pink floyd twitter fandom is finally caught up on roger's political opinions and have a less positive opinion on him now
yeah, the same dudes who recently licked his heels and simply ignored replies to posts asking "What about Ukraine? What about Taiwan?"
ubelievable fr but i'm glad
when i look at all the posts about the Beatles, but i was in the fandom 7 years ago and even after all these years i still think that John and George have the most interesting and sensual relationship of the entire group
thank you
and i am not a bad person
I'm super sorry for sending that ask or thing. I just got really angry and thought you lied. I didn't think what I was doing either. I was just focused on getting everything right. Personally, I have a lot in my brain right now. Mostly it's about school and at home. I didn't read your whole thing because it hurt me already when I saw the replies. I don't know what I was doing. I thought you lied that you would stop and I thought you didn't. I didn't know you were going through a lot either. I hope I didn't affect you. I'm honestly not this type of rude person. Please forgive me, okay? 😭
To everyone else, please don't think of me as a bad person for what I did. I'm super scared for all of your reactions. I just wanted to tell the truth and make things right. I thought @mrooops was a bad person and I just judge them badly without thinking. Please don't hate on me.

I mean, it's not just the posts. David Gilmour and Polly Samson signed the letter thanking Biden. I saw his and Polly's liked tweets being pro-Israel.
I agree with you about Roger Waters, he should've never been pro-Russia in the first place
thank you for your answer, i really do appreciate any new info about that
so even if gilmour is a total dick also, i still kinda hate the comparison "waters is better than him", because they both support the wrong sides, so they're both assholes, there is no need to write that someone is worse or better. for me, if you do stuff like that, you are simply disparaging the situation in another country
Hi! Coming at you from my ancient blog that i made like a decade ago. I am the owner of confesspinkfloyd and I just wanted to say that I’m not stopping the political confessions because I don’t want to see any negativity towards Roger anymore. If that was the case, I wouldn’t post any negative confessions towards Roger to begin with. He has shitty political opinions, except about Israel and Palestine. I stopped because I suffer from depression and it was affecting my mental health. It brings a toll on me when any of the bands political affiliations show up in my inbox. I was willing to post when it was so few, but now that’s all that seems to take up my inbox, it takes a negative toll on my well being. The way I worded my post last night, I was tired. I would love to have a civil discussion so if you’d like, I can give you the blog I’m posting from. If not, then I completely understand.
i'm sorry, i didn't know about your mental health and stuff and i never tried to accuse you of anything. for the most part, you are doing an almost divine job in putting up with these negotiations between me and the anons.
i know that to many of you i may seem incredibly negative when i say anything about roger, but the truth is that i don't judge anyone for roger being your favorite member. and god no, i don't want you to ever change your mind about loving him. look, i draw him myself from time to time, he has really interesting facial features. i want to say that i was unhappy that everyone started writing that they were tired and they were annoyed by this, because this is very similar to the statements of people who are “tired” of someone else’s war because it exhausts them. it exhausts us also. but we live in it. and we have no other choice because no one talks about it anymore. and over the last 20 years, pink floyd have become very political and you can't tear that part of them away.
in general, it’s funny, i only made about a small part of these confessions and, apparently, some decided to pick them up too, but since my blog is the only one who talks about this quite publicly and often responds to these confessions, it’s not surprising that everyone thinks about me.
but what's more important to say is that i don't want it to look like i'm arguing with you or judging you for anything. i want to apologize for the fact that we all dragged you into this unpleasant situation and made you feel this way. i thought that you closed your political confessions because you just wanted to have fun and political stuff just annoyed you because it's not funny, i didn’t think that it would be related to your health. it would be a wise decision to close the political confessions now because everyone needs to cool down a bit.
yeah and i'm not a complete asshole, like many of you might think, i'm just brutally honest with you and i can be angry sometimes like anybody.
remember, your mental health is more important than roger waters and the things he says, so take care.
Jimmy Page for my dear friend
if anyone is interested in reading the story itself
and it’s not the wildest one in their case
when i look at all the posts about the Beatles, but i was in the fandom 7 years ago and even after all these years i still think that John and George have the most interesting and sensual relationship of the entire group
oh yeah and gilmour sucks because he supports AI, not because he dislikes waters
ok guys, no jokes, but what the fuck?
i want to touch a really really serious topic in pink floyd fandom rn and i want you all to listen to me at least once. i would really appreciate it if you spread this information. thank you
if you're the type of person who writes "well, waters is still better than gilmour" or "gilmour is a zionist", then just please unfollow me forever the fuck out
but it's ok i'll explain you why
gilmour actively supported the campaign in support of Palestine back in the 10s and he never expressed himself as a zionist. i can only assume that you all got this impression because he reposted an angry post about waters
well, a little backstory
while many believe that roger's political views are now quite correct, i want to remind you that he supports an aggressive invasion of the country where i live (Ukraine). if you are still interested, then yes, the war in Ukraine is still going on even if in the west now no one wants to pay attention to it anymore. for your understanding, on average we have 100 air raids in the city per month, at least once a week i definitely hear explosions and, yeah, i don’t live in a hot spot. and this guy just goes out and does an interview where he openly says that he supports the aggressor country. yeah, that's right, he was also allowed to speak at the UN council, where he said that the conflict was provoked. very smart. the same guy who said a couple of days before the war that those who believe that it will start are “out of their minds”
ok ok, but how does this relate to gilmore?
very simple. his daughter-in-law is Ukrainian. and her mother lived in a city that was one of the first to be attacked by the russian army. if you have never seen footage from Kharkiv in the first days of the war, then believe me, it was a terrible sight, people tried to help each other as best they could
and it is still going on
so i can see that this post was more about that
i don’t think it’s super to draw a conclusion from one repost of a person who has previously shown great support for Palestine, but then turn a blind eye to how another openly says that Taiwan should belong to China and Ukraine to russia
if you have any other information about gilmour, you can share it with me. but even if he is as bad as roger, waters is clearly no better than him
i know you all really like young waters and i see a lot of positive things in him too, but i really can't stand the fact that now people only really look at how he feels about Palestine, even if i see a lot of articles and posts from adults, who say his support for Palestine is also twofold. don't wanna say anything bad about that because i haven’t studied this topic, but i think you can google them yourself, they always just come up
don't get me wrong, i'm not stopping you from sending pictures of him or drawing him, i'm just asking you not to write that he's better than someone else at something when he's not
oh yeah and one last thing...
if you are a supporter of communism, then get the fuck out too, because communism led to the fact that in the 60s in my country they killed almost all the poets who did not write something in support of the state. in history they were persecuted and killed because they wrote in their native language and mentioned Ukrainian culture. communism led to three great famines in our country, when people had so little to eat that they resorted to cannibalism. it's very scary, but it's true. this is what the government has led to when it wants to bring communism to life
communism is not a cool thing. it's cool in words, not on practice, read history
thank you for your attention
