Apparently he has self-identified as being on the autism spectrum. From what I have gathered of his historical personality along with some of his, uh, dance moves when he is clearly just fucking loving the sounds of what he has brought together, I can see how that actually would explain quite a bit. Doesn’t necessarily excuse the behaviors of his past, but definitely adds perspective.

I personally only knew his music until the other day. While I don’t doubt that sort of history in his youth, at this particular show he came across as very warm and humble. His band is from all over the world and has every adult generation represented. He specifically thanked the Americans for making his life of global travel and playing music for stupid amounts of money a waking dream rather than just a dream.
The guy I saw on stage - and I’m not so naive as to ignore that aspect of it, but still - seemed to be genuinely grateful for what he’s got and implored everyone to take nothing for granted.
And also to sing along with the keyboard bits and to vote.

I doubt his roadies will have to look hard for new work if they want it. He’s not exactly a small name to have worked for. Yeah its unfortunate but also maybe don’t align with a jackass and expect everything to go well for you.
Venues remain open no matter if fat ginger bitch plays them or not, they host shows and events all the same. Minus one flaccid cockstain isn’t going to be anything more or less than an unexpected night off for venue workers. Maybe they love it, maybe they could have used the hours, life goes on all the same. He isn’t nearly as big an economic force as, I dunno, Jeff Bezos.
Writers strikes are far more difficult for regular people than canceling one ugly pussy bitch.

Dafuq you smokin’ and who sold it so I know who to avoid.

Ed Sheeran’s fat ass ain’t goin’ hungry because he missed a tour. And if he does starve to death, then good riddance to that level of utterly stupid.
Humanity - or lack thereof in this case - is quite black and white.

All I know is he said this was his first stop, first show here in Orlando. Maybe he meant this leg of the tour?
Either way, fantastic show.

Just saw Gorillaz on their first show of The Mountain tour.
Damon Albarn held up a Palestinian flag, draped it over his shoulder, then declared, “It’s time to pick a side.”
It’s just that simple to not be a bitch.

While a reasonable person hears and understands you, these same reasonable people said Trump was just a joke back in 2015.
I don’t dispute your reasoning in any reap way, but let’s also not forget which timeline we actually currently occupy…

I just wish I knew why I keep hearing myself after I speak. So strange.

Yes, definitely that.

Obscurity as in there are how many flavors each with their own repos and dependencies? And which one are you using? So which vulnerabilities work on you? And are you even aware of them?
Hiding among the weeds obscures you from view.
And while AUR isn’t Linux code and I definitely understand that, it is very much what you’re talking about; if anybody bothered to RTFM, they’d have had as many AUR issues as I did when the shit hit the fan - precisely none. And I’m only on Arch because Cachy is basically iOS for Arch if you can read and utilize copy/paste functions, a dazzlingly high bar for entry that somehow even I am capable of.
Then again, I also know enough to have a clue as to how much I really don’t know. Most people just assume magic box makes pretty pictures happen and anybody who knows how to change operating systems are literal wizards.
And so I would argue that being on Linux and the variety of flavors is, again, a form of obscurity in and of itself. Yeah, its all open source. Did you plot an attack for that distro? That file structure? How about a missing dependency? It simply isn’t worth it to plot Linux malware at this market share just like 20 years ago it wasn’t worth it to put malware on Macs; their use is still too obscure. Once critical mass is achieved, watch Ubuntu and Mint malware variants increase by an order of magnitude. Until then, the whales are all on Windows and Mac.

Linux is safer than Windows
Yes and no. Security through obscurity doesn’t innately mean its more secure. The recent AUR debacle proved that all it takes is a competent and malicious actor with the time and dedication to make something to target Linux. And why has nobody done it? Because the Linux market share is still absolutely pathetic compared to Windows, and is even abysmal when compared to MacOS. The returns on hacking a single Linux distro simply aren’t worth the investment.
I would also argue it is far easier to unintentionally brick your system with Linux, and if people don’t know what they’re doing (see: most end users) they can and will very easily leave themselves more exposed in the long run than by using the spyware that is Windows/MacOS/iOS/Android.
This pretty effectively explains all your other bullet points with minimal extrapolation; everything else you listed requires significant know-how for the systems to function properly. These are the super-deep superusers. Some of them probably tossed a few bones to Microsoft and their end-users, but as others have pointed out individuals and companies have vastly different motivations.
Between those main ideas… Yeah…
