i shoud ignore, but
the controversy is that Macklemore wasn't allowed to say 'free Palestine' and not give a relatively harmless speech. this shows Zionists captured mass media; not just news media but all of popular culture (saying Zionist like that, may sound like an antisemetic trope, i don’t mean it as such; most of these people aren’t Jewish; for instance almost all Democrat politicians)
this Kraft dude, the billionaire stadium owner behind what happened literally has a multimillion dollar operation in one of his stadiums, monitoring all of (i suppose mostly American) social media for ‘antisemitism’, meaning anything anti-Israel. look it up, there’s a small news segment on it
also he has Epstein connections, look it up.
basically American elites are very Zionist/pro-Israel and pro rape, of minors.
sounds hyperbolic. or, not really anymore: people know this by now.
guess here i also want to point out how deranged Israel is with their sex crimes against Palestinians, look it up, or rather don’t. Israel is culturally a western country and is just a good showcase for how depraved the whole of the west is
personally i hope the west falls, i just hope it does it softly, because it’s the regular person that suffers from it falling not soft
that Ed Sheeran is pals with these people isn’t too surprising, but still important to have revealed. he is one the biggest artists worldwide/in the west. other big artists are probably not much better (and that why it's good there's a minority of bigger artists who do speak up)

I hope the West doesn't fail but gets back on track as unlikely as that is, the reasoning being despite wars, conflict and general abuse, its still significantly smaller amount than the countless lives saved by vaccines, antibiotics, medical procedures. Just look at the infant mortality before the advent of this stuff. Sure its not the west itself but by in large it is. And people who say it wasn't are just fucking lying bastards bascially

when you actually hear what people like big want to replace "the west" with, it's shockingly, shockingly retarded.
Starting with banning the word retarded.
They're just jew haters. The most racist, sexist, sanctimonious ridiculous clowns ever.
big you don't have even the smallest modicum of masculinity left in your body you might as well trans at this point.

ok so what happened is activist left spent last 10 years insisting on cancelling and attacking people for small statements and perceived aggressions. then hamas killed a bunch of unarmed people and filmed scenes like the flash sequences from event horizon. this made the left very happy so they excitedly took statements like 'free palestine' and loudly declared such statements are a support of revolutionary violence and a call to 'globalize' this revolution. many on the left are then shocked that they can be cancelled too for statements that are perceived as aggressive. they have been unable to understand that what they do to others can be done to back to them (for example by a rich jew who didnt want his money involved with a political cause he dislikes). this is because the left is full of psychopaths and creeps after a century of internal theoretical collapses and russian influence ops. this pushed out the normal people who naturally understand human basics like reciprocity

i used the term 'activist left' which often refers to anarchists/communists/socialists although there is room to interpret this in ways that cover a wider or narrower range depending on your view. in this case 'the left' is a generalization describing people who have been using language and activism as a political weapon to advance a revolutionary struggle

i don't think many socialists would feel joy that some random innocent people who went to a music festival in israel were murdered by hamas. less so if they care about the civilians in palestine

I don't understand this self flagellation that goes on amid the hard left. I mean sure I want an egalitarian utopia but I value woman's liberation and freedom of thought and religion above the ideals of medieval authoritarianism. I know the united states isn't exactly a Bastian of those ideals at the moment, but try and go to Saudi Arabia and ask them not to execute homosexuals, or go to North Korea, or Afghanistan and tell them they are bad.
Its low hanging fruit
I know the west is far from ideal in many many ways, but you'd have to be a complete cretin to want to live in a scientifically, illiterate and culturally regressive country. In fact you'd have to really hate yourself. Cos believe it or not there are places and societies that are actually less agreeable than the united states.
I can't believe I'm defending the yanks!

The only way to solve this is for everyone to unite on earth and crucify Ed Sheeran at the equator, then half and quarter him while still twitchy and draw his parts/offal to the 4 quadrants of the earth and burn his entrails in some sort of solar rite. While Macklemore is torn apart by two F-22 Raptors on a flight deck going full afterburner in opposite direction

it’s a mix of cultural relativism, which really stems from undigested racist, i.e. noble savage shit, and west/american exceptionalism that leads one to see the world as a simple dichotomy between bad americans and good anti-americans. it’s very annoying but it’s an easy framework for “left” influencers to exploit for drama and advert money.
so it’s not “self-flagellation” as much as big white saviour paternalism.
i do think it’s important to distinguish between effective rights, like e.g. don’t be left to starve, don’t be hatecrimed, don’t be exploited, don’t be coerced into some bullshit, which you can have specific solutions for, and formal rights like “freedom of speech”, “freedom of thought”, which in the abstract don’t really mean anything at all.

i don’t think “activist left” refers to a coherent entity and cancel culture was made up nonsense for daily mail readers unless we’re talking fandom wars and we should never talk fandom wars and i don’t think they’d be politically relevant anyways.
i’d also say you’d find those on the left who celebrate hamas also tend to rant about the evils of “cancel culture”, wouldn’t you? it’s the putin left like, they hate queers and “purity culture”, the vampire castle. i don’t know i’m not being very eloquent but there’s too much shit in the world.

I certainly didn't bring up race, many if not most of the advances in Western civilization were predicated on stuff like mathematics and science from Mesopotamia, Arabia and china etc...
I'm certainly not a advocate of the white saviour theory. I don't believe any race has any inherent superiority. What I do believe is reason and rationality and scientific literacy is at this particular moment in history is still expressed best in Western aligned countries. I think if you eliminated that you would have a socially regressive global environment on balance.
But you're free to think otherwise of course.

I wasn't talking about you! You're all right! I was responding to "I don't understand this self flagellation that goes on amid the hard left." and I was saying what you're seeing is not so much a hard left but people online that haven't got a lot of political education gravitating towards progressive vibes but being unable to shed entrenched racist/US-centric habits.

Sorry I haven't made myself clear, specifically these are people who've sort of turned these values around, so they go from "America is the greatest country in the world" to "America is uniquely evil and everything bad in the world is their fault"; or they take a reasonable take such as "'rationality' and 'science' are sometimes used as a cudgel in the service of male and white supremacy" and turn it into "rationality is a male psyop and it's bad and science is fake and they don't want you to know that magic exists". But it's really the same shit underneath.

for example comedians are afraid to make jokes about race and sex because even if the joke is very clear that it isn't racist or sexist it's become a taboo to make a joke about them at all. on the other hand there are comedians who know this and their every joke is about trans or race because they know it will bring them attention

Yeah I don't think that's a real issue. (Plus still rather unspecific!) Stewart Lee already had a bit about it in like 2005.
Some comedians are just bad and unfunny, and basically all they do is state "controversial" opinions while everyone cheers. These days there's money to be made by catering to racists anyway.

This aspect of the West I would merrily see fall.
That lesbian Covid-conscious bar is beyond a satirist’s...
Here’s a recap, in case you missed the viral coverage. Three idealistic, gender-confused humans – one of them uses ‘it’ pronouns – decide to open a bar in the hyper-progressive Western Massachusetts town of Greenfield. Their target demographic? The misshapen, broke, hypochondriac, Sapphist ‘Covid cautious’ community. So far, so good, plenty of them about in these parts...
...Despite this apparently winning formula, they failed to make enough money to pay their bills. Two of the three founders left months ago – one of them, to go into the famously lucrative clown industry via clown school. The remaining one, Jackie Matellian, got into debt, moved into her truck, took on four jobs and now uses the money she earns to pay down the bar’s bills. She consulted business advisers ‘who are queer and marginalised people of colour in the LGBT Chamber of Commerce’, as well as locals on how to save her bar. On their advice, she decided to open the doors – one measly night a week – to the Covid ‘mask-optional crowd’. The announcement, made on Instagram on 31 August, was greeted in the same way I imagine the Poles did upon hearing that Nazi tanks were headed their way.
