10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
I don't care about what the ADL says and I don't care if BMG drops Roger Waters, but there is really no question that Roger Waters hates Jews. His own former bandmates have said as much.
Like I said, his label can keep him as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure BMG has all kinds of other horrible people signed to its label.
But I also think people should know who Roger Waters is.
Holy shit there was a lot in the short article!
...he also suggested “bombing” audiences with confetti in the shape of swastikas, stars of David, dollar signs and other symbols.
That's an impressive level of antisemitism
Yeah, he's a colossal piece of shit. But so is Eric Clapton. Clapton claims to regret his racist rant (Morrissey is still happily racist), but on the other hand he and fellow piece of shit Van Morrison recorded an anti-COVID vaccine song.
All of those guys are supremely talented and were supremely influential. And they're horrible, horrible people.
And that's before we get into all the musicians who have fucked underage groupies.
If we're going to start demanding labels drop musicians for being awful, there's going to be a long list of musicians.
It's weird to me that so many people claiming to be liberal or progressive are falling for the propaganda that being anti-zionist is anti-semetic. Progressives used to be against genocide.
The Grayzone is a Kremlin propaganda outlet that has zero relationship with the truth.
