So Coldplay sucking isn’t just a meme…
Yeah I always wondered why they got hate, I guess I know.
Their older stuff was good, but after a few albums the music just sounds like generic pop.
Also the type of people that listen to Cold Play are either not that into politics, or definitely aren’t Charlie Kirk fans. That venn diagram is just two separate circles.
Curious how he doesn’t send love to the families of children killed in the school shooting that very same day. What did they mean by that? Logically it can’t be he’s just sending out good feelings because of a tragic situation otherwise he would have mentioned the school shooting, so that means that Coldplay must specifically endorse Charlie Kirk and his rhetoric. That’s The Logical conclusion I draw.
Kirk was a man full of hate. Why should I feel any obligation to send any love to him?
He was pro gun violence and anti empathy. It goes against everything he believed and stood for to send love. These jackasses pretending to care are just masturbating their own ego to make themselves come off as some paragon in divided times. Kirk died for what he believed in while doing what he loved. We should all be glad he did. Even those foolish enough to listen to him and support him should be able to see that.
Nuance: Martin’s request concerned Kirk’s family, not Charlie himself. Let’s not stray from the facts. The other side does that enough.
For all we know, they might be lovely people (unlikely, but hey.)
Still, weird request, and I would have joined the booing in the moment, I think.
Well, his wife said that the movement didn’t stop with his death and that “if you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before you have no idea, you have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world” so probably safe to say she’s a horrible, minority-bashing white nationalist as well.
Still, no one mentions the families of the kids murdered, why is he special? Why is his family special? Him and his hateful wife who are probably brain washing those children.
Honestly, hearing his views, they both seem much better off without him. ESPECIALLY if either of them are queer.
he spread and fomented hate, on impressionable college age students, to recruit them into the right wing manospheres. which is why conservative groups are trying to elevating him as some kind of saint.
Spite?
The fact that someones feelings don’t care about his facts also is kinda funny.
oh my god, as someone who hated Coldplay with passion for a quarter century, I feel so vindicated. thank you.
Seriously, to think that for years I was wrong about why I hated fucking Coldplay. Only Coldplay could make me like Nickelback
Wow, let’s not use this as an excuse to try normalizing Nickelback
ok just because we agree on Coldplay doesn’t mean I’m gonna tolerate Nickelback apologia.
We can meet in the middle Saliva. Click click boom eh?
Wow, let’s not use this as an excuse to try normalizing Nickelback
Both can be correct
As someone who resisted the internet “cool” thing to shit on this band, please allow me to be extremely disappointed by this article. Holy shit.
That’s how I felt back when I first found out.
🤦😂
Seriously, to think that for years I was wrong about why I hated fucking Nickelback. Only Nickelback could make me like Saliva.
I can do this all day. I’m a baby bird, feed me.
I miss Never mind the Buzzcocks. Can someone reach out to Noel Fielding for a comment on this news?
All that goodwill(?) from the cheating CEO hilarity ruined by pandering to the cheer squad of some dickhead.
I advocate that we start calling anyone calling for sympathy for this shit bag woke. See how quick it flips their script suddenly doing woke things.
They’re already doing cancel culture so let em be woke now too, fuck it
I dunno I couldn’t give less of a fuck about him but I do feel bad for his kids
In his own words, kids should witness public executions. He literally wanted his kids to see this. Do you really feel bad for the kids knowing that he would have just indoctrinated them too? I feel like they were liberated from a lifetime of abuse.
Hey i really dislike punishing kids something they can’t control, for example having dipshits as parents or being poor. I would argue them not seeing a person get shot and not be indoctrinated is the best outcome.
Now, again, remember that their father would WANT them to watch someone get shot. It’s not “either or”. He’s a dipshit father AND he wants to subject them to abuse like watching an execution.
You’re basically just saying “yeah, it would be great if they had completely different parents”. Sure, that’s true. But they have the parents they have and one of those parents is a racist piece of shit who would work to make them racist pieces of shit. Someone who if they were raped would force them to carry the baby to term and raise it.
At least in this circumstance there’s the possibility that when they get older and learn about WHY their dad was shot, they might see how terrible his positions were and not want to be like him. Instead of being raised by the man who would likely make them watch other people be killed and laugh about it.
Do I really need to remind you of his stance on Nancy Pelosi’s husband? He was asking people to bail out the attacker because he was a true patriot.
Dude was a piece of shit and everyone who no longer gets influenced by him is better off, full stop. Nothing that happened to him is anything that he wouldn’t have celebrated if it was “one of them”.
Those kids are better off.
I am not disagreeing with you about them being better off without the dude. I just made the case for being in favor of the best possible result, yknow, where there is no punishment based on kinship. I don’t see how anyone profits from adhering to any of kirks ideas.
Who is punishing the kids?
They’re only part of the discourse because people who “feel bad for them” keep dragging them into it. The best thing anyone can do for them is to stop bringing them up. They’re completely irrelevant the monstrous things that Charlie Kirk was doing.
Deciding that kids should be exposed to such violence is decidedly punishing them.
I agree they shouldn’t be brought up, but they were.
Why? Cuz now their dad can’t force them to have their rape baby like he went on record as wanting?
He said that if his daughters get raped he would make them give birth and take care of the rapists baby. They are absolutely better off without him.
Why? I’d be glad if my father died. Preferably before bringing me into this shithole
Sending love to his family? That sounds awfully like that New Age empathy shit, don’t you know how much damage that causes?
Best I can do is sympathy, sending tots 'n pears.
People in the back.
Fuck Coldplay.
Why are Coldplay concerts suddenly this relevant?
Their new album, HotTakes, is wild
Go on…
Looks like the corporate rock fans are mad that their band is a corporate rock band
It’s like how Jack Black had to pretend to be mad at Kyle bc he’s in so many big budget movies.
I hated how he reacted to that and people were defending him. Over a joke. Black has done some dirty shit, but supposedly got so upset over that joke he cancelled a tour. Fuck him too. #teamkyle
I assumed it was less that he was mad and more that he didn’t want to get shot by some right-wing nut.
Actually the opposite. He’s hoping to continue getting shot by right wing nuts. That’s why he can’t be controversial or they won’t cast him.
If only, I am so tired of chubby carrot top.
And i think thats a good thing. You should be free to like whatever kind of music, even if its the worst garbage imaginable to my ears.
Does not mean you have to accept political shit-takes from the creators.
His death helped the world see who’s far right. Very interesting
I’ve never liked Coldplay, the singer always came off as douchy.
And now we have empirical confirmation.
I guess you don’t get to choose family, but not sure how this was a high priority for Chris Martin given everything else going on at the moment.
Unless you adopt.
You comment spurred me to read more.

Sorry, are we linking propaganda?
On the face of it, I don’t have an issue with saying this, as his family weren’t the ones preaching hate. But choosing to single out this particular person’s family rather than all the other recent shooting victims is a bad look.
Everyone grieves differently, but his wife literally turned around and used his corpse for Instagram content before he was even in the ground! Add it to the list of videos I wish I hadn’t watched this week
Plus that wonderful speech she gave about how her husbands death was a rallying cry to the right to take care of the libs, so, like fuck her too.
It’s pretty much a given that anyone who would marry him must be an awful person.
It’s cause Charlie Kirk was rich and famous; those kids and any other faceless poor has no value or meaning to these folks even though the only reason these fucks are rich and famous is because of the fucking faceless poor. I hate it here.
Partially, but it’s also related to the fascism our country is under now. Prominent non-government people who are on the government’s “side” are treated as if they actually are part of the government, because the corruption means they essentially are.
You have to remember also he is not American, and Charlie wasn’t hugely known outside of the US, and his death has received massive coverage
