Why would I care what someone who admits to being racist regarding “white Anglo guy[s]”says on the internet? I care more about facts presented by non-racists.

He’d probably say:
Taiwan is a teacup
There’s a frog in my hair
Butterflies floating on candy-floss flowers
And pickles in papers are dandy and rare

See? Israel has democratic accountability. Can you imagine China allowing this kind of a report from its largest human rights organization?
And he wouldn’t be wearing clothes either.
You won’t believe whose concert I’m at right now.

I’ll always love and listen to the music of Pink Floyd. That said, Roger Waters is a cunt. This latest stupidity is incredibly moronic. He doesn’t seem to grasp basic facts about Taiwan and China. His views on Russia’s war on Ukraine are also ridiculous.
He was always a dickhead. His treatment of fellow Pink Floyd member Richard Wright late in Pink Floyd’s career was very disappointing.

Remember, anyone who doesn’t agree with how Israel handles itself domestically or otherwise is a Jew-hater and anti-semite. There is zero tolerance for not liking what Israel does or how it handles its affairs.

He does say things that sound too close to antisemitic tropes about Jews and power, but then I went to his concert last week because my friend got free tickets, and I found out he’s conspiratorial about everything.

I’ve seen this happen, but Waters goes beyond this type of defense, which is usually misused anyway.
That’s just the nature of the ‘debating’ beast these days. What do people who support aspects of Israeli foreign policy or criticise, say, Palestine get called?
I understand that’s how they shut down any criticism, and it’s not working as well anymore.
But we’re talking about Roger Waters.

Damned if you Jew, damned if Jew don’t I like to say.
I’m glad the rest of Pink Floyd knows Waters is just a provocateur spitting out nonsense to seem “revolutionary” and edgy.
