Yes, Iām sure Neil is bleeding altruism and none of this is political grandstanding. Still, letās be honest of the end result and what itās called. The tap dancing around the term canceling is bizarre.
Neil Young pulled his music because he wants Rogan removed from Spotify and others followed suit. Youāre giving me the awful impression of someone that hasnāt read up on this topic.
That wasnāt my original point, no. I was asking for those calling for his removal to be more truthful. Thereās nothing wrong with wanting Rogan to be reduced to selling sharpened pencils on the side of the road, just own it.
Your example would be more forceful if Rogan were failing, but heās wildly popular, surprisingly so. Most likely what youāre seeing with regards to capitalism is the dark side; the bitterness that comes with seeing others succeed.
The whole āyou forced this character assassination on yourself by not giving in to our demandsā seems pretty gross. There was a legitimate point to be made about Roganās responsibility with regard to Covid, but thatās been replaced with sour grapes it seems. I actually respected Spotifyās laissez faire stance, which also illustrates just how subjectively one could view a proper response.
I mean the clip being used is obviously out of context and a hit job after the Covid argument was lost. Still, he should be embarrassed at how many times he casually dropped the N word in these conversations. That was pretty uncomfortable to watch.
The Texas brass has to be as shocked as the rest of us and maybe this is the kick in the ass they needed. Although they probably still feel superior losing the right way.
Iāve had friends and neighbors get Covid in the last month (seems like nearly everyone) and they only found out with an at home test. They didnāt even go to doctor, so how in the world can they actually track all this Covid data properly?
