I don't think he is, actually, but I do think his messaging is now so idiotic and moronic that he might as well be.The guys a racist fuck.
Racism is defined by the victim as per the McPherson report.I don't think he is, actually, but I do think his messaging is now so idiotic and moronic that he might as well be.
A source (from the inside of my head) indicates that Waters plans to enter a plea of "guilty but insane, and, like, who is the real Nazi, maaan?"
As mentioned above, whether he's an active racist or not is almost immaterial. He's become a self important controversialist and he puts his 'art' ahead of any real sense of building something with/for oppressed groups.As I think I said up thread the star of david pig seems to have been a one off from a few years ago that hasn't been repeated. The Wall and its use of fascist imagery are decades old, and in it's own self-indulgent way it's anti-fascist. I think that's something everybody understands if they watch it. I don't particularly care about Roger Waters latest rehash of his old songs but Germany is going down an authoritarian route visa vie the right to protest against Israel's actions see:
Where can we Palestinians mourn our catastrophe?
By banning our ability to mourn the Nakba, Germany is opening the floodgates to a new wave of repression against all aspects of Palestinian identity.www.972mag.com

Oh, and I bet those coats were leather.
She committed this crime:I can't believe Urban collectively can't dig out something dodgy that Cyndi Lauper allegedly said in the 80s.
Final Cut.I think as he's become more political and found that voice after leaving Floyd he's let politics and his stardom go to his head. Shame really because he's a talented song writer. Amused to Death for example has some brilliant songs on it.
Mr Waters is very much winning friends and influencing people.
His concert in Berlin last night... your jaw will drop further with each image on the thread.
Doesn't seem so.The guys a racist fuck.
But it’s not an SS UniformThis is just like an actor wearing an SS uniform on stage isn't it? I doubt the context is that he's a lovely bloke with great morals doing great things.
Roger "This Fucking Guy" Waters Latest:
Berlin police probe Pink Floyd's Roger Waters over Nazi-style uniform
Berlin police said Friday they were investigating Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters for incitement to hatred after he donned a Nazi-style uniform at a concert in the German capital.www.france24.com
Yeah, yeah, it's all from the smash hit album/movie the Wall. . . but come on, putting a Star of David on a pig? Could he really be that fucking thick and ignorant? Apparently he can.
As for going to Berlin and carrying on like this -
I mean, really.
Lewis Capaldi always seems like a nice, funny chap. Perhaps we could adopt him as Urban's fave popular music entertainer?
Just pointing out he has been a consistent supporter of the Palestinian people who are suffering an illegal occupation by an apartheid stateSouthlondon Yeah, the Wall is not pro Nazi (and the point of the uniform is not to be pro Nazi), but after that your post loses its way.
The Israeli state is indeed an apartheid state. But it’s perfectly possible to oppose it without crossing into blaming Jews in general. Which line Waters crossed with the Star of David pig, for example.Just pointing out he has been a consistent supporter of the Palestinian people who are suffering an illegal occupation by an apartheid state
And there it is folks! You confused anti-zionist with anti-Semitic didn't you? Are you sure, therefore, that you've never confused "Zionist" with "Jew"?The wall is not pro-nazi, it’s the opposite. Roger waters has been a constant defender of Palestinian rights against the barrage of pro-Zionist attacks that always seek to silence the voices of anyone who criticises the Israeli apartheid regime.
He is no more an anti Zionist than corbyn is

Rubbish. see above link to a Radio Chaos track (The tide is Turning) concerning the Live Aid phenomenon and the 1980s decimation of coal mining by the Thatcherite bullycunts. His music aint universally good, but contains some diamonds. Few musicians artists are pure, but many are good in parts like the curates egg. Roger is just that, a curates egg.I want to like him but his music is laughably bad.
