The Rules

...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And they have expressed their concerns with the military using their music in a terroristic way. - Source

That was twelve years ago, and "please don't use our music for torture" is the bare minimum for people who want plausible deniability without actually doing anything about the fact that people are being tortured.

I'm not sure what you expect from them. It should be enough that they don't want to be a part of the machine and have spoken out against being a part of that, but you want more. Perfection is the enemy of good.

They are celebrities, not political candidates. "Vote Blue No Matter Who" is disingenuous when the DNC weilds it, and not even remotely applicable to rich-ass celebrities whose entire political stance is to try to be "apolitical".
