Fans of Mumford? Fans of Winston? Thoughts below - Hit like and share!

[@paulwally9007]

Not a fan of Mumford. It's just not my cup of tea. Really love Winston. He seems super-sincere in a world of largely click-baity partisan KZbinrs. I had a different experience at a pro-Uyghur demonstration. It was held outside the Chinese embassy in London about two or three years ago. It seemed ALMOST EVERYONE there was Muslim. I've still got the free T-shirt. I think it's a topic most people are simply unaware of. There's been no Uyghur equivalent of the Dalai Lama to increase public knowledge, and many sections of the West aren't all that sympathetic to Muslims.

[@theoutsider6191]

Yeah , like Winston his view is always one of compassionate interest. He also seems like a decent individual. And for sure the University Leaders in the USA was unbelievable, you watch that clip and it simply is staggering that they all cannot bring themselves to say genocide of Jews is bad.... not real. And one of them in particular, Elizabeth Magill, kept on smiling while playing pathetic word games trying to not look like she really wanted to be in the 1940s German gang.... And then to find an African American Female, called Gay, also doing the same bullshit was like it was a SouthPark sketch....

And you also have to have a decent enough background of contextual knowledge.

Knowing that would prevent you from sounding like a complete asshole who thinks that reading is the antidote to Marxism, for instance.

BLM has turned out to be a fraudulent joke. The founding members have abused the better part of $90 million in charitable donations, they operate on false narratives with very dangerous intentions, and they have done little to none for the benefit of the any community. In fact one can definitely form a strong arguement that BLM has caused damage to many communities across America. The Police will no longer patrol some areas of Minneapolis. Crime is way up.The Police have been successfully defunded. That is not a good thing ... Winston was railroaded out of his band by the same Populist radical ideology that bleeds from BLM. I just have to make it known how shallow his band mates really are to let this minimal shit tear them apart. It's really unfortunate how possessed some people have become. Winston is the most open minded person amongst them.

Awesome conversation guys. Winston is brilliant, honest, genuine, and extremely well spoken....very impressed.

[@cordyone]

Its still so unfathomable to me that a rock and roll band could be so insipid, weak and spineless. There is no logic, no rebellion, no strength, no free will, no intelligence, and NO BALLS in Mumford and Sons! Winston left with his integrity. The manboys left in the band will forever have a niggling feeling in their tiny minds that they failed.

[@rgghjs9270]

He quit the band himself... He showed support for stuff the band didn't like, he quit. No one is entitled to have accomodations made to keep them in Mumford and sons. If their views clash, they clash. He can start his anti-antifa (double negative..?) band and everyone's happy.

[@rogerflack415]

Most people "quit" their job rather than get officially thrown out, so let's put that one to rest. Following your logic you would support, for example, an employer with strong religious beliefs sacking somebody because they liked a tweet supporting LGBTQ rights by saying well, they can go off and start their own business. I mean they have just brought it upon themselves, right? You should only work for someone if you share the same beliefs, blah, blah, blah. What nonsense.@@rgghjs9270

I’m a young 52 years old, I have a 10 year old boy who is funny, full of energy and never stops talking, I know that I influence him and my humour is from another time, so I fear he may step out of todays accepted guidelines. It’s extremely hard to navigate this but he is very smart and knows who he can say things to and who he cannot. I worry that moving forwards that no topic is safe, no joke is a joke, no comment can be taken as an opinion and no more. It feels like the situation is an ouroboros, when will it end and how will it end.

Gosh what a struggle. I hear it in your voices . What to express, what not to? How honest or authentic can I be or should I just evade and hide? I admire you both for your genuine desire to be honest despite a very realistic fear that speaking out endangers you. How exposed we have become and how externalised. I think we have to live our life from the inside out and the more aware of the inner unfolding of who I am the more consciously I can interact with the outside world if I choose to, which in truth is less and less. Trying to live from the outside-in means we lose a sense of who we truly are . There is so much noise, tumult, and chaos going on it is essential that we find stillness and grounding from within. Sitting in a space where we can hear ourselves is essential. That still small voice of calm doesn't come from out there.
