The net result that this happened, or if this had never happened, my life isn't going to impacted in any way. But I'm bored so Ill opine.
Young's song 1970 “Ohio,” with Crosby, Stills, and Nash served as a protest against the U.S. government following the National Guard killing of four students and wounding of nine others during a protest at Kent State University.
Young remained a figure in counter cultural politics in the decades to come, taking up a number of left-liberal causes, generally arguing against the authority of governments or corporations to coerce or suppress people.
And NOW he, along with is fellow leftists, is trying to coerce Spotify to suppress Rogan based on what he sees as "misinformation".
Biden said “You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations,”.....where is Young and his fellow leftists on going after Biden for spreading misinformation? CNN’s Don Lemon claimed that podcast host Joe Rogan took “horse dewormer”....Rogan took a prescription for HUMANS given to him by his HUMAN DOCTOR, not a veterinarian But Young and his ilk didn't call on CNN to cancelled Lemon for spreading misinformation.
The left claims they are in favor of "diversity"....unless it's diversity of thought.
But as an ACTUAL liberal, unlike today's leftists (who now labeled me a conservative) I think Young, Rogan, Lemon and Biden should be free to say what ever they want without being cancelled.
If Young would have said he is leaving Spotify because he doesn't like some of what it has on their platform I would have respected his decision. I have no respect for Young because of the fact that he gave Spotify an ultimatum in a OPEN letter.....an ultimatum that was actually a threat.
I'm not a Rogan "fan", I don't listen to his podcast but I have heard some of the things he's said, some things I agree with some things I don't agree with.
