How they’re using the word wrong?

Anonymous OP 1d

Yes. How, specifically, this word is being used incorrectly. and I do admit - I’m not german. I may not be grammatically correct here. but the MEANING? disprove that.

I’m not going along with a trend or a group. I have no problem people speaking about politics. I just believe concerts are the one time when they shouldn’t. In order for me to one by definition I have to “be a passive follower who goes on long with a group without personal conviction” this is literally none of that

Why are concerts a special exception? There isn’t really a clear distinction between politics and any other part of your life, it’s all connected

“A passive follower who goes along with a group without personal conviction” applies perfectly to someone who believes that politics - the stuff that affects people’s lives - iSn’T aPpRopRiAtE at a concert. Politics let you pay for your ticket. Is it really such a crime to have to live through a discussion about them?

When I go to a concert I don’t want to think about politics or what’s going on in the world. I want the couple hours of freedom where I don’t have to stress about like or the horrible things going on. I think a lot of people feel that way.

It really isn’t. Many artists in itself believe left and right light idk Dolly Parton. She believed in everyone’s rights and was far left but never once talked about politics because she also believes music is where people find freedom

“When i go to a concert, I don’t want to think about politics or what’s going on in the world.” By going to the concert, you already did. Politically, you were advantaged enough to get a job. Politically, you were not prevented from exchanging that money for goods and services on the basis of race or sex. Politically, you HAVE THE ABILITY to escape. The drones fly 24/7 over gaza. Can they?

Point is - the fact you can even ATTEND this concert - and the fact it’s being put on at all - is INHERENTLY POLITICAL. It’s just comfortable for you. the norm. and there’s a word for those who go along with a norm without personal conviction…

When you go to a concert do you think about why you can? Do you think about everything that happened to get you to the point of being able to? Nobody does

OP, is there literally anything else you want to add about DOLLY PARTON in this context. DOLLY PARTON specifically. DOLLY PARTON. anything else

Anonymous #3 1d

I am giving a great example. Everyone loved her. Nobody thought anything bad about what she believed. Is it because she was famous because when I have the same beliefs it’s suddenly an issue. Make it make sense.

Yes. I do. You are the odd one out here. Sorry to be blunt. That’s just a completely normal part about Giving A Shit About Other People And Your Community.

You are trying to present to me the idea that DOLLY PARTON - she who created the Imagination Library for impoverished kids, a foundation to keep Tenneseee students in school (and just look at the demographics on dropouts to understand this), donated thousands of dollars for community support in the wake of hurricanes and fires when the gov wouldn’t step in - is APOLITICAL?

Anonymous OP 1d

Quite frankly, Dolly was EXTREMELY open about her views. So open she took action. Leftist, communist, community focused action. If you GENUINELY BELIEVE that’s apolitical, you need remedial education

Nonono, #4, that’s the problem Ed Sheeran did nothing He just stood aside and let it happen to keep his “no politics” image going That’s the entire issue

ok so let me create this hypothetical for you he totally disagrees with your and macklemore’s positions on the middle east and happily says so in a public statement will people celebrate him for standing up for what he believes in OR will they call him a zionist pig and start a boycott? answer that honestly

Well, he would be solving the first problem completely and diving headfirst into another one, so yes!

Anonymous #4 19h

Obviously that would be the worst possible solution for him. Might as well evacuate him to Tel Aviv at that point

yes isn’t an answer😭😭 so we go back to my first point about groupthink now…

Anonymous #1 18h

so the only “solution” is for him to mindlessly parrot your rhetoric

1

Anonymous #1 18h

I think the best way to put this is that he doesn’t have a developed enough opinion on the topic that he would like to comment, or he doesn’t want to share his own, but you expect him to kowtow (even though you know what he says in that case would just be him parroting your own beliefs under duress). That lets you maintain your nice echo chamber, because even the musical artists you listen to MUST agree with you.

No he should just be honest. Just tell people he doesn’t gaf if Palestinians are genocided and he doesn’t care about kids getting amputated without anesthesia, doesn’t care about Israel’s genocide, and then start playing Shape of You

Anonymous #1 17h

You’re attacking a position he doesn’t hold if he did believe that genocide or war crimes were occurring and said he doesn’t care, that would be fucked… except that isn’t what he ever said and whatever happened to talking about sudan, myanmar, ukraine, the tens of thousands of iranians killed by the regime among others you don’t call for that, you only virtue signal when it comes to that one single minded obsession

So anyone that disagrees with you or simply doesn’t have a fully formed opinion/is too scared to share their opinion is a cunt.
