oops

Uh oh, your band mate expressed himself which put your brand at risk.

You've done so well not stepping on any of the wrong toes, you've made all the correct decisions, your partner made his bed, better course correct!

The spectacle is the true value! You've shown fealty, you'll be accepted back into the circle after a few lashings. You're the lesson to so many others, you've behaved very well. A good boy.

What's your comradeship worth? Not this much! Not all the future what ifs, yes you have enough but you could have so much more!

You are an artist in the spotlight, your brand is silly and edgy, but not too edgy. 
Not THIS edgy.

Artists feeling they have the same responsibility as politicians and the powerful is sad.

I cant absolutely say if I was a popular artist I wouldn't choose loyalty to the machine when the machine provides a thriving existence, but when your critique is of the powerful and not punching down, apologies feel like cowardice.

Israel is not a viable state BECAUSE we aren't allowing them to experience consequences.

  Israel's first instinct after october 7th for months was to mass murder children and women until the world was like "yo, not cool" Israel is not electing people who are capable of rational decision making, and part of that is because America and the West is shielding them from any and all consequences for their actions. Allowing AIPAC to attack, silence, bully, and undermine American democracy is weakening Israel because Israel knows it has no right to exist fundamentally. a "right to exist" is a ridiculous notion to begin with. The west believing it has any right to enable an ethnostate with overt and unambiguous goals of genocide is absolute absurdity. Israel as a concept can exist, Israel as a Zionist utopia has no right to exist.

Control, love, and choices

 All frustration is born out of a lack of control. Control that never truly existed in the first place. You're leaving our relationship?  My business isn't doing well? You're not laughing at my jokes. My pet is dying. That stranger was rude to me! Not one of these things is controllable because it relies on another. Now hatred, that is love plus control. Love is just love, love happens effortlessly, love is our standard state of being. We are born loving the first people we grow up with, we naturally love anyone who we spend an amount of time with. Hatred happens when someone or something we care about spirals out of OUR control. Real or imaginary, there is a desire to exert control over what we hate in some manner. or when we convince ourselves of a threat to what we love, real or imaginary. There are physical rules of the universe, we have to eat or we die. We get to make up a lot of things, like WHAT we eat. There are consequences for what we eat, and that is part of the

Rando Ass Thot

  Right wingers might not all be racists, but ultimately they all tolerate racism as a tool. Their identity seems to hinge on "things running smoothly is what I care about." Hence their devotion to what they imagine to be strong leaders. They intrinsically trust the system because the system has never specifically targeted them for exclusion or abuse. Which is why they refuse to acknowledge it has ever been used to abuse others. They, intentionally or unwttingly, see racism as an affirmation that they aren't going to be the target that those seeking power in a democracy need to gain influence. Which explains their mistrust of democracy and leaning towards fascism. If they elect a bigoted leader, like Trump or DeSantis, then the bigoted leader will focus their attention on the scapegoat they campaigned on and not anything that might actually impact them or their business.
