Read on Twitter
If you read through the thread you will see that there is also some evidence that K-pop, being such a large and influential twitter block, and one that has engaged with protests in Chile and other places, has driven this resurgence simply through their tweets. https://twitter.com/BiellaColeman/status/1267251404030312450
Excellent piece on Twitter and K-pop fandom https://restofworld.org/2020/kpop-jonghyun-twitter-policy/?fbclid=IwAR0_PWnuEKdZeUYQw0VGyqIexNrl-wZShtt8xjD890BEP8CeIty-j64Z9DU
I love the ideas of Tweens Pushing Revolution Through a Social Media Message DDoS :)
Total tween aesthetics here. I love it. https://twitter.com/kat0_0rina/status/1266999517309800448
If this is the case and hope to confirm with more details later, it is a wonderful example for how to brute force amplification :) Those that are able to dominate the Memes of Production (& other social media platform) can help set the frame/terms of the debate and inspire folks
Another thread by the most excellent @Justin_Ling weighing the very same question https://twitter.com/Justin_Ling/status/1266039801939140608
It's also the case that in parts of Asia, notably HK, the mask is also part of the collective protest consciousness https://twitter.com/Rachael0__0/status/1267383450291654656
https://twitter.com/mhc727/status/1267314987040735233 --> by a kpop scholar. It's looking more legit though I am still struck by the insane number of RT for that original post. Very rare for political tweets but lots of the responses also show a desire for Anonymous to be back.
