I Know A Lot Of People Know May 4th To Be International Star Wars Day (may The Force Be With You!!)

i know a lot of people know may 4th to be international star wars day (may the force be with you!!) 

but in my country, it is the anniversary of our liberation from the control and occupation of hitler’s nazi germany. it is the day we light candles and put them in our windows.

when freedom finally arrived on may 4th 1945, the blackout curtains/blinds that people had been forced to use for 5 long years were ripped down from the windows and mass burned in the streets. not only did the countless of “bonfires” light up the streets, where people were hugging and dancing, but every citizen decided to light candles and put them on every window sill in their home, bringing light back into their lives. 

the candles signify a future of brighter day to come as well as deep mourning for the many lives lost.

it has been a tradition ever since ♡ happy may 4th ♡

what's the moral issue with the new collab? i'm so out of the loop

Kodak Black is a serial criminal, both alleged and actually convicted, who was literally in jail until he was pardoned by Tr*mp at the end of his time in office.

Just a list of things he's been accused/convicted of:

sexual assault assault robbery kidnapping false imprisonment child neglect plus many other crimes associated with drugs and weapons

And that's just him, some of the other artists on the song also have histories but this guy is the worst of it.

So the 'moral question' as usual is do you support a song knowing it also supports a man like this? For every ARMY that buys and streams this song, it also supports a criminal who'd literally still be in jail had he not been pardoned back in 2021. A lot of people are gonna sit this song out for this reason, and of course you already have a lot of ARMY (and the expected solos) acting like anyone choosing not to are just doing it to ''punish'' Jimin and not for the significantly bigger issues associated with the other people also on the track...
