I hope the entire world’s eyes are by this point open to the hypocrisy of the West. Kneecap and Bob Vylan being labeled outrageous or on trial for terrorism for… words, while weapons shipments continue to flow to the IDF, Netanyahu (with an arrest warrant for war crimes) flies through EU airspace unhindered, and the bombing of civilians in Gaza generates less news than a chant at a concert. Absolutely disgusting.
Disgust and rage doesn’t come close to expressing my emotions.
This is the capitalist hydra they created- money equals morality. How can we be evil if we’re making so much money selling weapons to a genocidal terrorist state? What was that, you don’t like it? Sssh, if you hurt our cash cow we will hurt YOU.
Worshipping the golden fucking calf.
Capitalism is a form of government where instead of citizens having one vote each, they have one vote per dollar they own. It’s a cult, and it’s a fucking cancer, and it will kill us all if we don’t stop it.
To be honest I had never heard of Bob Vylan before, so the people screaming they should be banned (so they dont become known?) reached the opposite effect, at least for me personally.
I’ve been upping the listenership for kneecap and Bob vylan for about a month now. Saving for hard copies to help support. This all reminds me of the satanic panic that was so common when I was a kid. Such fuckery to suppress an idea.
Same never heard of them, but now streaming them to show support. They’re playing in my city on Saturday so might pop down.
Yeah, discovered an interesting artist through this
Can we rename the Streisand Effect to Vylan Effect now?
fuckign catchy though
The chant has been living rent free in my mind for days now.
We need to start banding together and voting these pro-genocide politicians out of office.
Oh, AIPAC supports you? Enjoy getting primaried. Watching their heads spin when Cuomo lost to Mamdani was fucking gold.
led crowds in chants of “free, free Palestine” and “death, death to the IDF” [The BBC said:] “The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable … " [Starmer said:] “appalling hate speech.”
“Free Palestine” is not antisemitic. Criticism of a nation state’s armed forces is not antisemitic. Especially when those armed forces are objectively committing genocide.
I think the issue is the other chant, now I’m not saying that is anti-Semitic at all as that’s insane.
For what it’s worth fuck the IDF, terrorist assholes.
Pfft…
Only the rational and reasonable buy into what you’re putting forth here…
Which completely and entirely excludes any/all MAGAts and other assorted fascist/authoritarian types that appear to be consuming gov’ts globally.
🤡 🖕 💩 💩
Also excludes pretty much every establishment Democrat
Of course, it is both sides, the Republicans and the Democrats, who are causing a problem in the UK government.
When did IDF become a protected minority group? Is saying “Death to Nazis” not allowed in the UK?
What a shitty article. It’s so heavily biased in favor of genocide.
They are literally all doing this. There is more confected outrage about this than the actual slaughter of civilians by the IDF. I feel like I’m going mad.
They are engaging in an absolutely ridiculous campaign of gaslighting. It’s so outlandish and over-the-top that it would actually be hilarious if it was on a lighter subject matter rather than genocide, terrorism, and a litany of war crimes.
Happy cake day!
They didn’t even do the most basic of work to attempt to put forward a front of journalistic integrity. They didn’t give Vylan a chance to respond to the article.
There was a really interesting podcast on the AP style and its entrenched biases - but only available to subscribers:

I was going to link their merch store so people can keep supporting them, but almost everything is already sold out lol
Death to the IDF.
https://bobvylan.myshopify.com/ is the link in case anyone wants it
Fuck that is an awesome design.
Shame it (a) appears to be cotton (not the material I want to be running in), and (b) is sold out.
You prefer plastic?
Running shirts tend to be made of nylon or polyester. Unfortunately I tend to hang on to my clothes a very long time so all the tags are worn away and I can’t check, but I’m pretty sure all my running shirts are one of those.
Cotton is particularly bad because it chafes and it hangs on to sweat rather than wicking it away.
Of natural fibres, you probably want wool. I’ve particularly heard good things about merino wool. But avoid cotton for running.
It’s all sold out. Everyone wants a piece of Bob Vylan. I hope they do “death to the idf” t shirts.
Wait, I thought we hated Shopify? (Cause of the data breach.)
Not to mention that they were happily selling Kanye West’s Nazi clothing until the press and social media called them out for it.
I have no idea, I was just fixing the broken link
Thank you, fixed it in my post 🙏
Thank you for the sacrifice Vylan

Calling for death of any group is not allowed.

Gotta be fair to the genocide force of course.
Like they’re not an ethnic group or comprised of innocents. This is a force whose express intent is genocide and displacement.
Doesn’t matter. Calling for violence against any group is against TOS.

This censorship is clear evidence of anti-masochism.
It’s a quote. From the guy in the article… you also didn’t remove the other people mentioning it here…
Gotta protect the poor organization formed explicitly for genocide…
Can’t see how you are doing exactly what the UK police is doing? 😂
Would you also just follow orders when the Nazis tell you to?
Edit: ……and my point was made. Orders successfully followed. 👏 👏 👏
That one got reported, the others did not, but since you mention it, I’ll check the rest of the thread, thanks!
Edit only one other comment advocating violence, it was also removed.

“Have the Rolling Stones killed, Smithers.”
Bob Vylan! Bloody auto spell.
