Roger Waters put a damper on my enjoyment of Pink Floyd.
Pink Floyd would have been completely different without him though
He is anti hunting, anti poverty, anti malaria, anti Israel, pro veteran, anti fascist, anti chevron, anti brexit and pro Assange.
Which part dampens your enjoyment?
The pro Russia part does.
Wikipedia didn't cover Russia in detail so I did some reading.

He calls Putin a gangster.
I think his opinions are naive. He identifies Western Propaganda but ignores the possibility that Putin is lying.
He seems to be consistently anti war though so I'm not going to burn my Pink Floyd collection ... yet
He's one of those guys who hates America so much that he starts to think anyone who goes up against them must be the good guy (I'm sure nobody on Lemmy could possibly imagine such a situation!), missing the point that lots of people/countries/organisations can all be bad.
He's a complete edgelord and always has been, but that has always been a recipe for great art!
I fucking LOVE malaria and I ain't letting him take that from me!
Someone should chuck Assange in a woodchipper and be done with it.
Why? He's just a journalist.
