    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.
