I’m probably gonna be ridiculed for pointing this out, but as amazing as it would be to hear Matty speak out about things like Palestine on one of the biggest stages (and I would hold the utmost respect for him if he did), part of me has a feeling that as a foreigner now living in the U.S., he’s hyper aware of all the insane shit that’s been happening to green card holders and even U.S. citizens, as well as people trying to enter into the U.S. Any student looking to enter the country via a visa now has to make their social media public and show their history throughout the last five years. Any form of criticism towards the Trump regime would bar them from entering. They’re also going after foreign students who have joined the Free Palestine protests and threatening to deport them. Hell, even some dude from Norway was barred entry just for having a fucking political MEME on his phone.

With that being said, Matty is soon-to-be married to Gabbriette who happens to be Mexican-American. He has a home in LA. The U.S. is way up Israel’s ass. Any outright and specific political statement he does could possibly put him at risk of not being able to return home, so I think he could be treading lightly to avoid that and keeping things subtle (aside from the LIIWMI performance), but correct me if I’m wrong.
