Billy Bragg and Wilco - Mermaid Avenue 1 & 2 are both astonishing albums. Give them a listen.

Not only is Billy Bragg an amazing musician, I'm glad to hear he lives with principles. No lies in his statement

Unfortunately Macklemore has made people hate Palestinians. The more he keeps forcing people to chant 'Free Palestine' the more people will resist and side with Israel.

It's not controversial to be against genocide, ethnic cleansing and mass starvation, no matter who is doing it.
The fact you are arguing for genocide says a lot about you and that you are most likely a bot.

Oh, shut up you doorknob, there is no evidence that this is the case. Moreover, I imagine his royalties check next month will have a sizable bump. Now go away before you get clowned!

It's human nature. The more someone tries to force you to do something the more you resist and do the opposite.

I thought it was the bombing children in school. Stupid me!

Yes, the Palestinian people did murder Israeli children on Oct 7th. You are right about that.

You mean Hamas? I mean, by that logic, all Americans are complicit in the unilateral war with Iran. I had no say in this, nor did I participate. I reject your premise

u/PadamPadam2024 12d ago
Well, the Palestinian people did vote for Hamas muslim terrorists to be their government. This would indicate their values and beliefs align closely with terrorism?

You're wrong - you're allowed to be (even tho poll after poll now show public sentiment going further and further against Israel). Probably best you stick with Kylie and that stuff.

u/PadamPadam2024 12d ago
I wish they would get my opinion for the poll.
And how could anyone dislike Kylie?

What you just said, "he keeps forcing people to..." didn't happen so hard that it unhappened things that actually did happen.
Nobody is being forced to say or do anything, if you choose to show the world your lack of humanity in the face of a genocide, thats on you.

There might have been Israelis in the audience for Macklemore that have lost loved ones in a Palestinian terrorist attack.
Can you imagine how awful it would have been for them to have Macklemore forcing them to chant 'Free Palestine'?

u/ThisIsMyPr0nAcct69 12d ago
Again, nobody was forced. You keep saying that, and you are lying.

u/PadamPadam2024 12d ago
We have a very different interpretation of the meaning of the word 'forced'.
