Devils advocate for the heck of it. Gonna be submerged in bad rep for this.

This is comparative to people wearing "I can't breathe" signs after Floyd or waving a pride flag to show solidarity. You just give them shit because you do t agree with them.

Sure they are all fucking stupid for not seeing the obvious flaws in their idol. But giving them shit for a pretty rational way of showing support to their idol is not the right use of your energy.

You are participating in the fragmentation of your nation by pouring your hate into simple stuff like this.

For all I care go ahead. I'm European.
