What he fails to realize (apparently), is that the moment Macklemore did that, and the stadium owner made him make a choice, he no longer had the luxury of being apolitical. The act of complying is a choice and taking a side. This is especially true for a guy like him who almost certainly has fuck you money and can take the hit.
You could excuse a person who can’t afford to lose their livelihood (we are all trying to survive). But him? Boy oh boy did he choose a side.
Yup, this guy did not meet the moment at all by standing up for free speech against rich oligarchs. Maybe he truly believes his “boths sides” BS, lord knows there’s plenty out there, but damn when you can’t even muster a defense for your friend of 13 years when like you said, he’s got fuck you money. That combined with the BS apolitical both sides thing, says a whole ton.
I truly hope he finds out.
Honestly I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. In some interviews he admits he’s a luddite. One time he said he hates social media and emails and it’s hard for his staff to get a hold of him. I could 100% believe that his media people bungled this up and he is completely clueless about this and probably all of world politics all while sitting in an ivory tower, strumming out another derivative love song.
He should probably ask around or do some research before publicly both-sidesing a genocide then
Oh come on it is on regular news. The guy would have to be a clueless moron to not have any hint of an idea of whwtnis going on.
