Yes. You listen to music without knowing anything about who wrote it and you feel something. That feeling has nothing to do with the composer or performer. Now if you find out the composer/performer is a “bad” person, I would recommend not giving them any money that could contribute to them spreading their “bad stuff”. I’d still enjoy the music because your enjoyment isn’t furthering their bad agenda.

The people that want a theocracy want it based on their religion and their interpretation of that religion. This way they can present what they want as what god wants and that gives them complete control over you since you have to obey god.
After installing Firefox 123.0 I ran a Mullvad Connection check https://mullvad.net/en/check and found I had a DNS leak. Turns out that Firefox had changed the settings under “DNS over HTTPS” so that my Mullvad DNS wasn’t being used any more. After changing this setting to “off” in Firefox, the Mullvad check passed.
Any time they talk about not looking back but looking forward ““We’ve got to leave the negativity and the baggage behind”, it means -I’ll forgive them for what they did in hopes the people that come after me will forgive me in the same way.
