Billie Eilish had choice words for ICE during her acceptance speech for song of the year.

Billie Eilish joined Bad Bunny in speaking out against ICE during her acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards, slamming the organization after winning song of the year for “Wildflower.”

The singer was bleeped as she said “fuck ICE,” giving strong commentary during the speech. “Thank you so much. I can’t believe this. Everyone else in this category is so amazing. I love you so much,” she said, standing next to her brother Finneas. “I feel so honored every time I get to be in this room. As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land. And, yeah, it’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting, and our voices really do matter, and the people matter, and fuck ICE. That’s all I’m going to say. Sorry. Thank you so much.”

    I’m sure there are folks who consider themselves anarchists but haven’t actually considered the philosophy in a functioning form once state and property is abolished. I’m not trying to be rude, I just mostly see anarchism talked about in the context of attempting to exist within this society. I don’t think it would be so simple, for anarchism to exist even though one generation there would have to be constant adjustments and decisions and established norms and practices that allow society to move forward. I don’t mean to say that it isn’t worth doing, I think it could eventually be a better world but it would be generations from now and even then there will still be the need to protect and keep society healthy, like an ecosystem there needs to be some oversight in place for the habitat and members of it to all exist in some equilibrium, not everyone is going to agree on things all the time.

      Yeah I fully agree with this, I just got heated because the other guy seemed to imply that anarchism was inherently doomed because humanity is naturally violent or whatever, it’s a horribly nihilistic worldview.
