I wouldn't be surprised to have some articles in the next few weeks uncovering a massive smearing campaign against Swift funded by republicans.

Lolol progressives have hated her fire years for this. Now it’s right wing backed?
PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 8 months ago
The hate itself, no, the sheer deluge of memes about it coincidentally right after the Rs spooked she would use her status to give Joe Biden an official endorsement? Hardly unreasonable to suspect it given what we know they’ll stoop to.

I started expecting the Kremlin to smear her a few weeks ago.
They have the resources and experience needed to shift public opinion with anonymous social media accounts. Swift threatened their candidate’s viability (Trump) so they want to make an example out of her.
Turns out she’s pretty squeaky clean. Best they can come up with so far is AI generated pics of airplanes and a conspiracy she rigged a football game.

It’s not about owning jets, it’s about using the one she has for 13 minute fucking flights while preaching about climate change. If musk pulled the same kinda shit, he’d be mocked for it too, amon other things he deserves to be mocked for.

Do you think Musk is not doing similar things? We have a politician that flew to Sylt (island in Germany) with his private jet for a fucking wedding of another politician and he didnt get half as much shit for it.
What Im saying is: hate everyone equally or dont hate.
I don’t like Taylor Swifts behaviour anymore then you. But clearly someone was out for her and not for poor Elon. Where are the fucking memes about literally every rich person? Jeff Bezos disgustingly big yacht for example? And if it really was about her double standards: Elon pretends to be an environmentalist as wenn whenever he talks about Tesla and electric cars. Yet his factories get build in the middle of water protection zones, a Tesla is shot into space and do you really think hes not using those 3 jets on a regular basis? Why have 3 after all?
Regarding your edit: maybe I’ve wasted my time writing this because clearly you’re not up for an actual discussion, but for sad and petty schoolyard behaviour.
StreetLamp@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I do hate EVERY billionaire and politician destroying the environment doing stupid wasteful things, elon musk can absolutely go eat shit, i’m not defending him. it’s just that I think people are trying to give her a free pass specifically due to her political views more than anything else and that everyone, regardless of their opinions on anything should be held accountable for their actions. As for my edit, I just like being a petty asshole to people I don’t agree with. I’m not even a native speaker, i’ve probaby made like 4 mistakes in this paragraph alone.

Raising awareness of private jet usage by targeting politicians is not going to be as effective as targeting high profile celebrities.
The positive is hopefully that rich folk start reducing their private jet usage so they dont get raked over thr coals and have a jet-usage-tracking-account publishing their ridiculous flights.
Extreme carbon usage like that is a huge issue (if not the defining issue) at the moment to a large amount of people.
Shine a light on all of it, expose it all. Every polititian doing stupid stuff, every rich CEO, every celeb. But it has to start somewhereFeeee23@lemmy.world 8 months ago

The entire response was actually responding to your comment, and one side note was added to address your great spelling. You went for the side note.

Yes, ignore the actual point I’ve made, you’re a master debater (maybe remove the de-)

Yes, it is funny how more people are not calling out the Electric Car Jesus for swooping around in private jets and single-handedly undoing any positive effect his customers can have...

They were, this literally started with the kid tracking his jet and Elon getting so butthurt about it he bought twitter so he could han the account
gmtom@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This whole thing literally started with thr guy tracking Elons Jet and making fun of him for it. The memes are about Taylor Swift because she’s suing the guy without legal cause as a way to intimidate him.
Stop trying to make this a culture war thing.
Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
She’s not suing him, she’s threatening to by sending a cease and desist. Anyone can send a C&D to anyone for any reason, they don’t actually do anything until action is put behind them.
This is actually an important distinction, because if she does sue him it’ll be really interesting to see the actual legal reason behind it.
PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 8 months ago
She’d probably try to argue that regular updates effectively on what folks will assume is her general position endangers her and the guests she loans her jet to given the crazy fans and even crazier haters.
People have been getting violent over media popular with women and girls since Elvis.

You can hate everyone, no need to restrict yourself.
Witchfire@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Elon Musk can be hated for MANY reasons. This is just one of many.
brown567@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
To be fair, we did bully elon about his private jets so hard he bought Twitter about it…
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Wait you’re saying if we keep bullying Taylor swift she might buy Elon Musk?
superduperenigma@lemmy.world 8 months ago
We feed the worst billionaires to the billionaires who aren’t actively trying to dismantle democracy. Once we’ve fattened those billionaires up, we eat the rich.

If people don’t notice how much more society hates women for doing the same things men get away with everyday, they simply haven’t been paying attention.
If they’re only just now having it pointed out to them, after participating in the latest hate campaign, they’re motivated not to understand because they don’t want to recognise their own behaviour on this.
Talking about how they “hate both” might be true for any one person, but that doesn’t change the wider trend.
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
…do you think men don’t get shit for flying in private jets? They absolutely do.
Men and women get treated differently for many things, though, yeah. Sometimes this is more to the detriment of women, sometimes it is more to the detriment of men.
You don’t need to turn this into a culture war thing.
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Sigh. Everything on the planet is about hating women and black people. It’s so tiring.
Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Why can’t I generally be displeased with both for their jets, and for their. Billionaire status? Nothing else needs to come into it
GiddyGap@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Well, it’s not really about the jets is it?
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Taylor is fantastic.
lemminger@lemm.ee 8 months ago
just hate both for whatever reasons. if you can’t think of any, owning a private jet is definitely a good one.
