My guess is that the argument is that participating in society does not equal endorsement of the system we live in. This is how musicians make money. By playing music to who pays for it.
That said, I myself am of two minds about them taking the money.
It would be easy for the Foo Fighters to not take that gig. They're doing fine either way.
It's also possible for musicians to take a stand for change. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_City_(song)
It absolutely does equal endorsement.
I’ll make my life harder to avoid companies and people I don’t support.
Have a fucking backbone and stand up for what you believe in. Why should we contribute to the things we abhor?
Do you think you it’s justified perform for these people if they getting paid?
