ED has performed in his wedding, he is totally complicit for his sugar daddy. the fact that he remained silent until the pressure was too great means, he doesnt actually side with macklemore.

The problem is means to inflict consequence. Access.

Sheeran is an entertainer, so we as a public mass have obvious ways to impact him - stop listening to his music, and complain to companies that depend on our participation (radio stations) that we don't want to hear him.

Most of us have never heard of Kraft. We do not know what discretionary things we can stop doing to hurt his career. He is a billionaire who owns property and business - so he is less vulnerable overall to public outcry.

And you know who is even less vulnerable and more culpable? The current government of Israel. Why arent we attacking them? They are the ones actually guilty of the genocide. Why? Lack of access.

Really, the only way to systemically support Palestinians is to support democratic candidates at the federal level who will shut down US subsidies to Israel.

But people are terrified of our democratic machine because our populace has put its own maniac and his goons in twice.

Compared to facing the existential dread of likely needing some kind of civil conflict here to desperately try to correct the balance of power to something more humane....

Calling radio stations to complain about Sheeran feels pretty good.

This is only a half truth. It sounds all nice to give Ed a break and put all the blame on Robert Kraft. That's a nice fantasy land to live in, but Ed has a responsibility here, and he is failing to live up to that, and criticism of Ed is completely warranted and justified.

It's just more Epstein-class waffle.

Tax billionaires until there are no none of them left.

It’s like thinking reverse racism is a thing.

What bridges has he built, I wonder.

"Oh well this one time I built a bridge between my accountant, and my finance guy, and this stadium I wanted to buy"

Kraft is an Epstein customer and human trafficking expert. Lowest of the low.

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

We are supposed to expect better for Sheeran, or at least he makes out to be decent

People like Kraft we expect to be dog shit.

Sheeran deserves it…at any time he could stand for something.

Everybody already hated Kraft, he's an Epstein perv.

He deserves it. Check out some of the comments on Macklemore’s YouTube videos. Many of the repeated comments are calling out Sheeran saying “being silent in the face of oppression is choosing the side of the oppressor.” They are right, and a lot of people need to be called out in the same way, and feel the weight of their supposed neutrality. It’s about time some of these “apolitical” arseholes felt some heat.
