So just to be clear, the hate is not about what he did, but what he could have done better? The only option for him was to cancel the tour and pay a cancellation fee of around 70 million (10 shows).
Dude organized the whole thing, it naturally received pushback, naturally billionaires did their ultimatums, and now Ed is getting absurd amount of hate because he chose not to pay them 70 million but rather just finish the thing?
Yeah, I still don’t quite get it.
I guess the best option here for everyone would have been to avoid any pro-Palestine artists and it should have been a smooth ride for him, with no hate-wave that’s happening right now.
So you’re then inevitably saying he made the right choice, but simply isn’t the person to yell at others or burn shit down, yet we expect him to, and that’s why we hate him(?)
He could have done anything to fight back, have the lawyers make an argument kraft broke the deal by firing macklemore, so sheeran wouldn’t be liable. Go on stage and maliciously comply with the performance.
I guess you have a point i dont really know the details, did he hire replacement backups?
Maybe if he goes on stage alone and even says “hey i have to do this show or else i owe $70M” then does an uninspired solo acoustic performance, that would be quite admirable.
I guess as far as i know, and happy to be corrected, he got replacements and still does the shows as best he can, which really is the most cowardly thing he could do in the situation.
Knowing Ed, he already did enough by organizing the tour which ended up bringing attention to the cause. I expect nothing more of him. Therefore I cannot hate something that’s fully expectable and normal. What he did was better than not doing anything, and now we (well, you) all hate him for it lmao
The more I think about it, the more fucked up this is. Straight up bullying.
So he organized a tour so that his zionist patrons can make more money, and when they fired the pro-Palestinian musicians that redeemed his capitalist musical tour for zionist profit, he said OK and moved on with the tour.
Well, I’m talking to Lemmy mob. I have not seen on any other platform the amount of bullying and hate I see here, it makes me uncomfortable and I want to call it out.
I mean all his supporting acts had bigger spines.

This is precisely the wrong option.

No.
Supporting the Palestinians is the right choice.
Supporting people supporting the Palestinians is right but to a lesser degree.
Not supporting people supporting the Palestinians is wrong.
Not supporting the Palestinians is wrong to a greater degree.
Ed Sheeran is in camp 3

Yup.
You can’t expect rationality from the Palestine mob.
Well, I’m talking to Lemmy mob. I have not seen on any other platform the amount of bullying and hate I see here, it makes me uncomfortable and I want to call it out.
How do you rationalise pro-genocide?
