I don’t know. Macklemore is a pretty stand up guy and will stand by his morals. Plenty of people ain’t selling out and plenty of people stand up for what they believe in.

Kinda strange all the back lash for my choice here but y’all won’t give the same backlash for FF choice. Double standards much.

So if we can’t completely remove ourselves from every terrible company in society we shouldn’t even try at all.

That’s pretty apathetic don’t you think.

If we can’t stop all murders, why bother prosecuting any aye.

Thank you. I really do turn down money for what I believe in and I’m not rich, I just think there is more to life than money. As a software developer I could earn a lot more by working for say a gambling company, but I wouldn’t do that as I find the industry particularly morally bankrupt.

You’re conflating what they have done wrong with what I finding morally acceptable. FF can do whatever the fuck they want and be fine, but they can’t do whatever the fuck they want and still receive my money or attention.

It’s not that deep. FF don’t even know I exist, and they’ll continue to be rich and successful. Just without me compromising my beliefs.

I don’t know if the devil performs these days but I think he would be quite fitting. Perhaps if Hitler was alive he could paint them some pictures.

I’m not trying to dictate who performs for the Amazon execs, just that whoever it is isn’t getting my money.

You know who does get my money, based on their moral fortitude and beliefs. Someone like Macklemore. I will support people whose beliefs align with mine.

I really don’t know how I can be any clearer than that and I find it staggering that I have to defend myself in here, but you are fine with FF performing for execs from one of the most parasitic companies in the planet. If FF and Amazon can do what they want without recourse then so can I no?

Let me ask you this. Do you just not care if you contribute to the worst aspects of society? Would you ever not give a company your money if it’s something you want?

I forgo a lot of purchases as I can only find them on Amazon. I’ll pay more to buy things elsewhere. I don’t support McD, I try to avoid nestle as much as humanly possible. I left Facebook over a decade ago when they did nothing about rampant misinformation. I don’t support Weatherspoons in the UK over how they treated staff during Covid. I wouldn’t bank with Barclays as they invest in Israel etc.

He assaulted a man on live TV and later was given an award and never faced any repercussions.

Also, over shadowed Samuel L Jackson’s night.

It changes how I feel about them because I refuse to support people that don’t hold the same morals as me.

I’m not saying they can’t perform here, just that their actions have consequences and they have to deal with that.

Does it matter in the grand schema of things? Not at all, but I know what my beliefs are and where I want to put my money.

Perhaps one day there will be a line that is over your moral boundary and I would support your right to make that choice.

Divisive. Just look at these comments.

The argument if it’s not them it’ll be someone else is pretty weak.

I may as well rob my neighbours house, if it isn’t me it might be someone else aye?

Yeah I’d rather they give it someone else if it goes against FF morals. I certainly would have turned it down if I were them.

It absolutely does equal endorsement.

I’ll make my life harder to avoid companies and people I don’t support.

Have a fucking backbone and stand up for what you believe in. Why should we contribute to the things we abhor?

Do you think you it’s justified perform for these people if they getting paid?

To be fair the right boycott things for being inclusive. I like to boycott things for being divisive or shitting on the little guy.

Does it matter? To the companies and people I boycott, probably not. But I know I’m not giving my money to people I don’t agree with.

Perhaps it’s not against Dave Grohl’s ethics but it’s certainly against mine so all I can do is add the Foo Fighters to the ever growing list of people or companies that don’t get my attention or money.

To be honest I’m thankful all this stuff is out in the open as I’m saving a lot of money.

I don’t shop on Amazon, don’t use social media, don’t eat McD, don’t buy Foo Fighters albums, don’t watch Will Smith movies, etc.

Well I guess I’ll be adding the Foo Fighters to my list of people that won’t be getting any money from me.

Does it matter? Sure it matters to me. I can sleep better knowing I’m not contributing to things I don’t agree with.

I expected better from Dave Grohl but here we are.

Interesting. Thanks.

Why doesn’t the developer accept donations?
