We have the expression (well in English for those unaware of it) of a stopped clock being right twice a day for a reason. Guess that expression is probably going to the wayside these days though. Even the worst people make an agreeable point now and then afterall.
Assuming that's the one with the correct take: yes it does matter, him going out there and making sure his opposing opinion is know is a good thing. It doesn't directly matter to us over here, but he has a large audience and broadly that is a good thing for us.
It's so crazy that we can come to the same conclusion and only one of us has a half decent reason.
You don't want corporations to be able to do whatever they want because you're a racist scumbag, I don't want corporations to be able to do whatever they want because they have enacted an oligarchy. We are not the same.
With no subtext whatsoever I agree with the idea of "make America great again", however I feel like the people who proudly spout that slogan would heavily disagree with the way that I would go about it. Hint: it would involve a volcano.
Not a thing, apparently. All the blowing about yellowstone blowing is done by people with a single line or two from the scientists' work, and never by the scientists themselves.
Imo that's why Bad Bunny's show was great. He never addressed politics directly. He just made his culture look fun.
So now every time someone tries to rope in politics, you can just look at it on it's face and see a good show that makes you happy if you're open minded. So everyone who criticizes it has to work really hard to make it sound bad.
Not to totally detract from the point of what you're saying, which is totally correct, but... All of everything seems to keep stepping over that it's not just influential on American music, but it is American music. That they keep framing parts of our culture as somehow not shows that it's just racism.
Puerto Rico has been part of the US longer than Oklahoma, new Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, or Hawaii. Puerto Rican culture is more American than whatever weird nonsense they have in Oklahoma.
Neither was, why you would give a fuck? I don't give a fuck either, but I am damned to live on this planet and timeline so sadly I have heard those names before. And no, I am not 20-something.
I cannot believe that even once, I agree with suicide forest, crypto bro con artist, rug pulling Logan Paul. Even if this is just for attention, like some suggest, it's at least better to have someone wildly popular with younger people (somehow) to be saying this.
you asked why that factoid was important... I tried to be funny by telling you that the girl one of these Paul idiots is dating is actually hot and OP brought it up because he is horny
I was watching the olympics and the commentators said that maybe her 6million followers can help her over the line, and I’m like okay… then they showed a shot of that human punching bag and I’m like oh ok.
They say that one day and then get angry the next when the rest of us do the thing he wants us to do, but not the way (to whom) he wants us to do it to. Hypocrite is the word.

I don't like any reality where the Japanese death forest YouTuber who decided to play boxer, is anything resembling a voice of reason

Those aren't the same. Death forest is the older one who does WWE, the younger one is the boxer and whose "merch is selling like a god church"

The oft-forgotten full phrase is: "a broken clock is right twice a day, but you still wouldn't use it to tell time."
Similarly, often in reference to corrupt cops or politicians: "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch."

Aren't most of those "full phrases" made up inventions from Tumblr?

Well, those two in particular were used heavily by my elders growing up in the 70s, so it predates the web by a little bit.

That one is Jake, he's the one in the op at the bottom, with the intolerant opinion. He's playing a heel character here.
The other is Logan, with the message of tolerance, who is playing a face.
Neither of them is being genuine, they are just looking for attention. Both of them.

Those guys have had fake internet beef for years. They thrive on being controversial to each other. It is what made them famous in the first place.
I suspect this is yet an other aspect of this beef and they are only dong it for clout.
