    some swifties got butthurt that i didn’t give a fuck about fox news pointing at her plane and crying hypocrite (because that shit’s been background noise for a long time) and the longer it went on the more deranged and unhinged they got. it was not unlike talking to maga folks and i think i’m just going to avoid talking to anyone about anything at all until the libs either calm the hell down or the fascists kill them all because i’m just done trying to understand these twits

      I don’t care for milquetoast billionaires like Swift, but your meme just isn’t good. A true conversationalist? Inverted Elonbros? Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

      I still don’t know what those terms mean here, and I only figured out the rest of the meme from looking at the comments. It’s wordy and terminally online. Try something like:

      Hey libs, how’s it going?

      It’s so awful what Fox News did to Tay Tay! We need to protect her from their bullying and make sure she feels safe. We need to organize and protest after such horrific discrimination. Standing for women means standing with Taylor!

      yea

      There is valid concern over how they treat Swift; not for her sake, but for everyone else’s. If a rich normative liberal like her isn’t safe because she’s a woman, how can anyone else be? If fascists attacking Swift gets normies to notice the obvious danger, then who fucking cares? Don’t say “no,” say “yes and…” Rope them in, don’t shove them away.

      Elitism is cringe. It’s sad that it’s so normalized on the left. Purity is less than useless. Just don’t be an asshole and do good for other people. That actually matters. If you just want street cred, join the right where you can be close minded and mean. They love that.

      I don’t think they reacted to you not caring. That’s literally impossible.

      Did you maybe go on a tirade at them on how angrily you don’t care while adding as many insults to their musical taste as possible?

    It’s hilarious to me, like, this is all a very successful marketing campaign. I have successfully not thought about this pop star for ten years, and suddenly, it is impossible to avoid her.

    Like, do people not get that this is the new hotness in marketing? Start culture war controversy?

      I honestly think most of it is organic. She’s popular because of the usual mix of luck and skill that causes pop stars to get this big. It just happens. She has avoided politics as much as possible, never taking bold stances on issues that don’t directly impact her. Of course she supports women’s rights, she’s a woman with an audience of young women. Young women are more left wing than ever, so of course she’s on the side of liberal party instead of the fascist party.

      The right is mad at her for being a young woman, almost as a proxy for younger women that have no attachment to social conservatism. She’s a white capitalist in a straight relationship with a successful and masculine white dude, but that isn’t enough for the right. The fact that a woman has a seat at the rich people’s table is more than enough. They’ve gotten more upset over far less.
