Yeah I noticed a lot of the comments didn't understand the metaphor.
He's trying to appease both sides so that he can profit from both of them - he's not a literal guardian of the peace. 😂

I wonder if that’s what Dolly Parton was. She famously said that she learned quick not to talk public about her opinions

Is a peacekeeper similar to a people pleaser?

I think people hear the word peace in peacekeeper and think that means their actions amount to something good, but it just means they want everything to be calm at whatever cost.

I’m a family peacekeeper, learning to side with the punk rock scapegoat.

Is it possible to be both the scapegoat & the peacekeeper at the same time? Because I think that’s me.

As a person who was once the peacekeeper, I can attest to it backfiring on me. Most of my family members ended up hating me 🤷🏼♀️

I think he was thinking about more than what happened. A ton of fans spent money to travel, lodge etc. You aren’t wrong though.

I was at the show and it's not lost on me that Ed's first song he played when he came on stage was "You Need Me, I Don't Need You." If only he had said so to Kraft...

Yes but it could also be basic PR.

Yeah how do you effectively deal with a peacekeeper? My sister is one. I lover her but sometimes resent her refusal to stand up for ppl being bullied by our father.

I’ve noticed it is getting harder and harder for any sort of public person to “play Switzerland”
The way I understand it, being the peacekeeper doesn’t mean he’s innocent or a victim. On the contrary. He’s just selfishly protecting his self-image at all costs over using his notoriety and taking a stand. He’s cowardly and complicit. I think people may not understand the nuance.

Na. He’s the sneaky troublemaker who pretends what he needs so that he can watch his buddies go down. A peacekeeper actually wants to keep peace. They are coming from a place of love and are not afraid to fight for peace when needed. Signed Queen Peacekeeper.

Also makes you think if Ed is placed as big as he is becAUSE he yields to this kind of authority… makes you realize how the music industry works and how the strings are pulled

This is a good analogy/description. I say that as a peacekeeper myself. Working on it, it’s hard
