The problem is that Taylor Swift is the only billionaire that I see other leftists simping for. Anyone can say Musk bad and expect a lot of agreement and absolutely no meaningful discussion. If you think there’s no such thing as a good billionaire, but you make exceptions for ones that make music that you like, you need to reflect on why you feel the things you feel. Are you actually morally opposed to billionaires, or do you just personally not like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos?
I am opposed to systems that create oppression and injustice. Taylor Swift had fuck-all to do with creating any of that.
She benefits from it, sure, and she shouldn’t. But targeting her as the problem just feels like the vicious habit of just targeting the weakest example you can think of and pretending that if we keep shitting on that target, it’ll make everything better.
Fighting the billionaires people actually like is a terrible strategy to deal with the billionaire problem. We need to motivate people to go out and vote against and write laws against billionaires as a whole.
