PJW has 1.1 million 'followers' on Twitter. Assuming only 1% of them saw this tweet (most 'followers' of mass accounts don't interact, they just...follow..) then this isn't really a noteworthy event as 1k 'likes' is just a manifestation of Herd Culture irrelevance.
Given PJW routinely mocks #Vegan issues with the tiresome #SoyBoy attempt as a diss, why would this 'endorsement' be of any meaning for value to anyone connected with the Morrissey brand? Never mind with the singer himself who doesn't use Twitter, reviles and despises it and doesn't interact with it even if some wags invent silly accounts to mimic and mock him, sometimes with humourous results.
Twitter is only of importance to people on Twitter, it has no relevance or connection to 'reality' as the results of the UK General Election and the EU Referendum showed conclusively, not to mention the rise of Donald Trump. Twitter exists for the branding efforts of the Blue Tick Elite who hardly ever interact with the hoi-polloi and why should they unless they have metrics proving being on Twitter increases real-world revenues which I doubt happens very often.
I remember somewhere Morrissey made quite an amusing quip about being famous on the internet but still being stuck at the bus-stop every morning..or maybe that was Neil Tennant. Doesn't matter.
I don't think PJW is a 'racist' just as I don't think Morrissey is a 'racist' but they are both incorrigible click-bait trolls who never hesitate to weaponise important, controversial and incendiary debates for web traffic, whether to YouTube for revenue in the case of PJW or to bums on seats at gigs in the case of Morrissey.
The cliche of a nominal presence on Twitter but not following anyone or replying is a common trope of elitist twits who think they still have a place of privilege reserved in the mad asylum of modern culture. Twitter is the absolute bedlam bedrock of the disintegration of Western Civilisation: a meaningless tower of babble that sees unknown peeps rise from obscurity to global focus and attention for a few minutes, hours and days then promptly casts them back into whatever oblivion of anonymity they previously held whether by choice or general indifferenence to their ramblings. You can have good fun on Twitter annoying eejits and having a good aul fire-fight now and then but it's of completely zero importance other than to the truly delusional.
I suppose Morrissey could have some fun by appearing on Gab but that would only inflame the self-righteous who endlessly walk into the honeytrap he masterfully sets now and then when he ventures out of his troll lair, bored of the banal distractions of being a multi-millionaire with nothing but hot air between his temples...most of the time...a very good new album that is now utterly corpsed until and unless the current cultural lockdown of the Guardian and the New York Times is smashed to smithereens which I've every hope will happen. We live in a free society..ish...and everyone is entitled to whatever views they wish to hold no matter how obnoxious others find them...however, if you hold views which Herd Culture revile and you refuse to resile from then you must expect blowback in terms of 'clueless consumers' boycotting your commercial 'art' experiences in the mediums of recorded music and live performance. Of course a genuine 'artist' wouldn't give two fcUKs about Herd Culture and/or 'clueless consumers' and would be glad to have rid of them pausing only to ponder what they had done wrong in the first place to attract them.
You cannot list 'Grace' by Jeff Buckley as a lodestar recording (which it most certainly is) then spend decades afterwards whining about lack of sales and radio play. I'm sure when Jeff was being swept away in the backwash of that tugboat in that Mississippi tributary as he sang 'Whole Lot Of Love', he wasn't fretting about the fact he only left that album and the posthumous 'Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk' or that he hadn't fulfilled his commercial potential and become a bona-fide global superstar..which almost certainly would have happened...he was probably just very shocked, scared and sad as he sank beneath the waves. I doubt very much that the next music star to croak from coronavirus will be begging the docs not to intubate them until they see how many 'likes' their last Twitter msg gets...music is both powerful and pathetic in these times...Twitter is always pathetic but it's just another level of displacement activity by the Hive Mind as it loses its shit over this Virus. Twitter, like the Mainstream Media was remarkably quiet as the virus moved from Wuhan to Tehran to Milan to Birmingham...they were still circle-jerking over Brexit and other such forgotten 'controversies'.
I assume these shells from the bunker-trench of 'Morrissey Central' are some kind of Kubler-Ross grieving for the commercial death of 'IANADOAC'? That's fine if it keeps Morrissey out of B&Q or stops him trying to pick fights with police officers by challenging traffic signs wherever he is in situ for this lockdown. I've no idea why PJW randomly posts bits of stuff about Morrissey except perhaps that he was a 'fan' of The Smiths at some stage. PJW's videos on YouTube are very funny sometimes, he can certainly think and lay out complex ideas and follow them through. I don't agree with a lot of his views but I don't see any harm in him sharing them with willing viewers, it's not like he turns up outside my house with a detector van demanding an infotainment poll tax like the BBC do, is it? Everybody just relax. When you're tired of wanking, have a tug on Twitter. Same thing really. Nobody in their right mind treats Twitter as anything other than a portal into the collective insanity of the privileged elements of Industrial Civilisation. I'm sure it forms an important, informal therapeutic replacement for a lot of disturbed and dangerous people who might otherwise go and start shooting each other at fast food emporiums whilst wheeling their lastest trolly of loo rolls in the hand not firing the Uzi. Patriotic? Wholesome? Morrissey just looks like someone out of a Scally Lad porno in that pic but that's ok, that was a fun day winding up meathead skins in Finsbury...I guess trolling is its own reward for those who get off on that kind of thing...now...another cup of tea....
