Finally seeing the 1982 movie of Pink Floyd's The Wall reminded me of the recent callouts of Roger Waters for anti-semitism, made by such "credible" institutions as the German police force, Israel's Foreign ministry and the US Separtment of State.

That was enough to make me dismiss the claims out of hand. Admittedly there were some descriptions of his anti-zionist concert imagery that seemed a bit tasteless, and not the first time he has done that, some of his anti-trump images at previous tours were fairly fatphobic and homophobic. I don't think Roger Waters is an unproblematic fave.

But what really made me laugh was that a major part of the accusation was that "At his concerts, Roger Waters dresses in what is basically an SS uniform and shouts about shooting and gassing various minorities, that means he is probably a neo-nazi."

This is literally tumblr callout post material in its blatant disregard of the distinction between fact and fiction. Like sure, Roger Waters has played a fascist on stage many times, here is a picture of it from all the way back from 1980, but taking that as a sincere expression of fascist beliefs is nonsensical.

And it's made by multiple government departments. Of course they are probably not being honestly this stupid, it's a dishonest argument meant to persuade the truly ignorant.

Like when I imagine the person who would honestly believe this type of argument, i would feel the need to explain some very basic concepts to them, like I would to a five-year old. Like how musicians sometimes sing songs that aren't about their personal experiences and opinions, sometimes they sing songs that are stories about fictional characters, people who aren't real, sometimes these fictional people are bad people, like fascists, and sometimes musicians perform songs in a way where they act like the character, but it's all pretend.
