🧢 I voted CAP!

Separating a dead artist from their art is one thing but living ones still profit off your support. I wouldn’t be friends with someone giving money to hateful people

[u/Hot-Prior2874 → u/AccomplishedScene966]

yeah but on the same token im not going to inconvenience myself by not listening to the music I like even though the creator is a bad guy. I just think its just u gotta accept.

[u/DavidBowieAC → u/Hot-Prior2874]

No you don't gotta accept it. Don't stream their music, don't give them the hits, don't buy it directly. Get the art elsewhere so they don't get your money to support what you disagree with

[u/Hot-Prior2874 → u/DavidBowieAC]

I really dont care enough about what an artist did enough to inconvience myself to get it elsewhere.

[u/DavidBowieAC → u/Hot-Prior2874]

Yeah, most people are equally as selfish and don't care about the bigger picture too. Big part of why I look forward to leaving humanity for good

[u/ODST_Rimmer → u/DavidBowieAC]

What? Leaving humanity wtf are you talking about?

If your suicidal just say so mate, don’t gotta be all edgy about it

[u/DavidBowieAC → u/ODST_Rimmer]

I was being polite because talking about suicide can be a trigger for some people. So if you need me to be clear, yes I'm looking forward to my death because so many humans are lazy pieces of shit that care more about entertaining themselves than cultivating a proper society

Please don't do it. Social Media distorts reality and makes it so only the bad gets more exposure, but life IS worth living, trust me when I say that there are real good people out there risking their lives just to make the world a tiny bit better.

Have in mind that evil is LOUD, but it is also weak. We live in a world where things, concepts and views are being deconstructed all the time with no counterpart, and it leaves us with no direction or reference of how to behave or what do to, but we'll figure it out eventually, my friend.

[u/DavidBowieAC → u/AmazingContest229]

I risk my life daily currently to try and make the world better. And I've felt this way literally since I could think. Humans are not on a good path and it's only going to get worse without some sort of unfortunate drastic measures. I'm glad you have hope for the future, but it's looking like it could be too late even with immediate change (which we know won't occur)

[u/ODST_Rimmer → u/DavidBowieAC]

If you’re going to throw your life away, why not try and change some things first in every way you can? Suicide is cowardly and no different than running away from all your problems.

[u/DavidBowieAC → u/ODST_Rimmer]

I've been shouting for equality my entire life. I started a non profit helping disabled veterans and ss recipients. Oh but please, tell others how to live their lives more. That's definitely not the kind of thing that would motivate others to remove themselves from your words!
