An absolutely phenomenal explanation of the current Ed Sheeran/Macklemore issue. Elica absolutely nails it, especially with the following line. The full context is there if you watch the whole clip, of course: “True humanity doesn’t have a f**king tier system.” That line really gets to the heart of the problem. You cannot constantly preach about compassion, humanity and standing up for innocent people, only to suddenly become selective about whose suffering matters. If your empathy only applies when the victims fit your politics, your ideology or whatever cause is fashionable at the time, then it isn’t really humanity at all. Watch the full clip. She explains it brilliantly.
