I hate how celebrities are deified. I will always say that if Taylor Swift said communism good we'd have full communism the following week.
She'd be forced one way or another to "correct" her previous statements, you don't get to be a celebrity if you don't say what the system wants people to think
remember the Dixie Chicks #gonebutnotforgotten lol
They’re just The Chicks now but still cool as hell. Not ready to make nice slaps.
I don’t think anyone has that level of power over her to be honest. Like okay, someone tells her to “correct” those statements. Instead she tells her fans she was told to do this, and that they must take up arms to protect the United Socialist Swiftist States of America
The Vissarionovich of that revolution would name themself Swiftin. Their name will scare liberals for decades after their death.
No offense, but even the Great Man Theory is not this naive.
Do you seriously believe that an entrenched system propped up by an intricate network of institutions that serve capital can be toppled by a single celebrity?
Yeah, but have you seen Swifties? God damn...
I think they were exaggerating
I think you underestimate the power of teen girl fandoms
maybe one celebrity and her peoples' army
Yes, we think a pop star billionaire will topple capitalism. Any other questions?
You underestimate the raw power of a girlboss
