Starting with "The revolution is about to televised" when you're performing for an institution that literally pushes military propaganda, and who also would have signed off AND approved the performance before hand, and people are praising you for "sticking it to the powers" as if you did not spend the past 15 months with complete silence about Congo, Sudan, Palestine who are being decimated by your country, while claiming your life and art is about activism is certainly as USAmerican as it gets.

#kendrick lamar #Americans. you guys are at your core americans regardless of your age. gender. race. sexuality. astounding #Also SZA who responded with 'you are broke and a hater' when Indians in her comments section were trying to educate her about #the mf whose aashram she joined in Indian as if he isn't a renowned piece of shit #Neither of them have spoken a word. shown any solidarity or showed any support to the activist who was detained and arrested for #using his opportunity to talk about global injustices #You know what I take some of it back. working class Americans who have done the work to shift from the US central mindset are better people #Your celebrities and rich are not going to save you #Stop idolising them and giving them credit but not even doing the bare minimum #Breads and circuses. and it fucking works with you lot everytime #The Drake-Kendrick thing was funny until everyone started attributing KL as revolutionary figurehead #It does not fucking work like that. MLK did not die that long ago. do you actually know what figureheads of a movement look like
