Superbowl sadness
-
Anyone else unnerved by the whole 'continuing as normal' vibe and also guy on stage chanting "they're not like us" to crowd that effectively voted in a fascist and rapist who also is sitting in the crowd.
(I know who Kendrick Lamar is and am a fan of hip hop)
"The revolution will be televised" what the actual fuck bro

I was playing d&d all day. Did not know anything was happening.
-
Lady Gaga, NOLA culture, 2 black quarterbacks (The Trump loving one got spanked by predominantly Black Philly) and did you see Kendrick’s show and how pissed people got about it?
I thought it was pretty good as far as the NFL goes.
-
Go back and watch This is America. Sounds trite but just do it.
-
Oh, I was like "why are you telling me this?" It's because you still think boycotting does something right? Right.
-
Yeah I felt the same way. The country is falling apart and we are just supposed to continue celebrating big businesses, rich athletes, and music stars? I couldn't really get into it.
-
I feel like this all flew over my head. I could tell something was flying under the radar but not quite what. The splitting of the flag, like what's the meaning there? If he's talking about the revolution, is he talking about against or for trump? To me it sounded the opposite, wouldn't a revolution be against what is at present, which is trump?
-
Right!? Trump very much ran on a platform of breaking down government institutions so the messaging is going to have to get a little more clear.
Also people are already dying but as many of us know it's not going to be readily accessible information. Neither is the god damn revolution. Words of wisdom he kind of pissed on there.
As a victim of actual child predators I'm over it being used as a political device too, especially when it's used to hurt and villanize my trans brothers and sisters
The whole thing was deeply unnerving
-
It symbolized a divided America, which is only exacerbated by Trump.
-
Or they know that force-feeding themselves needless media that will just make them miserable is not worth it. People that don't do things they won't like aren't "boycotting". They're just not doing it.
-
Not everything is politics. Enjoy some football!
-
Lucky, we had to postpone a session 0 due to people having plans for the super bowl. Super boring game, and the whole event felt off. I fell asleep before it ended, but spent the whole time thinking about the fun we could have had.
Also that other commenter making assumptions about you and boycotting seemed just as odd. It reminds me more people came from reddit recently.
-
Did you miss when he said right after "You picked the right time but the wrong guy"? I really appreciated that bit.

Nothing as American as the exploitation of Black bodies..

"why would you comment on social media?"
What the fuck is your problem dude
-
Psh. I boycotted football before it was cool!
...

This isn't a political comment, football is just fucking boring.

I agree, people need to be able to focus on something else for a few hours on a Sunday.
-
I’m predicting a colosseum fight or something for that america’s anniversary celebration executive order. Trump loves the UFC/WWE
-
See, but they're no longer giving bread and circuses. They're charging out the ass for all of it.
