Anyone who goes equally hard for every single cause is being insincere. IF you truthfully aren't that invested in palestine, I don't need to hear a statement from you and people are going to sense the insincerity and s*** on you anyway (case in point: ed sheeran)

Well it is legal is it not ?

if you live in the streets and dont care about a genocide and children being maimed you already are beyond the threshold of basic humanity

Imagine being worth hundreds of millions and being able to do something about it and choosing not to

Lmao like just die at this point p**** ass hoe

People should stop being mean to him he’s allowed not to care 🤡

Yea ? Are we not allowed and entitled to what we do care about ?

Sure, but why is Ed Sheeran's opinion on Gaza so important to you in the first place. Do you like his music? Did he disappoint you?

the issue in question is genocide

These little symbolic gestures and callouts are useless unless Macklemore organizes a million man march to the white house

youre an idiot op

Ed has been very vocal about Ukraine so why not Palestine

i dont care if you live or die @op

smd

So what, he's p**** and I was never interested in his pop slop music anyway

I think it's good to stay at least the bare minimum informed on some major issues

And in 2026 I am looking at you sideways if being pro-palestinian isn't the default option for you

But I do think people get a little too lost in the sauce on the internet and expect everybody to be fully tapped in on every issue, and people are just gonna think ur an anti-social weirdo if you talk down at them for not holding some particular position on some s*** they don't even know about

And as important as it is to be aware of what's going on locally, in your national and across the globe in order to inform your worldview, I also don't think humans were ever mean to take in and juggle this much information at once, and so I really do understand people just mentally checking out and focusing on their own s***, especially with how tuned towards negativity social media and the new cycle is

You have brain worms but

1. Literally nobody cared about his opinion until he booted his supporting act off of his tour for supporting Palestine. I have never ever heard anyone wonder what Ed Sheeran’s stance was until he made his stance clear.

2. To the point you’re making in this thread: it’s also “totally valid” for Ed to operate how he wants and for you to feel how you want. His fans and the general population also have the “totally valid” right to think he comes off as a weak bootlicker. The tour’s supporting acts have the “totally valid” right to support Macklemore’s stance.

Is your only concern that people are “too political” about a literal genocide? Because otherwise, I can’t possibly understand what your issue is.

I also think it is absolutely lame that the super millionaire had to both sides something so cut and dry

But I always say, celebrities are not your friends or role models, and expecting them to be perfect moral examples is just setting yourself up for disappointment

I'm not even saying "separate the art from the artist", just that being so wrapped up in what the ultra rich entertainment-person who has nothing in common with you thinks about anything is a relatively new phenomenon and pretty silly to me

But also the entire internet brining down the hammer of god on Ed Sheeran is incredibly funny and deserved so it gets a thumbs up from me 👍

you already made 2 s***ty threads in a row you should slowdown a little bit

smd

His opinion in particular is irrelevant, the fact that his cowardice got in the way of making voices heard about this genocide makes him a piece of s***

This is not 2024 anymore people should feel extremely uncomfortable not being on the right side

the louder the voices the more uncomfortable they will be and greater will be the cost of being on the wrong side of history.

Or are maga idiots the only one that should conduct boycotting campaigns ? What’s your point ? Do you not get activism ?

If he truly didn’t care it should’ve been a non issue for a colleague to send a peaceful message. It’s not like Macklemore was like kill Jewish people

a person with a platform should use their voice

I'm not a fan of performative activism without teeth. Instead of pouring all that energy into a pop slop artist, direct that anger at someone who can actually change things

You used more energy writing this thread than any of us calling out ed sheeran

It does not take energy, it revigorates us and encourages us to see that there are consequences to being a piece of s***.

There is no single person that can change things, change comes from collective consciousness which is why trying to smother it is such a big deal.

Stop concern trolling and get off the internet

@op no one really cared about Ed not saying anything.

It was him not having his friend's back that was the problem lol.

Like what do you care whether activism is performative or not as long as it keeps the word going is this high school lmao are you gonna call us posers next

"if ur not the perfect activist you're a poser and should stfu"

clown s*** lmao get bent ya c***
