Ed Sheeran is a cunt

Disgusting that the Zionist lobby now even have power over stadium owners.

And fuck Ed Sheeran. He had the chance to do something absolutely HUGE in this moment, but of course he chickened out.
 
Surely nobody expected different from Sheeran

His whole CAREER is based on a MILQUETOAST persona
 
disgraceful but what else would you expect from the pro-Israel lobby in the US?

these people are lunatics. all that matters is the right to sell arms to Israel.
 


I sympathise with Ed Sheeran (that's a sentence I never thought I'd write) who clearly found himself between a rock and a hard place here but WHAT A TERRIBLE STATEMENT.
 
The more he reaches the more he alienates both sides. I would have sympathy, but it’s ED SHEERAN.
 
I do not have anything even approaching sympathy for him. He has the money to absorb cancelled concerts, not that they would actually be cancelled because the venues would fold when thousands of fans are blaming them and not Sheeran for their cancelled concert

I'm not so sure. The people who run these venues basically have a monopoly. Many of them have been publicly funding every nefarious cause under the sun for years and nobody's going to not see BEYONCÉ because the only venue in their state is owned by someone problematic.
 
I get that, but I guess the point though is that Ed the Beige Wet Lettuce could have publicly criticised the venue owners for getting involved, and getting him involved, and influencing the line up of an event that has already sold lots of tickets. That’s not being political that’s calling out blatant interference on the back of a personal agenda. He had the chance to not only do the right thing but shift the balance of blame onto the right people for once. He chose instead to “remain neutral” while simultaneously throwing shade at Macklemore via the multiple instances of “disagreement” in his statement.

No doubt he’s playing the smart game - it’s been a big contribution to someone so ordinary becoming so incredibly successful
 
I agree with Fanny re 'war' in the thread title by the way. Even 'situation' would be better...
 
Let's play how many of your contacts liked Ed's post

4 for me 🥴
 
as if any of them read beyond the first slide!

slightly gagged at "I have my own personal views. Just because I choose not to speak publicly..."

read the room sis.
 
lol looks like all his other support acts have dropped out now
 
It's difficult because on the one hand HURRAH for the support acts standing firm when they can much less afford their morals

BUT amidst Ed's otherwise mealy pissweak statement, there is ONE point that I can understand. As everyone has pointed out - Ed can afford to cancel. But his doing so does also trash the incomes of a lot of crew and support staff who aren't millionaires. Would it be right to make them all pay for your principles? The answer may very well still be YES, but it's not as easy a decision as we assume.

I do think the evil stadium owners should really be the ones feeling the IRE

I think he could easily cancel the dates and pay the crew for the remainder of the shows.

Ed Sheeran has an estimated net worth of about £370 million, which is roughly $350 million to $400 million USD. This fortune places him among the richest musicians in the United Kingdom
 
This reminds me of the John Galliano MET exhibition, it was cancelled because lots of important donors threatened to pull out.
 
good lord :D they should rebrand it something quaint like the Silent Zionist and His Guitar Tour

And I remember being accused of defending Trump even though I've disapproved of just about everything about him. Let's not pretend EITHER of those accusations actually mean anything.

Your much greater offense was your readiness to substitute a personal anecdotal experience for actual expertise. Your subjective experience doesn't automatically make you an authority. This fallacy has basically become part of the modern Liberal playbook. Catherine Liu (an established Leftist Marxist critic herself) has critiqued this very well for years. It's an insult to both your experience and the study of politics.

But even worse is the indignity of being lectured by you about Middle Eastern suffering. As if my experience is so short on pain and misery that I need yours too. You know how Americans openly hate their country because they can't get universal healthcare and DEI? Take that, multiply it by about 10 Trillion and you've got how I feel about the ME. On a good day, I feel nothing for the ME.
The second I was BORN my country wanted me dead. I've lost family to both Iraqi and Irani terrorists. I've been religiously indoctrinated in Iraqi public schools. I've been permanently exiled from my own ancestral homeland. And those were just my short years. My entire ethnic group has been experiencing mass killings and genocides for more than 100 years. No Western moral outrage, no celebrity tweets, no nothing.
And you wanna preach to me? Please don't make me laugh. I have hundreds of horrific anecdotes of my own. And I HATE that I have to parade my misery around because YOU think that's how you win arguments.

I have literally no idea why you’re bringing all of this up. Your personal/family experience is yours and no one’s invalidating that. Funnily, my background and ultimately my own experience is extremely similar to everything you’ve described. Not saying it’s more or less valid, it’s mine. I’m just glad to see you’ve come to the same conclusion that the region did not need another war.
 
Good Lord I love the fact that apolitical Ed has emerged from this as a capitalist hack who turns a blind eye to genocide!

As someone else has said, the vast majority of his fans won’t care, as most people seem to be asleep about it, but it’s rather tasty that he’s been outed as the ambitious, self serving opportunist he has always been.

Its quite funny that he said he was doing it to protect the support acts and staff and they all just said "fuck your money we have morals"

Ah well I'm sure he'll sleep well on his bed of $$$s
