Leftard is as leftard does
“2017 has become the year that women have spoken out against injustice and abuse by those in power. Lorde has become to her generation what Rosa Parkes, Jane Fonda, Kate Shepherd, and many others were to theirs.”
Ffs , actually the Jane Fonda one is probably accurate, a self absorbed misguided fool.

I feel sorry for Lorde.
Depending on where you sit on the multi-dimensional spectrum she got fucked over.
Basically bullied into chucking in the concert. All of a sudden she is making a statement in support of Palestine.
She just wanted to sing somewhere and make some cash.
But because Palestine is a cause célèbre for the left ...

I've worked with a fair few Israelis in software development - a lot of whom were born Jewish but don't necessarily go hardline on it. Most of them were pretty chilled out, and generally funny people.
When the topic comes up, most of them shrug and move on. They're just happy to be able to drive around without the hassle they get in some places back home with security forces etc.
There were a few exceptions. One woman I work with married into a Jewish family and had to jump through all the hoops to get there. She is always bitching about her husband's laziness and putting up with her family's shit.
Fuck she got seriously fired up when I stated Israel was not helping by seizing territory and kicking people out of their houses. I'd previously stated that by the same token, people firing rockets into civilian areas was fucked. Israel fully deserve to have a state if they can beat off superior forces like they did last century, but don't be shunts about it.
She started to get a bit spiky, then suddenly had to run off to a meeting.

I don't feel the least bit sorry for her, she was happy to play in Russia and Trumps America .

It's funny isn't it. OK to perform in China and Russia. OK to fly with or endorse airlines from countries where homesexuality is illegal. OK to perform in countries with rampant corruption. Yet apparently performing in the only genuine democracy in the Middle East is completely beyond the pale.
The knee-jerk accusation of anti-semitism at criticism of Israel is utter bullshit, but fark me you have to wonder sometimes.

That is an unfortunate distraction from the actual topic, Ive seen words to the effect that "lorde refused to play to a stadium full of jews" somewhere which while true isn't really the point here. Despite the pathetic fawning like the crap I posted its a world away from the anti apartheid protests of the past.
Up until a week ago she was quite happy to play there and being as insipidly right on as she likes to present herself as being theres absolutely no way she didn't know about the situation in Israel. The BDS movement saw a weak target and went for her and she and her pr people weighed up the bad publicity of playing there versus the good publicity of not playing there, calculated the sums and decided not to play.
Hero to a generation? Bitch please. -
Jason Flom, the guy that signed Lorde and also Katy Perry is a bit of an SJW so I doubt she's been getting great advice recently. There was also that tweet where she tried to apologise on behalf of white people and said "we" must do better, which didn't exactly endear her to many people in the US or around the world. She'd do well to just stay the fuck out of politics as much as possible like her "besty" Taylor Swift does.

He's probably the reason Katy Perrys career has been going down the toilet since she decided to go the full retard politically.
Shame because

Indeed, you can only beat the meat to the same thing so many times. Need fresh material. Katy is no longer delivering, I feel @Virgil's pain.
As an aside, the outrage at Ames not wanting to fuck guys that do gay porn highlighted everything that is wrong with all the morally superior retards on social media today.
