for years now.
He organized tour full of pro-Palestinian activists, ffs. Mackelmore isn’t some new figure, either. Jumping on popular leftist initiatives is kinda his brand.
If Sheeren had formed a band with Greenpeace, would he be blindsided when they started talking about the environment?
Like, I’m half inclined to give him some credit just for putting this thing together. Better to have it implode on you than to never tour at all.
Did Ed suicide bomb his career in the name of Palestine? Maybe
Maybe I’m reading either comment wrong, but I think the person you’re replying to was being ironic. Perhaps.
Ah, I’ve seen this take posted a few times sincerely.
Good, Macklemore makes better music anyway
I think most stations stopped playing him voluntarily ages ago
They were never included in my personal library and they never will.
I’m old but Ed Sheeran has been around long enough and is big enough for at least one of his songs to float into the pop culture reflecting pool so I’d at least recognize a chorus or a lyric or two, but nothing seems to have stuck. Again, I’m old and don’t listen to new music anymore. I find musical nuggets in the past now, before I was born. Louis Prima rocks! Will Ed’s music stand the test of time?
I have a burning hatred for “pop” so I’m very biased on this, but, no. All his songs I’ve been exposed to (and right now I can only think of “shape of you”, after looking for track names) are, in my opinion, forgettable at best.
This is good for several reasons
I know exactly one 2012 song from Macklemore and one 2017 song from Ed Sheeran. And that is the extent of my expertise on their biographies.
Every time I think I’ve head the last there’s more. I’m waiting for the next one to say Ed Sheeran run through high speed rotating blades over MM situation.
I don’t love him not taking the moral side, but he’s getting cooked because he doesn’t want to stand up to his keepers.
he’s getting cooked because he doesn’t want to stand up to his keepers.
And because he threw his friend under the bus rather than stand up and use the power he has and lastly because history will judge him complicit through silence.
he threw his friend under the bus rather than stand up and use the power he has
Incoming: Ed Sheeran and Jack Black duet.
History will judge him as complicit in silencing Mackelmore while spreading genocide denial as justification.
He didn’t just be silent because his money was threatened, he made the decision to kick Macklemore of his tour (silence him). He isn’t just a coward who stands by and says nothing, he’ll cover your mouth and pull you back to prevent you from speaking.
Let’s get throught the people not speaking with silence then come back to that. The fucking active players are the real problem and using people are proxy to do something about it is weak.
edit: let’s earn these downvotes, You’re going after one idiot that won’t use his money and burn his career down to protest instead of going after the government that’s doing the dirty work and all the other governments actually funding this bullshit with your very tax money. Yeah, he’s a pussy, but what does that make the people who go after him because he’s an easier target than the ones doing and funding the genocide?
man, I hope this is widespread and permanent. Let us never hear his music again.
A shame it’s taken this long to get his “music” off the airwaves. It should have happened years ago.
