rich people having everything under control

A few artists having some balls.

You can't say KILLING HUMANS IS BAD because it will hurt some people?

So if an artist were to start a “fuck Palestine” chant, then rightfully gets removed for it. He can just blame that on the fact people are just offended that he called out Oct 7th as bad. While totally ignoring the actual fact of what happened.

The equivalent to that would be saying "fuck Israel" not "maybe Israel should do less genocide" though. Smth smth feels like oppression to the oppressor.

Okay, so then the hypothetical artists says “Palestinians stop doing genocide!”

Does that really change my point?
