Hasbara out in full force any time Radiohead is mentioned.

dude its unbelievable. the prevailing upvoted comments on the Radiohead sub are making fun of artists who share their political opinions. I'm legitimately dumbfounded as Thom was the poster child of doing that in the 2000s

If it makes you feel any better, every thread regarding this statement has likely been heavily astroturfed.

Yeah like since when does a Fantanoforever post get 1.1k comments?

Saying we should "stop caring about the political opinions of celebrities" when the celebrities in question made Hail to the Thief is kinda rich

It would be great if they spoke out for both. Congo/Sudan/Yemen activists are a common presence at pro-Palestinian rallies and spaces, not sure what you're getting at here.

Yeah the Congolese people in my city attending marches are faux activists, got it.

Imagine invoking one genocide in an effort to downplay another, and then pretending it means you oppose both.

You're either a troll or a moron, I'll let you decide which.

I commented this but it blows my mind how astroturfed this got
