DEATH DEATH TO THE IDF
New fan here
💃 🪩 🩰 DEF DEF TO THE IDF 💃 🪩 🩰
he is a punk musician.
being banned from everything for having an opinion makes it sound like he did his job well.

“Bob Vylan” is the name of group, not the frontman.
aahh, i did not know that - ty
His popularity will only grow from this, same with Kneecaps
I certainly had no idea who they were before this. And I quite liked a music video of theirs.
Literally never heard of them until this past week. Bought 3 albums off their bandcamp and they’re actually so fucking good
You just inspired me to buy CDs, but music is digital. I’ll have to search a bit more to see if I can get physical music (I’m an old guy who prefers that) or not before I pull the trigger on digital goods. I’ll check after work.
Hey office workers in the USA: three day weekend. I hope you’re into debauchery!
i suspect that kapernick would beg to differ how the popularity will pan out.
He’s still been given sponsorships, with the added bonus (or really a trade-off) of not giving his body, and brain function (CTE) to a sport, for money.
This is a good counterpoint – there’s a real career risk here, which is part of what makes it such a meaningful statement – but Kaepernick was in a very different employment situation. For him, taking substandard offers (whatever non-NFL pro league was active at the time) wasn’t worth it because of injury risk. So he had only 32 possible employers (realistically, fewer had QB needs) and they actively collude all the time. Extremely easy to get blackballed in that environment.
Bob Vylan will lose money off this, but they can find smaller venues to play and doing so can’t jeopardize their career the same way a knee injury in the USFL could for Kaepernick. It’s not a career ender.
Sports bros and punks are kind of different demographics though.
Sometimes the issue you highlight is worth losing some things.
i’m glad nike gave him the endorsement; he’s going to need the money since no football team or league will ever give him a serious chance at a livelihood for the rest of his life.
Isn’t his net worth in the millions?
Nike supports apartheid, no one should take their money or buy their products
The Anti-Sweatshop Against Apartheid website created a series called “The Cashing in on Apartheid” which highlights brands profiting from the occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The focus here is on Nike, which is accused of financially benefiting from Israel’s colonisation through its renewable energy purchases and manufacturing ties in occupied Palestinian land.
yeah, wo the endorsement, he would have had to work a life like mine; obscure and unknown. lol
Everyone should be able to live a comfortable life regardless of occupation, that should be goal at least imo
Bump the NFL out of the way. Kapernick is the celebration, as Bob Vylan and Roger Waters are the celebration. And corgiwithalaptop.
Tell me more about this corgiwithalaptop?
Their post history is available, afaik.
?
They are openly advocating against an ongoing genocide that our governments are funding unconditionally in opposition to the vast majority of the populations
And I don’t think Kapernick’s activism made him any less popular, I also don’t follow football
you’d think that this kind of altruism would be well received; but sacheen littlefeather proved that even the most bleeding heart liberals do not receive your message well if it contradicts their own understanding of the world.
Well, liberalism is ultimately incompatible with human rights. As evident by how it historically and currently sides with fascism and the existence of liberal zionism
Time for those festivals to start feeling the heat then.
How DARE Bob Vylan
BOMB SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS!Bring attention to People Bombing SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS!There’s always one idiot that doesn’t realize this is a satire account.
Boycott those festivals, or if you are a musician playing those festivals time to speak the fuck up
Yeah real punk bands should speak up every time this happens (deplatforming) until it’s simply not possible to organize punk festivals without inevitably a performer doing something that enrages the zionist lobby in retribution for these cowards bending the knee so the choice is either cancel punk festivals or stand up to the zionist lobby.
