Can I please say, why are we, the proletariat, even giving this controversy attention?

We all watched how the Epstein files were released and not a single person is facing actual punishment from it.

Macklemore is an opening act and is not why people were buying tickets for this tour. (Was he relevant? Did people really pay for this tour because of him? Now he’s got attention from Palestine sympathizers who might give him actual attention his next album).

America is by and large apathetic to Gaza or doesn’t even know the conflict exists. Half of us don’t know what exists outside of our own communities.

Macklemore gets a pat on the back for saying “what’s right.”, Sheeran gets a boost in ticket sales because now his tour over multiple stadiums, is plastered on the front page of every news aggregator. Live Nation makes bank off of everyone involved here.

And Robert Kraft is probably cackling to the bank about how we are all eating out of the palm of his boss’s hands.

With no one going after him, only Sheeran, the elite win again.

For all I know, Macklemore and Sheeran were both powerless to their actual opinions on any of this.
