Btw, Puerto Ricans are US citizens. But don't let that stop them.
Wonder what he thought when it was Kendrick last year?
Kendrick Lamar was sick though.

"But he's not one of the right citizens."
- that guy's reply, probably
Or, "He's not a real citizen though", and he'd be somewhat right. Puerto Ricans who move to a US state have the same rights as other US citizens. But, Puerto Ricans who live in Puerto Rico definitely don't.
I always find it remarkable how trivial topics can be so successful on every social media platform—yes, even here.
This is basically proof that fascists have already won, because instead of dealing with the important issues—in the US, for example, the unbelievable corruption of the regime, the obvious establishment of a secret police force in the form of ICE, the completely illegal deployment of troops to oppress the population, which is actually very successful (+ many more outrageously important things)—people are focusing their attention on who will perform at the goddamn Super Bowl halftime show—and they even think they're outsmarting the fascists when they point out for the millionth time that their bullshit is just that—utter bullshit.
It's just sad that nothing has changed since Goebbels. The logic is still the same and people continue to fall for it: distraction from what's going on until it's too late—and in the US, it probably already is.
I would be more hopeful if at least the events in the States could serve as a deterrent, but that is obviously absolutely not the case. It's the same all over the world: stupid trivialities distract from the real problems— just as the fascists want.
The internet hasn't made things better, it's only made them worse.
I think it's way past time to admit what the problem is, namely ordinary people who simply cannot fulfill their duty as responsible citizens because they act completely irresponsibly—if this weren't the case, the problem wouldn't exist at all—especially in the US: an obvious criminal with known ties to organizes crime in the office of president, a proven rapist, a highly probable pedophile? WTF!
This is only possible because people let it happen. It's simple as that.
If not the citizens, then who can act as a check on the government? I admit we are in a bad situation because many people are not acting in their best interest to the point of complicity. Any other smaller group than everyone would be easier to control. I think there are multiple mechanisms enabling the current situation.
and they even think they're outsmarting the fascists when they point out for the millionth time that their bullshit is just that—utter bullshit.
It's just sad that nothing has changed since Goebbels
Long before that.
That there is even frippery like the Super bowl shows there's no real concern for the serious,

Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses
Juvenal originally used it to decry the "selfishness" of common people and their neglect of wider concerns

I wonder if the FCC will come down harder on this than the Janet Jackson nipple slip
"Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny appearing in the Superbowl"
Honestly, "Puerto Rican" is the most appealing part of that sentence for me XD

He strikes me as the kind of guy who once shat himself while doing a keg stand.
