He's a victim of being an asshole, he is a victim of himself, he believes bullshit, spouts it and pays the social price. He has his POV, it's just that everybody else thinks he's full of shit and are not interested in what he has to say. I'd worry more about the state cancelling what people say, books, ideas and fashion choices. Not private people making individual choices like not drinking Bud lite or shopping at Target because they are weak minded and easily fooled. People change the channel when this guy or Trump shows up spouting horse shit and Russian disinformation, he is at best a useful idiot.

I'm speechless.
people are afraid of other with a strong self character. He will survive. the world need more people that do not fall inline with the current trend. nothing I weaker than a follower.
He spoke his mind. People are free to disagree. Would you prefer people who aren't fascist sympathizers be silent?

He might be in legal trouble in Germany for including Nazi symbols in a concert. Waters is an adult and can decide for himself how to behave. On the other hand, do the crime, get caught, do the time and don't be a whining pussy. Of all places on the web, people posting here should know that.

Eh, he's free to do and say what he wants. If people don't like what an entertainer has to say they are free to stop paying attention to them. If his statements over shadow people enjoying the music, well tough shit for him.

Entertainers pitching a fit about getting canceled is dumb. They are in the business of having the public like them, if they act in a way that makes the public not like their art/performance...well that's too bad.

Maybe waters is a has been that hasn't put out material in 30 years, its not cancel culture when you are trying to blame someone for the public not caring about you anymore.

His lawsuit against other members of the original Pink Floyd to prevent them from performing under that name claimed without him, the band was artistically bankrupt or something obnoxious and narcissistic like that. I once had a roommate who had one of Water's early releases after the break-up and he played it a lot. His work never even approached what Pink Floyd did after the breakup.

Big ego, narcissist, thinks he's great when he's not. Small wonder he thinks he can ignore Germany's laws. We'll see if there are consequences. But I simply don't care what he says about Russia and Ukraine. Regarding politics, he's a lightweight.

Has been? He still doin ok for 79 and still packing them in.
He was born in England in 1943. His idea of war is different than yours but its his right to have it and to speak it. Its also anyone's right to disagree with him.

One of my fav Floyd tracks.

Well, to the point I was trying to make, then I guess he isn't that offensive to his audience and can say what he wants without it causing them to not like his performances.

Kanye is a good extreme example. People bought tickets to his show, he yelled at them about Jesus and then left...the artist was no longer entertaining to the fans so they stopped caring but he complained about cancel culture (and the jews) as the reason. If you as an entertainer stop entertaining your fans, then it's not cancel culture, you just stopped being entertaining and mistakenly thought you were more important than you were.

fuck entertainers with opinions. when they have a degree in a subject they're talking about, i'll listen, no degree, they're just another loud mouthed fuck with an opinion i could not possibly give a fuck less about.
when very popular ones cancel themselves with their mouths and attitudes, i have ZERO sympathy...
And that is the only thing waters is a victim of, his own big mouth.
