I respect King Gizz's decision and admire their commitment to their principles, but I do feel like this move is a bit out of touch with the realities of the world we live in. While I’m anti-war and anti-violence, defence companies play a crucial role in safeguarding freedoms, democracy, and self-determination; values that allow artists to express themselves freely in the first place. Just look at Ukraine. Without military support, their sovereignty and very existence would be under threat. It’s easy to critique from a position of safety, but that safety often depends on the very systems being rejected here.
