  • It’s not the person organizing the event and flying people out. It’s those poor peasants that dared attend. What an argument to make.

    Someone else would fly the jet is also, not a coherent defense because someone else isn’t doing that. She’s flying her own private jet right now.

    It’s a systemic problem, yes. So criticize all aspects of the system to show how inherently flawed it is. All private jet travel by all celebrities should be criticized. Suddenly when it’s not Elon tons of defenders need to tell us how we should look the other way and how there’s nothing important here in this identical situation.

    If anyone is trying to prevent anything, it’s Taylor sycophants throwing themselves to defend her from valid criticism.


  • She needs to pollute so she can keep singing isn’t the defense you think it is. If anything it’s evidence of her own selfish belief that the environment shouldn’t affect her money train.

    I’m sure streaming residuals and the metric tons of marketing deal money are more than enough for her to slow down and find an ethical way to travel.


  • More than most billionaires is a pathetically low bar to clear. Charities are less efficient than paying taxes to fund proper centralized systems but this way they get to hold on to the majority of their dragon hoard, not meaningfully address most of the cause they donate too, and launder their reputation to people like you that can’t see past the hollow optics.








  • The counter argument is that the systemic injustices that exist are perpetuated primarily through it being convenient to maintain the status quo.

    A capitalists system like this needs a underclass to siphon wealth from.

    Thus by fighting the class war you inherently will be tearing down the pillars upholding these injustices. If you get enough Republican voters to have class consciousness the culture war will fall apart on its own because it primarily exists to keep those groups distracted.



  • A lot of them already have a sizable refugee population actually. They can’t fit a whole other country’s worth of people along with their own.

    Beyond that, I bet you’d turn out similarly if you grew up in an open air prison where a terrorist group took power before you were even born. And if you did turn out to be not an angel, I’d still advocate for your humane treatment.

    If you count anime as any animation from Japan then no. From my research it looks like the first animated Japanese film was a propaganda film released in 1945.

    If you consider the aesthetic commonly known as “anime” today then yes because the first Superman cartoon came out in 1966 while “modern anime” had it’s begins in the 70s.
