So guys I wann bring something up real quick and this not just an army thing or a moa thing , this shit right here is serious. I live in america, I know the gimmicks, this is election time and we are threading on sensitive ground and we have to be careful.+
Recently there has been a lot of interest in kpop and bts as a result of the blm movement and i couldnt be more proud of our involvement in thwarting the plans of some disgusting human beings who only think about themselves and have no respect for basic human right or human life+
Donating, hashtagging, doing everything in our power because we don't want the bad guys to win. We are not all from America, and we are a very global group of people and while this works to our advantage, we must think about how twisted people will likely perceive our +
Involvement in the matter. This is serious, I am not saying we should just fold and give up the fight but I wanna present you with some truths and possibilities that need to be known and understood by us all if we really gonna be doing this. Kpop is not political at core+
But recently a lot of political people, journalists and figures have been reporting about our involvement in a very political and twisted fight for power and although I am proud that we are being recognized for our social consciousness and humanitarian awareness and smarts+
I am also weary of what that might imply for our bands, groups, and our fandoms. Trump is still in power and he is current running for a second term so there is a possibility that he might win. I know because when he won the elections the first time I was flabbergasted +
I didnt understand how it happened because I thought surely america wouldn't elect this misogynist, racist and already disgusting piece of shit as president, but as we've seen within the past few years and especially the past few weeks, america stopped being the land of the free+
People are getting killed, arrested, beat up for exercising their basic human rights and the news is turning these citizens into terrorists, things are being twisted in a way that makes it seem like we are being terrorists, scum for speaking up for what is right+
And as much as we would like to believe that people are not dumb enough to fall for the gimmicks, because its the age of information, lets just remember that there are millions of racist weirdos out there who still follow fox news and all the other garbage channels+
And believe every word thats being said. People who truly think they have the right to use guns to defend their racist behaviors and defend trumps fucked up politics. Think about that for a second. Our fandoms and and our groups are being presented to the general public+
As a force seeking to dismantle and stop that shit from being the norm and stop trump from making an impact during these elections. And they didnt only stop at the speculative stage they went as far as directly asking a group who absolutely has nothing to do with their shit+
About their thoughts on the matter, on national television for the whole fucking world of weirdos who follow them to see it. Right on the cusp of them having a concert. But instead of doing damage control we've been spreading that shit on the internet. Thats a big ass red flag+
One because more people are gonna see it and talk about, and two because they are already spinning the narrative that we are terrorists. Look at the comment section under this video.


Yes it's small and so far it has only been one idiot acting up +
And this video is full of misinformation and im cackling at the fact thatbhe said the group kpop but all jokes aside. If one idiot can think it, no matter how trolly he/she seems, there are a lot of idiots who will be thinking the same and I dont trust idiots in america+
Why? because some of them tend to have guns. And we are being labeled as part of the antifa (even though we're not really about that life), they had a whole picture of bts plastered on an article. Thats concerning. And although we've been getting praised by many+
Anti trump political figures. And the locals are taking notice of us.



We have to also understand that this is slowly dragging is us into a conflict that has way more complex and political depths than the human rights fight that is the blm movement+
And this is where we need to really pay attention and know what we do and don't do. Bts is being given shout out on bbc news by a somewhat political figure who does not even follow them on the internet, (i found out that truth later and i shuddered). That's a red flag+
With politics the big thing is to look at the end goal. People are waking up to the power of fandom and they will most certainly try to use for their own advancement if they can tap into. This is a truth that anyone who knows politics will tell you. They're not above it+
And then we have idiots like this who have a platform and are spreading this kind of narrative to their followers 👇
And bitches like her, who also have a platform
These people are sharks and when they smell blood in the water they will gather. Its a fact. And if they all start jumping on this narrative, we have to know what to do to defuse this mess because although it looks like all fun and games on the surface and we are joking+
About it. It is anything but this is all political machinations and we can't keep ourselves be used like that when the police is out there doxxing people and arresting them for taking a stance and when we all know about trumps machiavelistic thinking when it comes to foreign +
Policies. This is no longer a joke when you consider that this can be used to cause tension between the u.s and South korea, especially since we know how trump feels about the leaders of North Korea and this is even less of a joke when you consider that his fucked up +
Followers and fellow racists recently decided they were gonna descend on a town in Alabama with guns because of the protests. These people believe every bullshit they are being fed by the media and i wouldnt put it past them to attack a random person on the streets +
For wearing a kpop bands shirt. Because of the narrative they're being fed by the media. Again these are things that we need to think about because this is america. I wouldnt put it past these dummies to try and mess up upcoming kpop concerts again why? Because this is america+
I dont mean to scare you but these a legit things to consider and think about as we thread into these new territories because again this is america and the whole world is watching and they have a hand in every part of that world. So while we rejoice at being recognized +
And appreciated for something we've always done. We have to think about the possible repercussions and we have to figure out what we do with to avoid them or to prepare ourselves because this country and the world is going through it right now and these are very strange times.
These are times when we need to be smarter and really do our research before we jump on the liking and retweeting bandwagon because when shit goes viral, it dont go away easily. I admit I've recently been guilty of this but yea we all need to regroup and take a step back+
And be strategic in the way we go forward when supporting the blm movement. We need to be more alert and more united and organized than ever. Thats the truth of it. THE END
