Look, I am not a billionaire loving guy anymore than some of you are.
But has anyone here considered that Musk has made an impact on the views of young white men (whom also happen to be Republican and Conservative or Proud Boys?
Does it bother us that these men follow a billionaire who doesn’t give two shits about them? Yes.
Do I care that Taylor Swift is the opposite of that and encourages young women and men, be it black, gay, trans, etc to be opposite end of that spectrum. Fuck yes, we shouldn’t base our views off the rich but has it ever occurred to anyone here that it is using those billionairs to represent and have them be vocal with the power they hold with our views instead?
I will absolutely take Taylor Swift speaking up and saying what she believes in and her giving that voice to 100000+ people whose only voice is heard in a vote if her speaking up also encourages people to say fuck Trump and and Musk and every fucking dumb ass on this post that thinks Taylor speaking out is a bad thing by comparison to it somehow being worse then what they already do with Musk.
Fuckem, fuck billionaires, but God damn keep fucking roasting them TSwiftie.
It’s one of the very few ethical ways to become a billionaire I think. If you sell an album or book for $10, and you’re a global sensation, it’s reasonable you’ll get 100 million people buying it. It just falls on you then to use that money for his good reasons and adequately compensate people who support you. And Swift has generally been really good about that.
Yes, agreed. I do think overall that being a billionaire necessitates someone else (lots of someone elses) getting the shaft. But there are degrees of… billionairism, and she is on the right side of that, albeit still a billionaire.

If your political opinion is swayed by either a pop star or a billionaire, you’re kinda a dumb ass. Full stop.
First, thank you for your comment without personal attacks, I’m getting torn up over here, but its me that is getting reported and comments removed for “incivility.”
Anyway, what you say is true, but I believe we need to be discerning with respect to our political influences and sources. I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong to consider the opinions of others (pop star or not), but it should not have the weight to sway our voting one way or the other
If only people were more logical and calm, like men! /s
Your political movement is impotent if it can’t seduce. Here’s an underrated short tube essay on the political power of bimbos:

I’m not down with billionaires either, but at least she’s using her fame and money towards some good things.

I think overall that is very much so the case. This is the exception, not the norm.
It’s almost like people have attributes other than their net worth.

Good thing dumbasses can’t vote…
I think you forgot the /s.
You’d be surprised.
… what? Are you serious? 80% of voters are dumb asses…
Nvm… I struggle without “/s”
It was sarcasm.
Oh… shwoosh. My bad sry.

That’s just how people work. Belief is social. We all value input from people we see as members of our in-group more than outsiders.
