That bish can deepthroat my D virtually
Okay this part I did not know.
But here's my but; I dont think that paints them all as one either. Just like in America, if you look in from outside you think most agree with all the things going on (shout out rando EU posters on the internet that think they know the USA ground floor), but when youre actually here it is not like that at all. And everyday is a tug of war between many different factors from the social and civilian side to the government and political side.
However, I do think you dont have to agree nor even like Beyonce. My point originally was just I didnt understand the stan-like distinction between Weeknd and Beyonce which is what called myy Weeknd Dubai example, & also my general (of course there are extremes) take and belief that citizens are separate from government in this kind of context and day to day speaking - and imo USA is one of the biggest example of that so my belief and even perhaps bias comes from that perspective. I think a lot of people would have reason to disconnect from USA citizens if they see it all as "one unit" without knowing the political intricacies (and corruption that happens anyways against both politics and citizens) and even social everyday nuances.
I respect this position though even if I don't fully agree myself & it actual gave clarity and more meaning than the what I thought stan war disguised as politics (which is a nasty thing to do like its a game), or the biases of the people outside control based off op and some other posts itt
The difference here is that there have been over 40 bloodlines wiped out in Palestine by the Israeli government that has majority support from its citizens to wipe these folks out in under two months. Intellectualizing genocide isn't useful in stopping the genocide, which is the number one priority right now. Obviously I'm not expecting Bey Guevara to pop out and bring her superbowl dancers to the frontlines and liberate Palestine but this woman has more money than god and full control over her musical career. She doesn't need to make money off of the Israeli market right now and her complicity in supporting the Israeli economy in the middle of the worst genocide the Palestinians have faced in history is tonedeaf and ludicrous.
It's a war going on right now and s*** has to be dealt with at the systemic level and not the individual level. A few innocent people will get "caught in the crossfire" but when one form of crossfire is missing out on a pop star's tour movie and the other crossfire is having babies annihilated by bombing hospitals, it's pretty clear what the solution is. Boycott, Divest, and Sanction Israel.

the entire purpose of “israel” is to give the US & NATO presence in the middle east
each and every “israeli” living there personally killed/forcefully displaced Palestinians from their own homes so they could steal them (and if not them, their parents or grandparents)
every “israeli” “citizen” is required to serve in their military
and none of them are even secretive about any of this, they’re all proud to say this if asked
every “israeli” is completely for the genocide of Palestinians by the nature of identifying as an “israeli”
the “israel” of today is not the Israel of the Bible, it only uses the name for PR purposes to get evangelicals on their side
Taylor Swift washed Beyonce anyways leave that irrelevant in the dust already
Stfu

25k likes alright we get it
cant have s*** with these people
People are being murdered daily and yall are talking about a movie screening? Like that’s the issue? This s*** is not about celebrities this is real life.
Y’all social media activists are so annoying.
Couple years ago y’all were political scientists, after that you became infectious disease experts, then you graduated into experts on international relations between Slavic countries, now you’re the foremost voices on human rights violations related to a complicated and ancient conflict between people that have nothing to do with you in a part of the world that you’ve never been to.
Getting mad at Beyonce for not blocking her movie in Israel is the most armchair activist bullshit I’ve ever heard. Stop letting the media get you so emotional every month. The human brain was not designed to be endlessly exposed to every atrocity across the globe.
