Supporting Palestine is actually a far more popular sentiment than what the rich care to realise. They just don’t want to lose the wallets of tiny minority of 20% of bigots as potential customers. It’s like with many businesses complying with conservative backlash but end up losing more customers and revenue for bending over. Target complied with anti-DEI measures from Trump, while Costco didn’t. Guess which of the two got more customers. That’s why the accusations of “go woke, go broke” does not hold water at all.
I think it’s cuz they were so successful with the Bud Light thing… but only severe rednecks drink that shit, so of course the boycott was successful! There was no one on the other side who cared enough about ANYTHING to drink that swill in support!
Out of all the gold tier comments from this fiasco to repost and upvote, y’all chose a bottom of the barrel threads comment stating the obvious.
The way things are going, you’re going to turn this guy into a superstar.
The entire thing comes at a rather unfortunate time. He was trying to save up for a second private jet, and this is exactly why he always said it’s better to leave politics out of it.
That said, it’s shocking that a bland artist making unmemorable over produced garbage has no moral spine either.
I really wish they would stop calling him an artist. He’s a businessman, like the Zuck, like Musk and like Trump. And this is how a businessman reacts when something is bad for business.
This whole thing is even more ridiculous. This backlash isn’t happening because he was silent on the genocide, he’s been silent on it for years. It’s happening because he as the headliner allowed his tour mates to be excluded due to their speech. At no point did he need to denounce the genocide, he just had to speak up internally and say “well that’s Macklemore’s opinion on it and I’m not going to stifle a fellow artist’s speech like that”.
If only shit like this came back to hurt zuck, musk, or trump. Then you realize tons of it does, but it somehow goes unoticed with them for some reason.
Oh they notice. It infuriates them that they can’t mind control everyone into loving them like they have with the MAGA movement.
