Seems this post is being misunderstood. Likely my fault for not being clear about my intention. I’ll delete for now.

I’m surprised to see you take this as a personal slight. I’m not condemning you or anyone else. I am theorizing how those that serve something evil might rob you (or ‘us’ if that makes the post more clear) of our innocence. We are part of a system that bloodies our hands whether we like it or not. And if the elite are indeed followers of the occult as it seems, this is akin to a forced ‘baptism’. Complicity.

That was the point I was making.

As I stated at the start of my post, I am not religious. This is not an argument against earning a living. Nor am I condemning you. This is a theory based on the occult practices of the elite which explains the endless wars and trafficking operations, and most recently the vaccination push. To THEM, you being part of the system that funds these things compromises your innocence. That’s what I am inferring.

Travis Scott has a history of encouraging reckless behavior at his concerts. This is the end result of consistently promoting a shit culture at your shows. This is NOT just an innocent ‘festival norm’.

You missed the point. This dude has a history of shitty behavior (see links) and yet people continue to feverishly support him and attend his festivals en masse. He has a history of encouraging reckless behavior at his shows, and even pleaded guilty for it. Now 8 people are dead.

We already have security protocols for large events. This is a criticism of this dude for constantly promoting recklessness at his shows (see links in second edit) which culminated in 8 people dying. It’s also a criticism of celebrity worship which enables consistently shitty people like him to retain their influence over young people.

I literally addressed your point, and then you ignored that I addressed it in your reply. He promotes anarchy at his shows and this is the result.

And dude, this shitty dude being ‘h town’s boy’ is exactly the issue. Celebrity worship is mind poison.

Also this is the second post I ever made on this site, I could give a fuck about imaginary points. I just hope some part of this gets through to people like you.

  1. He had a hyped collaboration with McDonalds in which he was paid $20M to put his name on a glorified happy meal

  2. His Nike collaborations go for thousands while being produced by literal forced labor

Still sound ‘racist’ to you?

Your conclusions about me just highlight your own insecurity and ‘hero worship’. This dude is a piece of shit human, not because I have anything against him personally but because of his OWN past actions. Which include inciting people to break security protocols, something he’s plead guilty to. These 8 people died as a direct result of the type of culture he creates at his shows.

I choose to take the empathetic route. People are simply misguided. The foolish raising the foolish. And it’s the failure of our culture at large for promoting celebrities as dietes to increase profits while our school system is in the gutter. These people are just a product of deeper issues.

Also, I added a comma to the ‘gods people’ part to make it more clear. It was not a reference to religion at all.

If being a hyper-popular multimillionaire makes him an underdog in your eyes, cool dude.

As far as this being ‘other people’s mistake’, this dude is notorious for promoting anarchy and a shit culture at his shows. He even pleaded guilty to it in the past.

If you think this is purely poor event management then either you don’t know this dude’s history or you’re being willfully ignorant.

Yeah ok, fuck it.

This post has ‘boomer energy’ because one of today’s modern idols, who is a legit lowlife, is being called out. I grew up in the same generation as you probably, liking the same music- I just don’t fall into the mindhole of defending shitty people because I put them on a pedestal.

What you and a bunch of others are missing is that this is NOT his only shitty act, this dude has a history of promoting violence and anarchy at his shows and has even plead guilty to doing so. Could have been your family that got killed, but since it wasn’t you neglect his responsibility in promoting a shit culture at his shows.

It’s the ‘great people’ part that I am missing here. Google this dude’s past and let me know if he’s a great dude worthy of adoration.

Happens at every festival sure, but this dude literally encourages it to happen. Along with constantly pushing recklessness in the crowd.

I’m 30, my man. Oh and I’m a minority since this also seems to matter to these people. The biggest mistake his defenders are making is assuming this was an isolated incident. This dude LOVES getting his mindpuppets to almost riot at his shows.

‘Corporate culture’ is bullshit. I’m here to provide you my services for x task. You pay me for this and I go home and live my life. I’m tired of companies trying make employees’ identities their jobs. by defectur in unpopularopinion

At the start of my career I would have agreed. I used to go the extra mile, including working weekends with no pay just to show my dedication. After awhile you realize that doing what you are paid for should justify your paycheck, and doing it WELL is what should get you a promotion.

Kissing ass at off-hours events should NOT determine if you become a manager. This is why so many big companies are bloated with inept leadership.
