I really don’t get this super bowl shit, it amazes me that people will look for hope in a show made to show ads in the biggest flex from the marketing branches of every major US company

Don’t get me started on inviting Lady Gaga, known zionist, to perform there

As a Canadian, what I saw in that half time show and the few things I’ve seen him say elsewhere indicate he has displayed the values and mentality that I was told while growing up that America is all about. These values are not what I see perpetuated by the a large portion of the American population.

Bunny has better values I’m sure and Americans might want to believe he represented them but personally I think Trump pretty accurately represents Americans values. He just says the quiet part out loud and in an inelegant way.

With respect to Mr. Bunny, this is not saying much. Think about it, how many random picks would it take to find someone who better embodies those values than the orange baboon?

I don’t know who Bunny is and why he’s bad, but I believe a steaming pile of faeces embodies America’s value better than Trump.

I watched Bad Bunny’s performance. He was entertaining, he danced well, and the sets were nice. There were no subtitles so I could not tell what he was saying. I still felt like I understood him when he named off all the countries in North and South America. I understood that he was saying everyone in those countries is American and should be united. I can’t say for certain though, but that was the message I received.

Meanwhile, not only is Trump going after brown people, but his thugs executed a woman on the spot for what she saw. No trial, just straight to execution. Then they executed a protester. Trump said they were both terrorists. If Ms Good was a terrorist for what she saw that day (we will never know exactly what she saw that warranted her immediate execution), what does that make the rest of us who see this kind of thing day in and day out on the news?

Apple and Google have both advertised products which will translate speech in real time. They’ve never said anything about music. But maybe one day we will live in a world where it won’t matter what language a person uses, whether speaking or singing, we will be able to understand them, at least to some extent. (I’ve tried Apple’s solution with music. It works, but it struggles to keep up. So you get one line and maybe another a minute or so later. It is definitely not ready for prime time. Also, I used a Japanese song, and Japanese and English are the most foreign to one another, so Spanish might have yielded better results.)

It’d be hilarious if bad bunny ran for president.

It’s really funmy how duolingo became a socio-cultural benchmark. And it isn’t even that good. But hey it’s something.

/edit also don’t associate with that kid rock guy ever, he’s one of the worst thing i have ever heard, and i am not talking on a political sense, but on human terms.

It is an affront to the greatness of the United States and does not represent our values of success, creativity, and excellence.

~Quite the opposite, the history of the US is, in fact, a history of migrations. Something the many if you used to be proud, especially in the 90’s, the idea that the ‘melting pot’ was open.

I was thought the concept of melting pot in history classes, as the idea that a society that stays open can function as a gateway and not as a gatekeeper.

The kkk and the racist religious and fanatical organisations have always acted as a regressive force, and it’s no news that these criminals thrived in poor or less developed areas. They are attempting to rewrite history there.

After all this shit is over, the America I want to remember (as a non-American), is the America of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, of Albert Einstein, WEB Du Bois, of John Brown, of Tupac, of the creation and heights of new arts and sciences. For being the first truly fully modern nation on earth. Where the ideals of the new age first became law. For fighting for freedom and the wellbeing of every individual.

But when Trump was first elected, I remember feeling “damn he is the most American guy ever huh”. And he is. He’s a grifter and a scammer, a heir failson who fell upwards in life due to his evilness. And that’s America as well. It’s also Rockefeller, Carnagie, Mellon, Morgan all the robber barons, Joseph Smith, Roy Cohn, Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lanski, the Dulles brothers. Of eugenics and “enhanced interrogations”. Of forced sterilizations and experiments on unwilling subjects.

America was founded on genocide, conquest and slavery. And it rewarded the people that most embodied the ideals necessary for that up until this day.

The world can only be free when the empire falls, and America is returned to the natives and reparations are made to all descendants of enslaved people. When we all face the reality that no nation can exist founded on the principles of white supremacy and simply “reform”.

But after that, I’ll remember America for all the good that it was. Not for being the most evil nation on earth. I hope.

If the comparison is Trump, King George III passes; and we literally fought a war to not be under his rule.

and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children

The USA’s aversion to the human body is so strange to me. Is there a tangible negative to children occasionally seeing thicc booty once in a while? And don’t even get me started on nudity. As long as parents are present to provide guidance, as they should be in all things, seeing different bodies can be a valuable learning experience and a boost to body image. That said, if the only women your child ever sees are mommy and twerking latinas, you’re in for a bad time.

I thought it was great all the trees were people.

American here, no idea what bad bunny stands for. The halftime show was probably the first time I’ve listened to him and I didn’t recognize a single track.

Yeah no to both

No they don’t
