Hi David, I appreciate that you took the time to demystify and demythify, but my attention is more on what has been happening to you. I know that we are all vulnerable to a malicious lawsuit at any time, and that chill is real but not that frequent. But this cancellation-bytroll-bombardment against you is both very alarming generally and personally like a disease that saps your energy and resources. The Hasbara trolls won't stop at anything, mainly because they are so well funded. Hats off to you for standing firm. Sending you warm greetings from Montevideo.
i agree with all that, tho in the case of artists getting targeted, if they fail to isolate you or kick you off of streaming platforms and such, they only make you more popular, at least online...
i want to visit montevideo! are you living there these days, or just visiting?
Barry and I have been spending 5-6 months a year here for the last 8 years. It's a really good country and we have a nice community here. As we do on Toronto Island! So, best of both worlds, top 1% of privilege, don't think I don't know it!!! It would be great if you were to visit. We would put you up for a couple of weeks.
Thanks for making time to break this down. I would add a few things. Half the people in Gaza were not even born the last time there was an election, so the notion that the population voted for Hamas so they deserve what they get is ludicrous. And also, that's the same argument that bin Laden used, that U.S. citizens elect our leaders, so we are all responsible for the actions of our government. I hate our government, so I certainly wouldn't volunteer to be killed for its actions. And regarding the treatment of LGBTQ+ people, I'll say this, sure I don't love that. But I don't have to agree with someone or even like them to believe they have a right to live. No one is asking the Israel trolls to convert to Islam. No one is asking them to live how Gazans live or believe what they believe. We are just telling them to stop killing innocent people. Just stop. Stop. It's not complicated, jeez.
I have a copy of Jimmy Carters book supporting Palestine. Hoping we quit sending any support to Israel until stop the Genocide. I will still be voting for Biden because Republicans are organizing to destroy our democracy
What a plethora of crap you have run up against. Taking a stand, as you have, always draws out the worst in people. We are just tribes of overly privileged chimpanzees. The old time Christians use to say, " The closer you grow with God the harder the Devil works to destroy your soul." It is obvious you are doing the right thing, you are having an impact and I thank you for it. CarryOn!
Thanks for addressing these ridiculous arguments, David. I've heard them too, and I appreciate seeing your responses. I hope the rest of your tour is peaceful.
