Wow, if I didn't have a reason to not like them before, I sure as hell do now.

On the face of it, I don't have an issue with saying this, as his family weren't the ones preaching hate. But choosing to single out this particular person's family rather than all the other recent shooting victims is a bad look.

Everyone grieves differently, but his wife literally turned around and used his corpse for Instagram content before he was even in the ground! Add it to the list of videos I wish I hadn’t watched this week

Plus that wonderful speech she gave about how her husbands death was a rallying cry to the right to take care of the libs, so, like fuck her too.

It's pretty much a given that anyone who would marry him must be an awful person.

[–] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

You have to remember also he is not American, and Charlie wasn’t hugely known outside of the US, and his death has received massive coverage

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It's cause Charlie Kirk was rich and famous; those kids and any other faceless poor has no value or meaning to these folks even though the only reason these fucks are rich and famous is because of the fucking faceless poor. I hate it here.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 18 hours ago

Partially, but it's also related to the fascism our country is under now. Prominent non-government people who are on the government's "side" are treated as if they actually are part of the government, because the corruption means they essentially are.

His death helped the world see who's far right. Very interesting

Vaguely enjoyed them before. Avoiding them won't really hurt me. I mean I still would, but I'm not losing anything by avoiding them.

I'm now actually gaining something by avoiding them (avoiding a negative).

Looks like the corporate rock fans are mad that their band is a corporate rock band

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 16 points 1 day ago

And i think thats a good thing. You should be free to like whatever kind of music, even if its the worst garbage imaginable to my ears.

Does not mean you have to accept political shit-takes from the creators.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's like how Jack Black had to pretend to be mad at Kyle bc he's in so many big budget movies.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hated how he reacted to that and people were defending him. Over a joke. Black has done some dirty shit, but supposedly got so upset over that joke he cancelled a tour. Fuck him too. #teamkyle

[–] the_artic_one@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I assumed it was less that he was mad and more that he didn't want to get shot by some right-wing nut.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Actually the opposite. He's hoping to continue getting shot by right wing nuts. That's why he can't be controversial or they won't cast him.

[–] tankfox@midwest.social 1 points 20 hours ago

If only, I am so tired of chubby carrot top.

[–] CptOblivius@lemmy.world 58 points 1 day ago

People in the back.

[–] NoodlePoint@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

He should be knowing first before making such statements pertaining to peace and coexistence. Especially if the subject matter happens to be an extremely vile personage with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 26 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I guess you don’t get to choose family, but not sure how this was a high priority for Chris Martin given everything else going on at the moment.

Hell no, Tool is awesome (as a band, i'm not so sure on their views).

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 96 points 1 day ago (2 children)

oh my god, as someone who hated Coldplay with passion for a quarter century, I feel so vindicated. thank you.

[–] ZMonster@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Seriously, to think that for years I was wrong about why I hated fucking Coldplay. Only Coldplay could make me like Nickelback

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

As someone who resisted the internet “cool” thing to shit on this band, please allow me to be extremely disappointed by this article. Holy shit.

That's how I felt back when I first found out.

🤦😂

Seriously, to think that for years I was wrong about why I hated fucking Nickelback. Only Nickelback could make me like Saliva.

I can do this all day. I'm a baby bird, feed me.

Why are Coldplay concerts suddenly this relevant?

Kirk was a man full of hate. Why should I feel any obligation to send any love to him?

Curious how he doesn't send love to the families of children killed in the school shooting that very same day. What did they mean by that? Logically it can't be he's just sending out good feelings because of a tragic situation otherwise he would have mentioned the school shooting, so that means that Coldplay must specifically endorse Charlie Kirk and his rhetoric. That's The Logical conclusion I draw.

I advocate that we start calling anyone calling for sympathy for this shit bag woke. See how quick it flips their script suddenly doing woke things.
