@lime__black@ZLUpdating Your argument falls flat then because Israel and Russia also have innocent children. Gig should’ve never been booked, it’s good she cancelled.
I can enjoy Zara without blindly supporting anything she does. It is okay to critique your favourite artists ✨
@AryenisHere@malaysynthfunk@ZLUpdating where the argument gets close in the West is when private institutions use their power to control how music is politically displayed. example is Macklemore situation, which is equally not right.
@AryenisHere@malaysynthfunk@ZLUpdating if we go that route let’s critique all Americans for buying food, being employed, paying bills etc. because it’s taxed. the key difference is the US is a free market where fans pay private venues vs. UAE where the state directly pays artists to whitewash their oppressive regime
@lvesickbrat@Odd_Jew_Circle@ZLUpdating it’s good she cancelled, but I find using Sudan as a reason here is reductive. the conflict has been ongoing far before the gig was booked, among other inhumane ways the government treats its people. basically, it shouldn’t have been booked in the first place
@malaysynthfunk@ZLUpdating playing at a commercial arena in the US is different from taking a check for a government-sponsored event in the UAE, who are responsible for all the oppressive legislation in the state.
