I don’t believe I said you shouldn’t judge her, did I? Not even an implication of it, or this idea that I believe pop stars shouldn’t be political. Quite the opposite! I would be wary about putting words in my mouth unless you see them written plainly in my posts. I’ve made my stance very well known across the forum, especially in defense of artists who do choose to be vocal and have seen push back and even smear campaigns in response to them being vocal. However, I’m also not going to lose sleep waiting for someone to do something that is so clearly not in their nature when I can be doing my own work in spreading awareness by educating myself and others around me. By all means, feel free to take up that fight. I’m not standing in your way.
When I said “you cannot tell me” I was not directly referring to you. I meant it generally, it’s a turn of phrase. Sorry it came across that way - It was a general “you” like the royal version of we. I knew I’d get a response that her speaking out wouldn’t matter and I was certainly proven right.
But really, if it’s not in her nature then she should be held to task for that and surrounding herself with Zionists while trying to be like “omg Palestine! Heart hands.” You cannot have it both ways.
Again, just because she’s friends with shygirl doesn’t mean Zionists haven’t been profiting off her with her consent, which makes the “aww Palestine flag!” completely hypocritical and meaningless.
You are advocating for not expecting her to do more than she has and focusing on personal activism. I understand that, but I have no qualms trying to push her to do better and also do my own activism, they’re not mutually exclusive when virtually everyone needs to be doing more. Everyone.
