I don’t think they make much money off of the Israeli state. People who commit warcrimes or want to set a precedent for validating genocides sure do, but I’m not sure about these folks. I’m sure their amount of money isolates them from caring too much, but supporting it…?
Obviously not directly from the state of Israel 😂. There’s enough fanatic people in the US that would absolutely boycott and blackball their careers if they came out against Israel. And they like money so they aren’t going to jeopardise that.
Conservatives aren’t as numerous as they think they are. There are definitely too many of those mouth breathers voting for Trump and shit but corporations have realized that it’s more profitable to drop them for a while now.
It’s not like Taylor Swift would lose any significant money or fanbase with the loss of the kind of people who whine about her very existance. They already hate her for far less. It’s not like the Bud Light boycott where 90% of the people drinking that stuff kinda just suck.
So maybe this makes my point, or maybe it makes yours that even losing those ten shitty people isn’t worth it to those artists. I dunno.
Although I’m willing to bet their PR bet is to say nothing about what Israel is doing for fear of being ruined. And not by Conservative Trump voters. Otherwise they’d have come out by now strongly condemning what Israel is doing, right?
I mean yes if they come out saying that Zionism is cool actually then they’ll have a big problem on their hands(and so they would deserve). If they come out saying Zionism is kinda fucked up and genocide is bad then the only people who would be mad are the kinda people who can go fuck themselves and also probably don’t make up a significant amount of their customer base. Any that actually do listen to their music, in the face of any ridicule from others on the right, probably also are at least anti-genocide enough to not stop listening to those artists.
It’s all hypothetical, of course, but I’d say it’s a safe bet. They probably just want to stay neutral and not catch strays which I sorta get. High profile people don’t need the security risk from all the bomb threats and shit.
