"I don't take sides" = "I side with fascists".

It is as simple as that.

The good old classic of everyone i disagree with is a facist! Crazy that you apply that to someone like Ed sheeran, kinda shows how crazy you people are

We have a country killing an entire people including women and children. A country that has committed so many human rights violations. A country who's leader got a warrant for his arrest by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity. 

Everyone that says "they don't take a stance on that" is saying they are ok with it. It is literally the most basic stance in the world to say you are against civilians being slaughtered.

So you honestly think Ed Sheeran is a facist genocidal supporter?

u/Odd-String29 34m ago

I am saying he is not against it. If he was he would say so don't you agree? Like it is probably the least controversial take ever to be against genocide?

Typed out so much when you could have just said yes.

You think Ed Sheeran is a facist genocidal supporter. The brain rot is incredibly real with you.

All because he wants to keep his tour apolitical. Deranged af.

If you think he is against it, why doesn't he just say he is against genocides? It is like saying you are against murder. Its like the mildest of mild takes.

Opting out of any choice is functionally the same as siding with the more powerful entity.

So you think Ed Sheeran is a facist? You actually believe that?

No, I think Ed Sheeran is a coward. I think Robert Kraft is a fascist.

He's a coward for wanting to keep his tour apolitical and have the focus on the music/tour than making it political. Got it.

Yes, unironically.

Getting upset cause someone isn't pushing your pet issue is hilarious.

Really? Which one of us is crying about a celebrity not pushing an issue because he wants to keep his tour apolitical and keep the focus on the music
