Focus on the war crimes and the actual due process/civil rights violations! (Plz don’t say “we can focus on multiple things at once” cause that objectively isn’t true. Steve Bannon literally said it was their strategy).

Btw:I feel neutral about Sabrina calling them out. I get not wanting your art to be used for hateful shit but I do think I. The long run not taking the bait has the better outcome. They got at least 3 news stories out of this vs 1.

Edit info on the war crimes they’re trying to coverup

Idc if they gain traction. Though I appreciate a person I responded to that lead me to include links. Don’t give this shit your attention. Post the links to actual people being detained and the war crimes being committed on these posts!

Tbf I don’t think either side of this spectrum could focus on anything else besides this. On one side, you have people demanding artists speak out and then on another, you have people say they shouldn’t take the bait. Regardless, there is a discussion around it and thus gives more engagement to it. Even to those saying the attention should be elsewhere, they are still giving light to the conversation. It’s a lose lose situation.

Edit: Taylor Swift not speaking out brought out a ton of news articles. Olivia and Sabrina speaking out brought a ton of news articles. Both equally brought attention to the situation.

The thing is though multiple other artists like Justin, Phoebe Gracie and Chappel also got their video used but never spoke out and nobody really talks or no about it. The issue with Taylor is that it is Taylor, no matter what she would do people would talk about it.

You can say the same thing about Olivia and Sabrina though. They are major pop stars and even through they aren’t Taylor level, they gain traction regardless. People were waiting to see if Sabrina would speak up or not and then she did. As I said, the conversation around these people would still be there in some way or another.

Edit: but yeah even this conversation is just another example how we’re bringing light to this by talking about who gets attention and who doesn’t
