Europeans: “I don’t understand you Americans, if your working conditions, wages, and social safety net are so bad, why do you not simply unionize or strike?”
Americans:

WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE LUDLOW MASSACRE, WHY WASN’T I TAUGHT THIS IN CLASS
you know what keeps me up at night? wondering about how the fuck k-pop got so popular. like, what’s the appeal??? is it the highly manufactured songs, the toxicity of the industry, the racist overtones, the capitalist hellscape dialled up to eleven with saturated colours to make up for how empty and meaningless the music is?
your favourite idol could just be blinking and y’all’d be like “omg!!! you will not believe what baekhyun has done
😍
💦” like sis i know i was unbearable during my ~superwholock~ phase but y’all are in your 20s and fetishizing & infantilizing asian men while glorifying a horribly toxic industry that’s been known to exploit young teens and kids for monetary gain
personally I was just upset with k-pop fans writing about wanting to milk those guys but this is a good point too.
A good amount of people have probably realized all of this already, so I’m not sure what compelled me to make this, but ever since I connected the dots with the music, I’ve been slightly obsessed.
… I have a feeling that someone really doesn’t want us to forget that they’re with us in the dark.
