Fashionably late as always, but I just saw a short clip of something that happened 2 weeks ago which I had to verify on whether it was real or not.
I'm serious, I could not believe this was real. Not because I was a fan or supporter of the music band in question, but because I could not believe people this dumb existed.
So apparently, this band Metallica went on stage and pretty much mocked Macklemore for speaking out against a genocide. I want to emphasize, they didn't choose sides like that 💩stain Pink did, no they pretty much went on stage and announced they are being silently compliant: "Metallica is not here like some other entertainers to influence you with some BS, we're here to forget all the BS....our agenda is love"
What in the actual ***** ****? This is like walking in and interrupting a meeting to say you're not going to say anything. This is like announcing to the world you are fookin but are trying to NOT get pregnant. This is like announcing you will be coming out with an announcement tomorrow. Or even worse, this is like interrupting a music concert to say you are not going to interrupt it just to speak out against a genocide, but to speak out on those who speak out.🤣
Why not just STFU then? What was the flaking point? It reminded me so much of that scene from the biopic Penguin Lessons 2024, where a nonchalant English teacher living in South America learns compassion and care after crossing paths with a penguin covered in oil, but fails to stand up against fascist goons disappearing the local people who oppose them. I'll never forget what a local said to him about "hating him more than the fascists doing this to the people, because his failure to say something while knowing what was happening was wrong, made him worse than them."
So most people were equally angered and confused by Metallica's nonstatement. But my brain works differently, I immediately started imagining what this Metallica would be like if they were around in WW2🤣🤣🤣
