What Taylor Swift thinks about 2017, and what it teaches us about Activism

You have ruined mine. I just found out this year that isn't Jeff Goldblum in your avatar and I haven't been able to sleep right since.
Mise is still pretty cool though
 
I mean, I refuse to accept the idea that I am wrong because I won't fight for some nebulous causes that don't directly concern me. Especially considering I'm in a job where if I get caught protesting (which is a very likely scenario considering you can't do anything nowadays without someone catching it on camera), I get fired. If that happens, is the LGBTQ community going to pay my bills and keep my kids clothed and fed? No, they will not.
Perhaps the fact you live in a society where you are forced to choose between your right to participate in public life and your material survival is a cause which might motivate you to some sort of action.
 
Man, T. Swizzle is weird. Whenever she actively tries to look sexy, seductive, raunchy or whatever adjective you want, she comes out looking clunky, off-putting, bordering on creepy. She looks like a mannequin trying to fit in among humans. Or maybe like an AI convincing herself she is precisely not that. Ironically enough I think she's hot, but only when she's not trying. She looks best on accidental pictures, or when she doesn't know she's being *click*ed.

Maybe she is Olympia, the creation of Spallanzani :mischief:
 
Moderator Action: This thread is not about Hillary Clinton, the budget or other political topics of that ilk. If you want to discuss these topics, please start a new thread. I will not repeat myself again.
 
The careful observer will note that these attacks on Swift from some on the Left are only because she is white, and refuses to apologize for it. Were she a celebrity any other race, nobody would have any problem with her statements. Can anybody seriously deny that?

Therefore this isn't just a matter of some kind of youthful pessimism by some leftists, this is a matter of racial hatred.

Consider this related article from another left-wing outlet, The Daily Beast: The Grammys Diversity Triumph: No White Guys in Album of the Year!

A diversity "triumph" indeed.

But it doesn't. My employer won't fire me for voting.
 
2017 has been a great year.

Really? How? You're going to pay lower taxes next year?
I buy insurance on the individual healthcare market. Whatever minor and temporary tax cuts I'll benefit from will probably be offset by higher healthcare costs.

Furthermore disinvestment both financially and politically in science will decrease the amount of cool tech r&d i get to do. I'd rather work on curing paralysis or solar infrastructure instead of smart bombs.

You pick the weirdest stuff to get all Fourteen Words over, y'know that?
 
Conscience is the true cause of misery. Abandon false morality and embrace the glory of the collective.

I've talked to so many people who think that the fact Taylor Swift isn't as popular as Beyonce as proof of white genocide and view her as their, like, Aryan princess. You know it's amazing the excuses losers will find for feeling special.
 
Good lord, the edgelord ranting continues.
 
. You know it's amazing the excuses losers will find for feeling special.
Like when people whine about wage differences or incarceration rate differences based on race? Bunch of losers :mischief:

Seriously, you and Civver have a lot in common.

Isn't Swift genderfluid, or some thing, thought? Don't you get some spare oppression points from that? What would it take to push the narrative that the Jezebel article is in fact transphobic? A microaggression on Swift's fluid genderfluid identity?
