Woke watch

[arsene york-hunt]

"There is a very good section on GB news where the ludicrous idiocies of Wokeness are looked at I thought we would should have one for WHO. I'll start with Baptiste on BBC: In Hungary,an ambassador's family are kidnapped by Islamic terrorists and carry out atrocities. At the end of the last episode Baptiste finds out that it is a false flag operation and conveniently, the real culprits are white supremacists who want to stop all immigration. Coronation Street ITV a gay black footballer is stopped by the police, because he is driving an expensive car. He is pushed to the ground during an altercation, and damages his leg threatening his career. Could have been written by Dawn Butler or a BLM activist."

twoleftfeet 2:17 Sat Jan 29 Who's toys are they and what right does Spotify tell them how to play with them. Nobody is being denied access to their music unless they're a lazy fat fucking slob for who using a search engine is too much fucking bother - in which case they are the ones denying themselves..

"tlf I'm not sure it's fascist. Fascism would be, 'you will take Rogan off and play my stuff all the time or there will be consequences'. They are just saying, 'it's him or me'. As I said before, I think their protest is virtue-signalling, egotistical and shows them to be entirely out of touch. I also think it's a tad illiberal, which makes them hypocrites. It's also the kind of protest which is easy to make since they are both multi-millionaires who long ago realised the full value of the asset they are now pretending to forego. It's not fascist, though. Just a bit cunty."

"Just flicked on the TV for a bit, and saw there was live FUTSAL on BT Sport 1. Thought it might be worth a watch. Turns out it's women's Futsal. If you've got BT Sport, please stick it on for 2 minutes. It's an equivalent standard to men's blind football. I'm sitting here with a raging hangover, laughing my bollocks off."

Because they are saying “ you either pick us or you pick him “ “ we don’t agree with his views and if you offer him a platform we will pick up our toys and go “ Do you you understand now?

"How the fuck are they ""trying to quell freedom of speech""? All they are doing is saying that they don't want their artistic work sharing a platform with someone else's artistic work - as they are fully entitled to do. If the platform refuses to take down that particular artist, they are free to use another platform and let the artist they object to carry on. Fuck all to do with them if Spotify make a commercial decision on who to stream."

zebthecat 1:51 Sat Jan 29 Re: Woke watch Spotify and Daniel Ek in particular have always been utter cunts. Spotify is generating billions every year for the music industry. Spotify is also allowing free speech. Admittedly Ek has made a mint too.

"riosleftsock 1:40 Sat Jan 29 Re: Woke watch Neil Young sold the rights to his back catalogue a while back , so not sure how that works. He sold 50% of his catalogue's rights for $150 million ( apparently although it's not clear). This would still give him the right to his moral rights. In this case he expressed his will and Spotify complied. Not sure how his publisher felt about it all."

"It's 2022. If Joannie and Neil think that 2022 Joannie + 2022 Neil => Joe Rogan they are sadly mistaken. 40 years ago their plan might have worked. Having said that, they have a perfect right to flog their old music wherever they want. I see their protest as egotistical and misguided virtue-signalling, rather than actually fascistic."

2 ageing hippies from the 60s who fought against government control via their songs now doing exactly the same and trying to quell freedom of speech. Fuck em.

Spotify is the biggest streaming platform for music & spoken word podcasts I understand. If you are on there with your content not sure why you'd imagine you'd agree with EVERY other contributor. Or give a shit about that I think thats slightly different if you sign to a particular record company because you prefer their OEUVRE but Spotify is just a free for all.

"Its worth going on twitter just to follow James Blunt, who somehow is the funniest fucker on there with very few words per tweet. He's threatened spotify that if they don't remove Rogan's podcast then he will release new music onto the platform."

She'll get the same abuse JK got now

"Like him or hate him, Rogan is certainly making waves. The way people want to hear opinions & the news is changing."

[BRANDED]

"If people want to listen to these two acts they have loads of ways to do it including cds, vinyl, downloads. I recommend some kind of free downloads options as thats what Spotify replaced."

[Kaiser Zoso]

"Joni Mitchell has joined Neil Young in withdrawing permission for Spotify to list their music, in response to Joe Rogan's podcast which they have labelled misinformation. Where they were rebelling against oppression when they were making popular music, they have gone full circle and have now become the very thing they rebelled against, without any apparent self awareness. 'On Monday, Young said the streaming platform must choose either him, or the podcaster Joe Rogan.' Well, that should take all of two seconds to decide. I guess punters will have to forego the opportunity to listen to 50 year old tracks from two forgettable acts."

Well done her for making a stand. She will now be sacked for having her own opinion. Don’t get me started on rainbow laces.

Imagine being so woke that you end up cancelling yourself.

"LH. I saw that a while back. I quite like Kearse,his stand up routines at ' comedy unleased' are worth a look. I'm a big fan of C.U.,they let comedians say what they want to and dont bow an inch to the woke mob."

[Leatherhead Hammer]

"I came across this video where a comedian called Leo Kearse tries to debate Dr Shola Mos-bamimu about cancel culture, on GMB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc7OnvuES0k I say tries to debate, because Dr Shola is an irrational race baiting psycho."
