Why are people trying so hard to get Taylor Swift lumped in with those other goons? Yea ok she has high ticket prices but at least she has a real job. The rest are actively trying to destroy democracy and the working class.
She's a woman. It's just misogyny. She actually does her best to make sure the folks who work for her are taken care of.
The fact that all the wealthiest in the world are mostly awkward straight white dudes who don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves probably hits too close to home.
If not Taylor, it would be Oprah or some shit.
Back when the directors and actors and everyone else in Hollywood was on strike, she got her movie made. She did it by the simple expedient of getting everyone together in one roomn and asking "What do you want?" They gave her their lists, she looked the lists over and said, "Great, you got it! Let's sign this thing and get to work!", and they did.
She’s still fucked up. Especially in relation to absurd usage of private jets and questionable carbon offset tokens.
But yes, most of the hyperfixation on her is way overblown and reeks of misogyny.
Do you have ANY idea how many celebrities do the same? How many CEOs?
People are clamoring on this one thing about her because she's a woman and she's wealthy. I couldn't give two shits about TS, but I can see when people are trying to have SOMETHING on her, when there is nothing really there.
The people I find who act like TS is singlehandedly causing climate change, are also people who actually don't give AF about climate change.
The best billionaire can go to the guillotine last.
you clearly didn’t read my comment because I’m mostly aggreing lol.
Take a deep breath, and actually attempt to understand what I said. Not just the first sentence, but my entire comment.
Uh huh. My response was to the first part of your comment.
I say that: Swift does fucked up stuff private jet. But the obsession on criticising her as opposed to all the other rich people reeks of misogyny.
You said that: Me critcizing her is wrong because so many other people do private jets.
My reaction: So you’re criticizing me by agreeing with me? Or you think private jets is okay? I’m confused?
I just didn't say you were wrong. I say other people DO private jets, are far older than her and have been using them for far longer, and that on the list of folks who are destroying our planet and eating up resources, I really don't think she compares. People just latch on her because she's a wealthy woman.
Tbh, I think we're agreeing but saying it differently. Sorry if I'm coming across harsh at you, but I'm not actually complaining about what YOU said. Mostly venting just to vent by pigging backing off your comment.
I don't like her music, but that's just music preferences and not a reflection on her. I have no issues with her as a human being.
I think some of it may be the generic "billionaires are bad." But there are many, many better examples to choose from. She is just a bigger name, more well known than many of them.
She supported Harris. A vast majority, if not all of these "look at Isreal and Palestine" posts are an attempt to siphon votes away from Harris and improve Trump's odds of winning the election.
Lol, tankies will you have me because even though I burn that bridge and will continue to, these guys don't want me.
Da, Boris, to influence the election we must post on the federated reddit alternative with all the trekkies and Linux nerds and communists. Reddit? Noooo. Too many people. Twitter? Are you high? We need to go where the action is.
There's also a lot of that activity on Twitter and Reddit. Sometimes not by obvious Russian trolls, but by people not directly affected by the US elections. It's yet another question, what they'll do, once Trump gives Russia what it wants (thus will be drunk on power and want even more), or "sets new standards in human rights" (anti-LGBTQ+ laws, outlawing no fault divorce, etc.).
I…thought it was to make the trolley problem a little more difficult to resolve.
Nah, it was to point out the obvious flaws in harm reduction.
Tankie cred. There’s nothing like casually talking about guillotining Taytay to let people know in no uncertain terms that you’re definitely no bourgeois liberal electoralist. It’s the 2020s equivalent of declaring how enthusiastically and unflinchingly you’d have bayoneted the Romanov children.
Meh, I was only going for a dash of spice.
It kinda came out like chili powder added to a fruit smoothie. Spice is fine when based in truth but this kinda just comes across as trying to dilute the issue.
Nah
You're the spice bb and I wouldn't get rid of you.
One of these people is not like the others
