I’m starting to get annoyed that Sheeran is getting all the hate, save an equal amount for kraft, people…
Update- folks, this was a joke. I’m not defending Sheeran here, merely also expressing my distaste for the rest of the players in this horrible situation.
That’s exactly it, we expected better. Regardless of if one likes his music or hates it, he’s built a brand on being a decent human being. Basically every story of him before this week has been one of positivity, I’m pretty sure his rider has always been something like a glass of water and packet of crisps, he’s donated a lot to good causes and generally stood up for those who need it.
Billionaires are parasites on society, and Kraft is the kind of man who influence global politics and facilitate ethnic cleansing to line his own pockets, and nobody is surprised by that.
Sheeran showed that the moment anything is on the line, his entire brand of kindness can be bought. I actually believe he thought he was making the non-decision in this, but that was clearly motivated by a desire to keep his brand out of a situation that is basically a for-profit genocide.
Unless he gets up on stage tomorrow’s show and makes a statement with some balls, his entire persona dissolves, and that is his brand. Sadly we all know he won’t.
Others like Kraft will not change if they see consequences. They will double down. Others like ES will see this and recognize they can’t sit idle or try to “be neutral” in today’s world without consequence, and there is a chance they will change.
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.
People like this are always “apolitical” as long as the Republican party is in charge and doing awful shit. They never want to talk about it because they’re aware of the optics.
Exactly. We need to make it uncomfortable to be apolitical. Only those with the most privilege can afford to be apolitical and we clearly have the power to change that.
It absolutely matters, and you’re a fool to ignore this.
Many of us have been paying attention long enough to recognize just how much the average view of Israel has changed, and the response here is a big fucking deal.
The fact that this has so relentlessly and thoroughly fucked Sheeran, is a big fucking deal.
Because this would not have happened even like 3 years ago.

He’s played at private events for Kraft and his agency manager was friends with Epstein & Ghislain
Yeah, Sheeran did some shit too. They have video or pictures on him. That’s why he folded so fast.
People here aren’t smart enough to figure out what you were saying.
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.

I think his music all was taken off the air as well.

It’s expected of Kraft

Well said.
Apolitical = complicit.
Fuck Ed “I’m not complicit” Sheeran.
Apolitical= really means i am conservative, but i want to keep the “peace” and not BITE THE HAND THAT feeds me.

Everybody already hated Kraft, he’s an Epstein perv.
and then there’s also the several cheating scandals in recent memory involving his nfl team (new england patriots)
That too
Shareen did perform at kraft’s wedding, so hes pretty complicit, and likely is getting all these sweet venue deals because of kraft.
Enablers are as bad as the people they are enabling IMO
Kraft is a pos and doesn’t care about us and we can’t affect him much.
People like Sheeran have reach and can actually affect people like Kraft, and Sheeran chose not to do so.
this is a warning to other people of influence. be like Macklemore, not like Sheeran. use your influence for good, not to ignore evil.
I can hate both.
I am an infinte fountain of hate. More than enough for everyone.
I’m annoyed that none of this really matters but it’s all I’m hearing about right now.
The WMD’s make their way to Israel and their genocide continues unimpeded.
It absolutely matters, and you’re a fool to ignore this.

They can both be pieces of shit. We don’t have to choose just one.
i can hate two things at once!
Fuck both of them
Then be annoyed. No one has said massage parlor kraft is getting a pass here.

He doesn’t deserve hate but he showed that he is very out of touch from reality on a sensitive topic.
He deserve hate he told Mac that saying free Palestine hurt the genocide supporters
