We need the music world to be as radical as it was in the Vietnam era, because this war is looking like it's going to be far worse.

The company that puts on and profits from Coachella is on the side of the genociders.

Is there a video of it?

Has anybody heard more of their upcoming album than Going Shopping? I was going to buy tickets to their show later this year, but I really don't care for the new single. Hoping the rest of the album is different.

I was unaware of the US bombing Gaza.

It's US bombs striking Gaza, provided to Israel by the USA. So, kinda?

Reading comprehension issue, I'm afraid.

[–] Pman@lemmy.org -1 points 4 hours ago

Not reading comprehension just poor sentence structure, the way the sentence is written, with no separating comma for example, the statement states that the US is involved actively in both bombing Iran and Gaza. The Oxford comma is useful. If you/the original commenter mean that the fact that US bombs are being used in Gaza means the US is involved in bombing Gaza then you could just as easily say that Iran has actively been attacking Israel since October 7th 2023 since the evidence shows they provided not only some of the attack plans for that terrorist attack for multiple reasons but also provided the rockets training and funding gg for Hamas for that attack. I am not justifying US involvement in the middle east but my pet peeves are double standards, poor logic, and not communicating your point accurately, and that post could potentially be any or all of those.
