YES!
i wish there was a 100% react because yup it gives me the exact same vibes. i desperately wish others would interrogate themselves when they start asking questions like that

its like theory applied 1:1 with reality, which isn't how theory is suppose to be "used". its really meant to open up discussions not completely shut them down

this sorta thing is why i do not like tumblr. every time i tried it out i just kept finding communities of people who base their whole moral stance around how someone identifies and what they were born with or without. and i don't really think thats how you should view another human

no rant away! honestly there was stuff i didn't know because i'm really not in the loop with ts stuff. she has always given me the ick personally and her soros comment gave fuel to bigots who were harassing peeps i knew back when it happened (only reason i even know about it)

any particular place and time. questioning or scrutinizing someone's identity isn't going to reveal to you what they've been through. thats flattening how oppression works

the jewish question is fucking me up the most tbh. i don't talk about it so my not faulting anyone but like i had family in concentration camps, there have been antisemitic attacks on my family in modern day. there are others like me and you can't know who does or does not have history in

its wild how i didn't even say anything mean and im getting mocking replies or being implied to not care about real world bigotry. i think if your defense of a celebrity makes you start mocking strangers online who aren't even being hateful you might have something parasocial going on

assets are gained by the spending and investing of money. you can't be worth a billion dollars if you don't have the capital to be worth that much. the other part of net worth is liability, which effects it negatively. so to have a billion in net worth after taking out liability is huge

i think maybe its actually you who doesn't understand? like do you think having a net worth in the billions is something that anyone can just go an do? do you think having a billion in assets is achievable by people who aren't making fuck you kind of money?

to have a nuanced conversation that addresses all points and opinions with care. i initially had more written but deleted a bunch because i thought it was a tad over explain-y but maybe i should have left it

i didn't have issue with the original post. i wanted to correct the idea that she wasn't a billionaire and that she has made a few "choice" statements in her life that aren't damning to her as a person but do colour some people's opinions about her. there are 300 characters in a post its hard

its awful people are generating sexual harassment images and i do think they should be stopped but i realistically know that making an account of twitter to argue with those people isn't going to do much of anything other than make my day bad.
sorry for the multi-part reply i know its a lot to read

positively about the person or whatever is getting the hate. i can tell you from my searches i have learned that swift wrote a heart warming song about her mom with beautiful lyrics, and she wrote a pretty funny song about her bf that people are grooving too, on the radio i heard a fan cry with joy

its welcomed there so there so its going to feel like there is a lot of it. we all know twitter is full of the worst of the worst and being done with the site is not stepping away from activism or ignoring any injustices going on in the world.
a great way to combat all the bad shit is to talk

i dont think everyone is okay with rape culture when they use it on her. i think most people find that deplorable and awful, i know i do. its not healthy to keep engaging with it if its really stressing you out and there are no tools to protect you from that on twitter

elio 🍒 @eliomonroe.bsky.social · 1d

thats not what i said at all?
logging off of twitter and deactivating your account is not closing your eyes in the face of bigotry, its getting out of a den of hate

1

elio 🍒 @eliomonroe.bsky.social · 1d

you don't have to see the hate if you don't go on twitter

elio 🍒 @eliomonroe.bsky.social · 1d

going onto twitter is like going onto the nazi boards of 4chan. i think it would probably be better if people didn't go on that site since its full of hateful shit, most of which is made to get reactions out of people. but like outside i have heard nothing but praise for t swift and her music

elio 🍒 @eliomonroe.bsky.social · 1d

this is so easily searchable and honestly i think i'll just part ways at this point. and just a heads up its deeply insensitive to ask for someone's religion or ethnicity. like thats not a yes or no answer for everyone and its personal information

she has used the whole "oh the soros and shameless greed" in order to gain sympathy from her fans. thats not something that happens on accident, its a pretty well known dog whistle at this point

1

elio 🍒 @eliomonroe.bsky.social · 1d

it seems her new album is doing incredibly well as its already sold over 3 million copies and is breaking records so i dont really think she needs to be defended in anyway. like no amount of hate online can do anything to her at this point as she is a billionaire

1

elio 🍒 @eliomonroe.bsky.social · 1d

also im wondering what kind of hate she is getting right now? from my personal pov i havent seen any hate, just people saying there are haters. top results searching her are overwhelmingly postive. articles with headers about haters dont state exactly what the hate even is or where its coming from

1. she is a billionaire
businessoutstanders.com/net-worth/ta...
2. idk if nazi, tho she has used antisemitic dog whistles in the past. but she is absolutely a capitalist and so she will use the tools of capitalism to keep growing her wealth. misogyny and white supremacy are among those tools.
