the shit tyler starts doing as soon as he steps up onto the contract platform that’s being held up by six twenty year olds who have been standing outside all day and are one stiff breeze away from passing out from heat stroke
those saying “they’re not political!” or “stop asking them to speak out on human rights, they make music!” i’d like to ask you to also read the room. they’ve laced their digital footprint & media we consume with some kind of stance for years. it’s no different now. SPEAK UP!
staying neutral means you're actively acknowledging that it's wrong but you won't say anything against it. you have a platform, those dying don't. speak up, share, continue protesting, continue donating, continue being aware and don't let those most powerful silence us.
quiet is violent because you choose to stay silent when the most vulnerable needs it. staying neutral is not an option, you're giving space and allowing those most powerful to continue perpetuating their genocide and it's ideas when you choose not to speak on it.
