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.
  
  She actually does her best to make sure the folks who work for her are taken care of.
  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.
  
  My wife hung out with her for the day as part of her job. Her mother was a bitch—my wife accidentally tripped Taylor over and the mother lost it—but Taylor was super nice. They were friends by the end of the day and swapped numbers, but neither ever reached out haha.
  This was before she got super famous and was just some young country singer. I dunno if she's still the same but I don't see why not.
  
  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.
  
  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.
  
  Lol, tankies will you have me because even though I burn that bridge and will continue to, these guys don't want me.
- I…thought it was to make the trolley problem a little more difficult to resolve.
  
  Yeah 1, 2, and 4 are easy lever flicks, 3’s a bastard but I would be on the fence about the lever flick and 5 is even less “objectively deserves to feel the consequences of their actions” though no one with that much net worth is particularly easy to be sympathetic to.
  
  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.
- One of these people is not like the others
- 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.

That Palestinian child is going to be horrified that I let Taylor swift die.
- At least the child will be around to miss her.
- I'm sure the child will be able to shake it off.

the child lives
gg ez
in fact the only way you'd get me to let the palestinian child die is if you strapped netanyahu to the tracks next to him.
- If even a single child has to die then it's not the right choice. We can end bad people and spare children, it's just that easy!
  
  And the anti abortion movement was born.

We cannot normalize stupid memes like this one.
- "That's why I'm running for US senate."

Sorry, Taylor! I know you'll understand.

And what is the lever? What choice are you making irl between billionaires and victims of Netanyahu's violence?
- I suppose I could come up with some stuff. Would you like to tell me what you think it might be so I don't have to argue about it for 30 mins.
  
  I don't know. That's why I asked the question. Which you apparently don't have an actual answer to, since you're so open to "[coming] up with some stuff".
  And now you've gone the route of acting like I'm being problematic for asking basic questions about the vague ragebait meme you posted. Classic. I wonder what your next deflection will be.
