It’s not the case…it just happens sometimes? It doesn’t count when it does happen because it’s capitalism? We have to ignore when it happens because if people realized, they would be too distraught?
I genuinely don’t understand what’s doing on with this comment.
I thought it might be interpreted as mean spirited which wasn’t the intention and assumed nobody had seen it yet anyway. I’ll bring it back just for you!

ngl, it is, a touch, but, I mean, seriously, “no it’s ok because capitalism and don’t tell people or they’ll kill themselves” lol, um, wut? lol … there is no other way to respond to that.
It isn’t the case that stage musicians need to be government approved. It is the case that high-profile acts at high profile shows are being censored. There is a huge difference.
*and thanks for bringing your comment back, it was civil and i was happy to clarify
I think the line between needing corporate approval for your music, and needing government approval for your music is a blurry one, and it is difficult to judge what actually happens from the outside. The people who grant the corporate approval play golf, do drugs, and get hookers with people in government, so the government could have politely asked the capitalists to ban the act. Let’s not undersell the deep alignment between corporate and government power.
