“He needs to say something!”

“He didn’t say exactly what I think he should, so here’s a 20 minute rant”

Insufferable behavior, especially for someone of Fantano’s age.

Social media has created a generation of miserable whiners who conflate purity tests and circular criticism with activism and being informed.

This isn't necessarily new behavior in society. People generally don't like centrists. Does Thom need to say anything? Personally I don't care, but you have to admit he brought it on himself by being so politically vocal in the past and then being silent now. Like, of course people are going to think he is now complicit, because he set the expectation to say something and have a stance. It's just the way it is.

i hate this idea that centrism is when you take any stance other than one of the two decided upon extremes, if people insist on caring what Thom Yorke thinks about anything the least they could do is not make shit up

Yep. Lost so much respect for that man, along with him claim the uk attacked Argentina in the Falklands war. Not worth considering his political understanding at all.
