Is there literally any noteworthy musician who's taken an anti-BLM stance or, failing that, stayed silent on it despite usually being online?
I understand musicians by nature will skew left-wing politically, and most of them are focused on other things rather than keeping up with the culture war, but when the world goes this insane you'd think at least one of these guys would pause and question before jumping on board.

you don't know what that is

It isnt rocket science user
all good music is left wing, from Bob Dylan to Stereolab.
inb4 RAC and black metal, shit is boring as hell and you know it
I understand it, I'm just surprised I haven't even seen one example of someone taking the opposite stance, not even artists who already have fuck-you money. Load of cowards desu.
Try having a tour in a country without cops
Eat shit racist.
People who shout mantras backed by corporate advertising campaigns verbatim with no sense of nuance are virtue signalling.
Eat my ass you frog, i have no horses in this race.

Is that before or after you punch me?

If anything it's in remembrance of his wife.
Apparently it's extremely hard to understand that defunding and abolishing are two different things.
No, all musicians are leftists by default.
Apparently, it's hard to understand that cities who defunded their police departments shattered monthly records in rape and murder. Shaniqua, it's time to shut the fuck up,.

Get the fuck out of here.
Not like you give a shit. You don't have any angle to spew your sanctimonious appearance keeping from.
I have as many angles as I want and need.
I'm left by default but was immediately alienated when people start calling for extreme, destructive ideas and burning down cities, including black-owned businesses.
That kind of behavior with simultaneous calls to defund police is so extreme I'd expect it to sound insane to the average person, yet these functionally apolitical but temperamentally leftist musicians seem to immediately jump on board without thinking at all.
The fact it's so extreme yet support is so firm and unanimous from musicians is what weirds me.
>I have as many angles as I want and need.
Just four, you're a fucking square.
>yet these functionally apolitical but temperamentally leftist musicians seem to immediately jump on board without thinking at all.
lol its not extreme whatsoever to burn down our fucking cages. if you tihnk the destruction of property by the oppressed is extreme but the systemic oppression, exploitation, and killing of working class people by armed thugs of the capitalist class is "normal" youre seriously fucked un the head
So when someone has a differing opinion then you concerning politics and social issues you automatically think it's a temporary thing?
>calling for extreme, destructive ideas and burning down cities, including black-owned businesses.
Literally no one supports this than the assholes making people look bad because they're not there to protest or stand with others for change, just to fuck shit up.
Please, I beg you, listen to more music before posting on a music board and stop listening to touristcore like fucking Bob Dylan and Stereolab.
Good to know that all I need do is point your head in the direction of the thing I want smashed, nigger. You'll always be a nigger with this attitude. Now dance fo' massuh, Jimmy Boy. He'll give ya a shiny new nickel.

This, we have Trump sending these police forces to antagonize, beat, and kidnap protesters for doing nothing wrong other than exercising their given rights as Americans. People fucking support it, and it just blows me the fuck away.
Absolutely based Trump. Less americans on this planet is always, without exception, a good news.
Oooh, looks like another Jimmy Boy needs a nickel. Now don't spend it on one pair a shoes, you little pickininny rascal.
Yeah dude, moving towards an actual dictatorship where no one has rights,where the Bill of Rights and Constitution means fuck all. You're a complete moron.
Ooh whee, dat Jimmy Boy getting a big pile of nickels today
Hopefully americans will all die within my lifetime.

Half a nickel for Jimmy Boy ooh ho ho ho ho dassa good one, massa will find dat one funny
What?
Sure less Americlaps but at the price of losing the illusion of freedom.
I understand the sentiment though.
I’m pretty certain the Americlap empire will implode in itself sooner or later. It wouldn’t be surprising considering the current state of affairs.
Nice projection.
>Literally no one supports this
they've all stayed silent about it, and staying silent against something means supporting it.
yes those are the only artists I've ever heard of. yep. certainly haven't posted here since 2010. no sir I am a tourist I just found the computer downstairs
Does it really?
>Apparently it's extremely hard to understand that defunding and abolishing are two different things.
Probably because the people saying that use the words interchangeably.
im far leftist. i highly disagree. its too bad when black businesses get killed in the crossfire. but destruction of property is the best way to enact change and dismantle capitalism. once we abolish capitalism and liberate black and other oppressed working class folk there will be no need for businesses
>oppressed
You're the most spoiled people in history; you are not oppressed.
Elaborate. Go on, don’t be shy.
