sigh unfortunately there are a lot of cases where one must choose between upholding principles and enjoying genuinely good creative art. Nathan W. Pyle, David Draiman, Joanne Rowling… I’m drawing the line after ‘personally enjoying it’ while ‘ensuring my money doesn’t support the creator / publisher directly’ and before ‘recommending others buy it’. I don’t agree with trying to stop people from enjoying it but I will encourage not allowing the problematic source to make money from it.
Depends on how harmful their activism and projects are. Frankly there are people with all sorts of opinions. Just being religious and having a different opinion doesn’t make me want to boycott or cancel anybody. Most people in my family have vastly different opinions to mine but I still love them. Depends on the harm being caused. Doesn’t mean principles are being compromised.
Overall his actual societal crime was consciously knowing his views of supporting mass violence are problematic and refusing to change or even accept a different worldview. He’s just another successfully conditioned Patriot.
Alas, it’s always strange how someone can be so vehement about something and still be vehement about the thing they care about doing what they think is being done.
I get the urge for jewish people to support each other, and the one country in the world that’s “theirs”. Totally understandable.
But when that country does the very things the people fear being done to them again, there’s that lack of sense to see the hypocrisy of it.

What did draiman do?
He has always been an outspoken “pro-Israel Jew” which is a bad sign for everyone else;
