      to reiterate: i’m not alone :) my positions mirror a ton of other swifties’ (obviously not all, but you do what you can)—they just have limited representation on lemmy due to gender and vibes

        Why keep giving her attention? Why label yourself as a “Swiftie”? Why continue to consume her media? Are there no other artists?

          once you’re a part of a cult of personality, it’s hard enough to become self aware of the fact, let alone to break free.

          Why do you pay for gas? The world is ending due to fossil fuels.

          If you do, why do you buy bottled water or cheap supermarket chocolate? Communities are being deprived and destroyed by companies like Nestle.

          If you do, why do you own a laptop/phone? When it breaks, why do you plan to get a new one? That technology was developed off the backs of child labor.

          If you pay for Spotify or similar, do you realize that those platforms often exploit and underpay the very artists you enjoy, ethical artists or not?

          If you’re an American who pays taxes, some of that money has gone to fund a genocide and decades of warmongering. Maybe you should give up paying taxes…

          Much to think about! 🙂
