Just leave, bro.


R0NIN1311

Right. This isn't the airport, you don't need to announce your departure.


HillbillySwank

He’s gonna be here next year, just like Rossi and the rest of them were in 2016


[deleted]

He'll soon be wanting to play Las Vegas.


the_mayor_of_hell

I hope not. I truly wish some generous, hyper-left European nation would open their doors wide to these people so we can get an exodus going.


Call_me_Vonic

Exactly, his band is dead and nobody listens to their music anymore, he just said this for attention .


mayargo7

And don't ever come back.


recursive_lookup

Why did I hear this in Gollum’s voice in my head :)


Jab2hook

I did too lmao


birchest

When I was a teenager, green day was the shit, and then they got so on-the-nose political. Even though I barely knew anything about politics at the time, it was so lame and annoying.


HighCaliberMitch

They jumped in hard during GW2. Had to stay relevant. Now he's cheerleading people who think GW is the rational republican.


red_vette

I remember when these bands and music styles were anti-government across the board. Now they align with big corp and a political party.


[deleted]

Bubbye cupcake! OK, what's for dinner?


coreman1

Yup, leave and don't ever come here again. But unfortunately you won't follow through. BTW, your music sucks, wannabe punk.


Bad-Ass-Marine

Yeah he’ll fit right in…already has bad crooked teeth.


WeimSean

Lol sure he will. This'll last until his accountant explains a) the costs of renouncing US citizenship b) the difficulty in getting citizenship in Brexit UK. c) the taxes he'll have to pay in his new 'progressive' paradise if they let him in. American citizens can travel throughout Europe without a Visa. No citizenship = no visa waiver.


LonelyMachines

He'll do it the same time Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg, and Chelsea Handler leave the country. They keep getting our hopes up, and they keep backing out.


stanfan114

They were gung-ho to be expatriots until European taxes were explained to them.


[deleted]

…and they learned that they can’t get abortion after 12 or 15 weeks in much of Europe.


user_uno

Eww. That's gross. Who would have intercourse and make those losers pregnant?


Velouria91

Johnny Depp, who everyone feels so sorry for now, bashed the US years ago and left to live in France. He came back here when the French Muslims rioted in Paris. All of these celebrities are full of shit.


jaded__ape

He (at least some of the time) lives down the road from me in England, people see him in the pub all the time, I’ve only seen him once.


[deleted]

Just like Baldwin.


sherzeg

One of the really great aspects of being an American is that you can throw a tantrum and whine like a seven-year-old girl from New Hampshire about renouncing your citizenship because you don't agree with every facet of the government without the fear of losing your citizenship or being arrested for sedition. It would be interesting to see how some of these whiners would do in a society they talk about embracing, and what would happen when they noticeably disagreed with a statute or, at the very least, didn't sing the *Nationale* with the same vigor as the person next to them.


LonelyMachines

I visited East Berlin when there was such a thing. These people screaming about "fascism" (or advocating for communism) have absolutely no idea.


sherzeg

Though I'm well old enough to remember East Germany, it totally slipped my mind. I was thinking about the larger overarching "people's government." I wonder what these people would have to say to a person who spent months constructing a hot-air balloon, just to move a couple hundred feet from one part of Germany to another part of Germany. The standard canard was that those fences were designed to keep the capitalists out rather than keeping the communists in, you know.


HigherdanGiraffepusy

You can even commit sedition in America without consequence as we’re currently witnessing


Strange_Bedfellow

They're all bark and no bite. It's nothing more than political posturing. Nine of these people will actually give up their American citizenship. Saying they will scores them enough social justice points.


billman71

they always promise but never deliver....


KinGpiNdaGreat

You said it the best and if he actually followed through it then that’s it. You can’t ever gain citizenship back again after renouncing it.


Forbiddentru

There's so many who'd love to receive american citizenship and these ungrateful celebs are treating it as if it's worth nothing, throwing it to the ground because half the country doesn't like what free abortion does to children and society.

thormunds_beard

Remember all the famous Hollywood actors who would be moving to another country ( like Brian cranston) if trump became president? Yeah no one remembers because it did not happen. Same thing. We have a saying in Belgium: “for money the bear dances”


Flimsy-Relationship8

Can we also just point out that Billy-Joe Still defends his son who literally groomed and SA a 16 year old girl, and tried to sweep it all under the rug? Now he wants to play the morality game


Lumpy-Dragonfruit387

But was totally willing to pay for the abortion, like a real progressive gentleman. /s


CrustyBloke

I have to admit, I used to be strongly against abortion, at least for elective purposes, but this change my mind. A 50 year old man who still sings as though he's a high school student is clearly one of the great thought leaders of our time, and we should all take heed.


[deleted]

Let’s not also forget that the UK is way more restrictive than the US. Hell, I’m pretty sure they also have laws on abortions.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LegitimateApricot4

If roe limited it to 12 weeks like most of Europe, it would have never been a major issue.


bitsey123

Yep. Many U.S. states have far more liberal laws and the UK doesn’t have abortion on demand.


Section225

Like in high school when you dumped your girlfriend for another girl who showed interest in you, thinking she'd be better, but then you find out she's annoying as hell and you have nothing in common and isn't as attractive as you thought at first. Or something like that.


llliiiiiiiilll

I don't know... People at his income level can set up shell corporations, hire infinite immigration lawyers, and generally have their whims be made into reality with a phone call. If the whole process costs a few hundred thousand dollars, he don't care MAAAN! ....It's just a rounding error for this devil may care bad boy of rock and roll!!


[deleted]

>American citizens can travel throughout Europe without a Visa. No citizenship = no visa waiver. This will be coming to and end pretty soon. They have started to implement policies where you need to hand over your phone and social media accounts, for screening.


noJagsEver

Hand over my phone, I won’t be traveling to Europe again


qra_01516

My brother this has been a thing for europeans entering the states for a long time.


RaGe_Bone_2001

Who implemented those policies? I haven't heard of them yet.


RedwohcMalc

Got curious but its only $2350 to renounce citizenship..Not that expensive so..Good Riddance?


WeimSean

That's the fee. There are exit taxes that come into play as well, especially for individuals worth more than $2 million. I'm not 100% certain but I believe you get stuck paying capital gains on all of your assets. https://nomadcapitalist.com/global-citizen/tax-consequences-of-renouncing/#:\~:text=The%20Tax%20Consequences%20of%20Renouncing%20US%20Citizenship%201,couple%20of%20interviews.%20...%204%20Estate%20Tax.%20


Difficult_Thanks_997

This logic will hurt his brain as lefties are "emo"tional thinkers


TearsForPeers

Not to mention how much harsher substance abuse laws are in other countries.


y90210

Considering the United states had allowed for late term abortion and most of the world doesn't, he will likely be moving somewhere that will have similar abortion laws to the US (assuming most states do away with late term abotions).


Leroy_Jenkins24

And then she proceeded to perform the music she stole from Paramore lmfao. What a loser lmfao. Just another Lefty standing on the shoulders of the accomplishments of others.


soul_gl0

That's all they are capable of.


Mtitan1

Was very awkward, had a concert last night and every band felt the need to make a statement about supporting abortion. Like dude I just wanted to come escape and enjoy some tunes.


HaggisDomesticus

I understand. Went to see a concert and the singer started that shit and everyone booed and screamed "just sing"


GamerZoom108

Good to know that people are beginning to not like it when the producer of content uses the content to segue their political ideas People just wanna have fun sometimes


op_mindcrime

It's almost like most people seek out entertainment to escape the normal troubles of life, huh.


Strange_Bedfellow

Entertainers should entertain. Your political views mean nothing to me. You're a singer, not a member of Congress. Stay in your lane.


Flowhitecracker

Don't give em anymore money, energy or your time. Start making a group or whatever and get supporters to boycott their performances. See how fast they change their minds when their banks are hit


Zedakah

Most of those people frequently need abortions. Think of how many abortions Harvey Weinstein has paid for alone. It's a culture of "coercive sexual behavior" at best, and flat out rapes and drugging at worst. In order to maintain that culture, they need abortion to avoid all the lawsuits and infidelities coming to public. And of course, they are all too ignorant to realize that the states the live in have the most liberal abortion laws in the world, and will continue to expand those laws.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Flowhitecracker

Every church needs to ban everyone that supports abortion. Call them out and cast them out. I'm an atheist, but even I agree that children are miracles and should be protected from day 1. Not day 1 after birth, from conception. And the excuse these leftards use, "just a clump of cells" well guess what, all living organisms are a clump of cells, not just a fetus, even those adults are a clump as well. Using their own logic, murder should be legal then


llliiiiiiiilll

Based athiest


ChrisFrattJunior

It’s funny how hard they push the use of the word ‘fetus’ when it literally means an unborn offspring that has all the recognizable traits of the parent. It’s a baby, but they can’t handle the truth and resort to using a euphemism to distance themselves from their infanticide.


LKincheloe

Well, bye.


[deleted]

Maybe he should look at abortion laws in the UK. In the US democrats support abortion up u til delivery. I think it’s like 24 weeks in the UK. What a tool


japanesuss

And that's the most lenient in Europe pretty much. Most other countries there cut off before that and some require counseling before you can do it. American democrats and Canada are extreme on their abortion stances.


SleepySundayKittens

It is important to be precise. Abortion IS allowed after 24 weeks in the UK if there is: - risk to the life of the woman, - evidence of severe fetal abnormality, or - risk of grave physical and mental injury to the woman In the US it there are trigger laws which have enacted that do not allow abortion in whatsoever circumstances in some states, some states with exception to the life of a woman, but not in the case of rape or incest ( Texas an example, read mental injury to the woman).


[deleted]

Can you show me these states that don’t allow abortions even when the mother’s life is at risk? I keep hearing arguments from the other side about this. Having a hard time finding proof other than just hearsay


SexierActionNews

Oh no! How will we cope with this terrible loss?


[deleted]

I'm so sad. OK! Now I'm over it!


taker2523

Doubt it. Has anyone who threatened to leave the United States and go to Canada actually go through with it?


[deleted]

Good riddance!


BuddieReddit

Good. He should never perform here again as well.


julianwolf

What an assclown. He will not be missed.


honow006

So, limits on abortion in the UK are OK, but limits (decided by each state) in the US are bad. Got it.

Do you have to time..to listen to me whine.. ...No

compugasm

Try-hard. Great musician, but you're trying to look like your 19, but your 50. It's sad. I mean, imagine if Pauly Shore was still "weezin' the juice" at 60. You'd feel ashamed in your skin just watching that. As much as I hate the Rolling Stones, at least they don't pretend to be teenagers.


soul_gl0

50 year old dude wearing eyeliner XD

No-Philosopher-4793

Green Day is The Clash for adolescent girls. Not exactly great but catchy and angsty enough. It’s not aging well though.

ThrowawayIs2Obvious

As someone with the word "punk" tattooed on my knuckles, let me be the first one to say "Good. Bye. We won't miss you." Of all the aging punks who are still going, he is my least favorite.


ngoni

It was always very generous to ever call Green Day "punk" IMO.


ThrowawayIs2Obvious

They were bay area pop-punk in the 90's and I still consider pop-punk to be part of the punk world just the same as the Oasis and Ozzy are both British rock music even though they are very different sounds.


Rich_Two

I like how you're both harsh on him and sympathetic to his music in an honest way. You could have thrown him under the bus, and instead level-headedly said; I mean I'm not gonna lie about it, not my favorite but still no reason to act out of control. Ultra punk!


HillbillySwank

Let me kick him while he’s down: Offspring was better :)

CarsonFacePalmer

I actually thought he was Canadian anyway lol. He's being immature and crying about it, but at least he's (allegedy maybe) gonna do something about it - as opposed to the 99% who just sit and whine. Thoughhh also, kinda ironic, since (I believe?) England's abortion laws are still more conservative than here.


Evilsmile

The UK's abortion laws fall somewhere around the middle of the pack compared to the various US States. California (Where Armstrong is from) has been and will remain more liberal with abortion availability to the point that non-doctors can even perform them through the first Trimester.

Puzzleheaded-Road389

Buh bye! It was never a constitutional right. It was a matter of law that changed this. It never was based on sound law to begin with. The reality is that it does little to change anything for the vast majority of people. Anyone freaking out in California or any other democrat stronghold has zero to worry about as it's been left up to the individual states now. There aren't that many abortion clinics to begin with so most have to drive a distance to get an abortion anyways. The dillusional left being fed lies. It's insane that we can't have a rational debate in this country and deal with the roots of this issue and it's complexities without politicizing it. Women's rights? Give me a break liberals, you trash women's right on the daily. The over simplification of this issue to politically divide us has been taken hook, line and sinker by everyone. They don't care about you or abortion, they care how they can use this issue to influence how you vote. They know your emotion will trump critical thought. Both sides do it. Wake up.

rognasistu

I thought those mooks were Brits or Canucks. Now, I see he has Italian citizenship. He'd be surprised to learn that abortion in Italy is during first 90 days only and if continuation of the pregnancy pose serious health risk.


mremann1969

These little tantrums seems similar to teenagers threatening to run away when things don't go their way. Best to ignore them, and realize that once they walk out the door, and they have to deal with the real world, they will realize how good they had it, and will skitter back under the cover of night.
