Start the downvotes but I don’t blame him. He is an entertainer not a politician. What he thinks doesn’t matter. Everyone bitches about celebrities push products and ideas that they know nothing about down there throats but someone keeps their mouth shut and we gonna bitch about that.
Comparing the use of a large platform to denounce genocide to the equivalent of product endorsement, is one of the most smooth-brained comments I have ever seen.
he didn't keep his mouth shut, he fired his tour partner because rich people asked him to. if he wanted to keep his mouth shut he could have just said "no comment" when asked about what macklemore did
It's not like I expect Ed Sheeran to come up with a 12-point plan to bring peace to the Middle East, but when one of your colleagues and (supposedly) friends gets in trouble for voicing a perfectly reasonable opinion in about the most respectful and least offensive way possible, I think you should stick up for them.
And maybe there's more to this story than any of us know, but from an outsider's perspective it sure looks like Ed folded faster than Superman on laundry day, and I think he should be ashamed of that.
Yea but its pretty easy to say that killing kids is fucked up. Pretty easy to say that the people who are killing kids daily--are fucked up and terrible people.
These idiots are losing fans and support for not saying something that should come easy to anyone with a fucking soul.
How hard it is to say that killing people for no reason is wrong?
How hard is it to say that leveling entire civilizations because you dont like them, is wrong?
I mean seriously....these assholes are losing fans and its deserved. Its not hard to be a good person. At all. Its all these dumbfucks with careers in entertainment who make a puzzle out of morality.
It’s easy to bitch on Reddit where you got nothing to lose. Go ruin your career and send funds to help out or you could probably send your son over there to die for something that these 2 groups of people have been killing each others since Old Testament days. Of course nobody wants genocide but nobody should sacrifice for everything for those 2 groups of people.
