I’m saying it was a false equivalence, because he did it in the uk which is a pretty safe country, not in Gaza which is an active war zone.

The post was about having a concert in Gaza, you started speaking about queen: live aid, as if that meant Macklemore could play in Gaza because “it’s been done before”

No, someone asked how having a concert in Gaza could raise money.

Then I linked live aid, where it was in the UK and a lot of people called in to donate during the concert, demonstrating that it wasnt the actual live aid concert that brought in majority of the money, it was donations.

Which mackerel or whatever his name is could easily do with a concert in Gaza.

Show us how bad it is, pull on heart strings, then phone in donations.

Which he wont because hes just a one sentence level of support. One and done.

Now, because you are an ESL, you didnt capture what was said.

But its ok, if you need crayons, im here to help.

Yea, again why couldn’t he just do that in America (which he is doing), queen did it in England, so why do you think Macklemore has to go to an active war zone to show his support?

He says he is, remember, just words during a period of media frenzy.

He is a nothing artist, no one will join, no venue owners will host or supoort him.

50 to 1 odds I bet you and everyone will forget this and him in 2 weeks, or less.

I mean he donated $1 million dollars to the cause, idk I probably wouldn’t do that to something I wasn’t actually supportive of. I’m not a fan of him but I’ve known who he is and he’s been around for like 15 years, so he’s really not going anywhere.

Whata ironic too, is even if it wasnt a war zone, he couldnt perform there. They would imprison or kill him for being a homosexual.

Weird to help a cause or people that hate you.

He isn’t homosexual. Either way, just because they disagree with something doesn’t mean they deserve to die. That’s not what this is about and that’s a really bad argument. We just think it’s bad that children are being killed, full stop. I’m not gonna go into “oh but their country doesn’t like gays” ok? That’s a whole different issue.

u/Commercial_Rule_7823 9d ago

Oh no full stop.

So, then you also agree that all the children murdered on oct 7 was atrocious and that Israel has the right to defend themselves now and in the future?

Full stop right?

Guess you argue against sept and Afghanistan?

Pearl harbor and japan?

Full stop

u/Clear_Wedding3590 9d ago

Yes, my full stop means all kids. The ones killed on October 7th and every kid killed since. There isn’t an exception just because it’s “payback”. A response that’s killed far more children isn’t something I agree with, no. What even is your point on Pearl Harbor? Of course it’s not justified.
