chocosoldier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months agoFox news pulled out the old “rich liberal having a private jet makes them a hypocrite because emissions” nugget they’ve been falling back on since the 2000 election (if not longer, that was the year i started following politics) and now it’s getting astroturfed everywhere. more meaningless culture war shit, basically.

On top of Fox News pulling the “hypocrite leftist” stuff, there are also leftists like myself that simply don’t like anyone with a private jet. Swift may not be an alt-right troll, but there is no such thing as a billionaire leftist. She’s a capitalist who knows her audience.

while i also feel private jets are bad in general this is a conservative-media-led dogpile meant to smear her as punishment for telling her fans to vote or somesuch. there’s more productive things to do with that drive and energy than parrot literally decades-old Fox News smears. why are we playing their game?
