Why has Nutomic SAID NOTHING ABOUT PALESTINE FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS, or the Gaza flotilla, or the genocide by starvation that is HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, and look he doesn’t even know the difference between the “Gaza flag” and the Palestinian flag

IS MONEY LEMMY ALL THAT MATTERS TO HIM

This is why I think this whole line of argument about Taylor Swift is especially stupid. People can say what they want to say, or not. I’m not in charge of badgering Nutomic to take any particular “stand” on any particular issue, or weigh in on any particular genocide. It doesn’t make him a bad person if he doesn’t. He can say what he wants about Palestine, or trans issues, or really, anything. Same for Taylor Swift.

I do kind of agree with giving people grief about particular brain-dead or evil takes (Nick Cave’s fell into that category to me.) But most of this stuff just seems like a way to try to harass any public figure into supporting exactly what someone has decided they “should” support, and I don’t think they should be obligated to do that.
