    Again, claiming to not take a side when we can all see with our eyes that genocide is taking place, is in fact taking a side.

    Ignoring something IS a stance, I hate to be the one to apparently burst this bubble for you, but you can’t just opt out of life and claim things don’t matter to you.

    You’re giving me the “I don’t do politics and that’s fine” argument.

    Politicians literally dictate our entire lives and silence in the face of political injustice isn’t JUST a stance, it’s downright cowardice.

    Also duh fuck Robert Kraft stop the crap man, two people can in fact work together to be pieces of shit.

      It’s like with Russians and zionists where “if you’re not with us, you’re against us”.

      “things don’t matter to you” does not equal apolitism or nonpartisanship. Artists who refrain from politics or speaking on geopolitical matters were historically regarded as more respectful. Each time I saw one doing it, wave of people commented “maybe celebrities should not do political speeches”, but I guess that’s false if it’s someone you agree with, and true if it’s someone you disagree with, just like with censorship on opposite side.

        So you’re just saying what you heard other people say, then? Why not think for yourself?

        I’ve never been critical of celebrities expressing political opinions. Lots of people never have been. Lots of people always thought that everyone has a right to express political opinions. It sounds like you’re making up a hypocritical person and then castigating them, rather than actually reading what people are saying to you.
