Jay07 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 1 hour ago, Jjang said: millions of people went to the streets. millions of people wrote to theirs representatives. I don’t think these two forms of protests block each other. you can do both. Secondly, it’s absurd to expect twitter stans who have been ranting about everything and anything on their twitter to suddenly leave twitter and the platforms they possibly have thousands of followers on and go fight people in the streets about it. What an absurd thing to tell someone to do. It’s like me asking you to drop ATRL and only discuss whatever you want to discuss here in real life. what? Online protests work. It applies pressure. There have been tons of public figures who were pressured into issuing a statement - which means the pressure is there. If Taylor (or any other fan base) fans want to try to do the same then what the hell is wrong with that? What will pressuring Taylor into issuing a statement (which she will never do, as anyone who has the vaguest familiarity with her her as a public figure knows) achieve? What does whining on Twitter about a celebrity possibly achieve other than get likes and make the user appear as if they're doing something when they're actually doing nothing? If things truly are as dire as you claim, surely it would be reason enough to drop the phone and actually do something other than calling out Taylor Swift? Unless it's all performative and more about the user's profile online than any real, tangible action. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. 4
Sannie Posted January 30 Posted January 30 The leftist's world view is so ******* funny. They do not actually care about Palestine if they are bothered by a celebrity not saying something. We are at the point where everyone knows what is going on and has made their stance clear; there is no longer a need to "spread the word". This is just a way to virtue signal and try to "cancel" people for not falling in line. 12 1 1

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. the more attention this issue gets, the better for Palestinians. A statement from Taylor would make big news globally because she’s an unprecedentedly impactful figure in Pop culture. Just to demonstrate how moot this argument is - what did writing for your officials achieve? what did protesting achieve? nothing practical so far. not even close to a ceasefire. Does that mean we should quit? Attention and public discourse is a political asset for oppressed groups of people. 7

Congratulations, sadly that did absolutely nothing to stop the ongoing genocide on both sides. Has Beyoncé ever said anything about this? Cause at least Taylor's been seen attending Pro-Palestine events, what has Beyoncé done on the subject? What has Rihanna done ever since that "revolutionary" tweet? Edited January 30 by Trainwreck 2

Windy Day Posted January 30 Posted January 30 i always forget that this forum is full of balding 35 year old white gays since i come on here only once in a while but these kind of threads are always a reminder of that 1 6
Cameltoe Chariot Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Taylor Swift fans simp for their fave the same way Elon Musk's fanboys simp for him, and this thread proves it. Swifties defend and excuse every little thing she gets criticism for, as if she's paying their bills and will close their accounts if they turn against her. It's insane. It's literally the exact same thing, but Taylor gets a pass because she serves white softness. Cheering on billionaires and denying any responsibility they have with their level of unimaginable wealth and power is so f*cking weird 3 2

You’re the one in here spewing your racist white=evil ideology, so idk why you act shocked when people have a problem with that? Anyways putting your ass on ignore 1
ChrisTheLoner Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Back on topic, I don’t think she should have to be obligated to say anything and the terminally online twitter trolls/communists aren’t gonna change that.

Her government is also the #1 sponsor and enabler of the terror organization committing the genocide she's being pressured to speak up about. I don't even like Taylor Swift but I think it's pretty obvious why she's keeping her mouth shut. Let's also not pretend the US doesn't have a history of assassinating high profile dissenters or allowing 3rd parties to do it for them. Edited January 30 by Sheep
JawBreaker Posted January 30 Posted January 30 The last tweet is the most confusing. Are there even other dem candidates besides Biden? No one is gonna vote for the others but him. So if they dont want Biden as president then I guess they'll vote for Republicans?
305 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 They’re going to keep waiting. Twitter is full of people like this that don’t think things through. Yes she is probably the most powerful person on earth but doing something like this will change the way her career and persona are viewed publicly which can cause irreparable damage to her career. 1
ImpressMeMuch Posted January 30 Posted January 30 did they not learn their listen to not ask taylor to touch politics after this?? 3
Machete Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Twitter spent all of last year arguing on how Messi and Ronaldo are eons bigger than Taylor Swift. And a one place that statement is definitely true is in the Middle East. Yet not once have I seen anyone plead for them to speak out on Palestine. The performative nonsense of these "activists" needs to stop. 1

She probably spends millions each year on security. Excuses, excuses.
