Not true.
I think just about every poster in the thread has said they are ok working with someone with opposing views.
You have a continual issue staying in context, Chris. I said "people", not most people. They also said they'd work with them, but then added belittling content about the opinions of those people. Your post specifically said just what I repeated. You diminished the opinion of others who have alternate views by inferring that people who aren't left leaning aren't empathetic or feeling of the trials of some other people. I used some of your exact words.
I'm of the opinion that you don't recognized your slights at others who aren't left leaning.
Being left in the arts is the safe thing, so you can work with
fewer trials. Do you expect that you've had nearly the lowest of personal trials of
most people here? Or have you had much more fortunate experiences than most people here?
99% of my gigs in 40+ years, politics has never come up, is never discussed.
And?! That is the opposite of this topic.
If you are playing music which celebrates values that don't align with your own?
Wat???
That is up to the individual.
If you are professional you likely have options. I opt not to work with racist, homophobic people as a rule.
Ok. That sounds righteous on it's face, but we all know that the current approach is to falsely label people as extremist for not agreeing with things viewed as unhealthy behavior/examples for others, and those labeled people suffer character attacks with words
like racist, homophobic, etc..
I haven't seen the video, but I heard part of 1 conversation on talk radio. I know that once people are labeled as extremist they start looking at actual truths in the subject and start illustrating the hypocrisies to others.
Lastly, could it be that the video/song was intended to be shocking for the media exposure? Alice Cooper, Madonna did shocking things for attention.
