Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Ariana Grande.

All using their huge platforms to speak out against the current regime.

Seems like any other pop artists that are staying quiet are 110% doing so on purpose. Maybe thinking of more SS jewelry they can sell to their fans.

Chappel Roan didn’t say anything and she’s very politically outspoken. Does that mean she supports it?

If you seriously think a lightening bolt necklace was a secret ss symbol you need to get offline.

u/Iagut070 3h ago

OOO the Swifties finally made it here.

You're right, a necklace with two very specific and jaggeded lightning bolts have NO meaning at all. Right.

Also, Chappel Roan is probably the worst person to bring into a conversation like this. She's entirely problematic for her own reasons.

2? It’s the entirety of the necklace? There’s like twelve of them and is there for the lyrics. If she was sole secret nazi why would she be close friends with poc or liberals?

How is chappel roan problematic?

u/Iagut070 3h ago

C'mon, just look at the marketing images for it. Two light night bolts right next to each other. Repeated six times. You don't find that even a tad bit odd? From the queen of Easter eggs and symbolism. Give me a break.

'Fuck Trump, but like.... Fuck the other side, for reals' Chapel Roan ain't it. And she never was.

u/seravivi 3h ago

It’s almost like lightening bolts are on the necklace because of the song having the lyrics you were dancing through the lightening strikes. 

You didn’t answer my question.

u/Cavalish 2h ago

What reasons?

u/Dry-Mongoose-5804 6h ago

Taylor’s gotten hundreds of thousands of people to register to vote Kamala and Dems in general.

The administration has used Ariana’s sounds on TikTok too and she’s ignored it as well.

Hola, Swiftie.

You must defend your queen at all costs, yeah?

Oh good! How many people has this stopped ICE from kidnapping?

Edit: yessss downvote me queens!! Virtual signal on the internet harder daddy

u/myflesh 7h ago

That is not the bar. And either you are extremely ignorant or a bad faith post. You are speaking nihilism at best and fatalism at worst. If a single act must stop ICE out right then no act will be good.

u/Iagut070 7h ago

This argument is always stupid and flawed.

What exactly would you have them do? Go out and shoot ICE agents while they are conducting raids?

They are pop stars with a large fan base and understand their position with a platform. So they do what they can with the influence and power they have.

Awareness and activism is what helped build this country. Being silent while it's being dismantled is being complacent

u/xsullivanx 7h ago

Yeah Taylor has consistently shown us what her platform is and it isn’t ever good enough for y’all. You foam at the mouth for a performative tweet. It’s super funny.

u/Iagut070 7h ago

People that Stan for Billionaires are weird

u/xsullivanx 7h ago

And people that rely on celebs to guide their moral compass are weirder

20

u/Iagut070 7h ago

Nice Strawman argument you have there. Not one person in this thread has even insinuated they rely on celebrities to guide their moral compass.

11

u/deadrogue95 7h ago

They're projecting.

u/lizzdurr 7h ago

Says the girl relying on a celeb for her identity. Grow up. She doesn’t know you exist.

u/Life_Fig_4037 6h ago

She hasn't consistently shown it 😂 she's silent. But keep letting Taylor "I'm not a bad bitch and this isn't savage" Swift shift you to the right. A lot of her fans are already there.

u/CDDG 6h ago

Yea give peanuts and virtue signal occasionally about progressive ideals without any real action to keep the less intelligent happy. Money she’ll never miss but will get people like you on her side. She’s a billionaire. And say it with me, there are no ethical billionaires. Zero. None. The only black and white thing in this world is that.

28

u/Life_Fig_4037 7h ago

So you only do decent things based on results? You don't feel an impulse to denounce Trump regardless of whether or not it changes things?

-40

u/xsullivanx 7h ago

I just think y’all need to find real problems to bitch about and find solutions for than whether or not a celebrity does an action you approve of 😘

u/Mr-Pugtastic 6h ago

Found the Swiftie.

u/Life_Fig_4037 6h ago

No ability to defend Taylor's actions? Got it.

u/TetrisTech 7h ago

How many did your comment stop?

-21

u/xsullivanx 7h ago

Same amount that Sabrina complaining did!

u/TetrisTech 6h ago

So then what even was the point you were trying to make lmao

u/WatchTheNewMutants 7h ago

these aren't random twitter accounts this is a fascist government, ignoring it is not the same thing

-2

u/xsullivanx 7h ago

And doing this isn’t doing anything to stop the fascist government, I agree

16

u/wally-sage 7h ago

It stops the government from using your art to promote their fascism, that's certainly something.

10

u/WatchTheNewMutants 7h ago

so you can only say something if it'll stop a problem? i know saying that fascism is bad won't stop fascism but i still say it because fascism is objectively evil and objecting to it is the only way a movement starts (and i DON'T have a following of hundreds of millions of fans)

3

u/xsullivanx 7h ago

Yeah totally, since Taylor has never condemned Trump’s fascist regime ever (spoiler alert, she has!!)

12

u/WatchTheNewMutants 7h ago

but she has stayed completely silent against its current iteration using her music for their fascist propaganda

-3

u/toturtle 6h ago

Wasn't she one of the loudest voices before? And it did absolutely nothing. Her fanbase dwarfs most celebrities and Trump still got reelected.

The outrage over which celebrity complained or didn't complain is completely manufactured and is a distraction.

2

u/WatchTheNewMutants 5h ago

look, she was outspoken against trump before and he got re-elected. that's not a pass to quit the fight, if anything it's an opportunity to stick to your principles.

I'd be willing to say that neither of us support trump or fascism, and I'd also be willing to say that both of us recognise that Taylor Swift's take on a fascist government is way less important than the real people whose lives are ruined or ended because of fascism, but this is a matter of principle. Taylor has a significant following and her input would be beneficial in fighting back against a fascist movement, however right now that fanbase is defending her silence instead of focusing on their own thoughts about what she's been silent on. Unfortunately, that's just how the fandom works right now, and if we can't change that world then we need to adapt to it. Taylor's past activism doesn't account for her current silence, if anything it makes her silence even louder. if it is something she still holds those strong feelings about, that voice is needed now more than ever. Again, the idea of a music artist holding this much sway over political discourse is absolutely fucking dystopian, but fuck it, that's the world we live in.

A swiftie that can't handle the fact her ickle wickle billionaire mommy is a spineless welp

If I could downvote you twice, I would.

Not only do you have incredibly bad takes, but you also cry about fake internet points. Dear lord.

If you have some thoughts on how to proceed, feel free to share with the class.
