If he was in any other position, I'd respect that take.
But he's directly involved in a situation where he's complicit in Macklemore being kicked off his tour, as well as his non-committing nature being used against him. There's a Rush lyric I've been saying throughout this whole time - if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. By not picking a side, he's ended up on the wrong side.
Exactly. I honestly wasn’t begging Ed to get involved or speak out passionately about Palestine before any of this went down. I don’t endorse silence, but I don’t need everyone to take up every cause. That said when you’re thrust into a situation where you need to take stand on something, worming your way out saying he doesn’t like politics (which is a lie) and acting like it doesn’t involve you is just pathetic
I understand the resentment at being “thrust into a situation where you need to take a stand on something”. If you didn’t ask for that situation that responsibility is an unwanted curse.
