ha, you werent wrong. i just pointed out she worked hard, and made some non-stupid financial decisions and its like a poked a bees nest of billionaire-hate (which i actuallly understand). but god fobid people have a conversation about a humans talent.

Riderzz,

Idk, she goes against right wing and is appluaded on lemmy if you search her name here.

she’s financially smart. She’s got a nice, built diverse portfolio. I don’t understand as an individual, its smart to be rich in this capital society 🤷‍♂️

She didn’t build shit. She paid someone else to build a portfolio that doesn’t outperform the market, same as every billionaire.

I won’t say she isn’t smart, but I will say she can go to a work camp with the rest of them.

Ilovethebomb,

Yep, there’s the Lemmy we all know and love

Riderzz,

🫢

surewhynotlem,

She doesn’t go against the right wing. She’s very strategic about being apolitical. Republicans love her music. She loves their money.

She also loves pussy, but she won’t say that bluntly lest she lose half her fans.

She also loves pussy

don’t tell me you’re one of those people who still insists taylor swift is gay after she explicitly said she’s not…

Lol. I can’t stand Taylor Swift at all. She literally makes the blandest pop music imaginable for generic women with no personality. I’ll take björk any day over Taylor swift

WhiteOakBayou,

That’s an apple and oranges comparison. I don’t think Taylor swift is aspiring to be bjorkin any way

Imgonnatrythis,

I dunno. It’s bland but anything that appeals to a mass pop audience has to be a little. At least there is some talent. There is so much worse out there in the pop mainstream. I can easily just ignore this, but it’s hard for me not to feel like music itself is betrayed somehow when I hear something like Katy Perry or Pitbull

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I don’t agree with your take because of how it seems to imply “reverse sexism,” which is odd. If anything, it’s harder to be a woman.

But I do know celebrity culture is weird, and you’ll never talk sense into people who worship a particular celebrity. You’ve got to think of them as meth addicts or something – you can’t just antagonize them because they’ll lash out or shut down.

Riderzz,

Nothing about sex. More to do with how billionaire accepted and others aren’t bc of their political takes.

So i can say left-wing stuff and claim to be a socialist while take actions that prob go against that.

Thats the issue. Virtue signalling. Then i can also claim to be this while build a ton-load of wealth and convince everyone to stay poor.

superduperenigma,

Nothing about sex.

Your post explicitly says Lemmy users would react as pictured because they only hate male billionaires.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I don’t know what to tell you. See my comment about celebrity worship.

My personal heroes are all family and neighbors. I don’t worship no celebrities.

she came from wealth, yes, but she is also incredibly smart. this person has made a lot of decisions their peers have absolutely failed on, including this kind of investment.

she comes from old money, and they must have taught her well. this is not a trust fund kiddie sittin on their laurels, this is a person who leveraged all the resources made available and worked hard to get what she wanted.

e: hate her music, just followed some transaction rabbit holes like the nft bullshit

Riderzz,

Generational wealth = leverage and hard work. Got it 👍. Literally applies to every other rich person such as elon musk and his ideas of tesla and mars.

I agree that she is smart. Never said she wasn’t, some plenty other billionaires that aren’t corrupt also smart.

Dude fuck off. OP is regarded too but you’re just as bad if you don’t know that wealth creates wealth. It’s literally easier for someone born in Taylor Swift’s position to get richer than it would be for them to get poorer.

Riderzz,

Thank you. I understand you also disagree with me. Thats alright but I hope someone can understand me 👍

ha, ok buddy. calm down. it will be o.k. everything is not on fire.

plenty of very rich people have made very poor decisions and paid for it. plenty of rich people have gone through very good schooling and come out useless lumps of air-wasteing flesh.

dont get yourself all worked up because i pointed out one little rich girl didnt make bad decisions, mmmm'kay?

Riderzz, (edited )

Your the same individual that shits on other rich people like musk, jeff.

Your talking about stupid rich kids who have no idea how money works and then become broke.

You see just like any other celeb, famous person, millionaire. They’re all the same. They work hard and smart. Thats it. The issue on this platform is the hypocrisy.

The fact that you think this shows how unconscious you are. The simple act of hoarding wealth, even passively (which doesn’t even apply to Landlord Swift), is in itself an act of violence. If you don’t agree with this then please go back to whatever popheads echochamber you hide in.

A person like Taylor Swift isn’t sitting down on Excel at the end of every month trying to put together a budget to make it through the next 4 weeks. It’s a completely automated process for her to amass more wealth, which, in a vacuum economy, means less for the 99% and more for her.

1/10th of her net worth is more money than a whole family could spend in a lifetime. Please stop defending her and her ilk or saying that any of her wealth came from education or smart investments.

ChicoSuave,

Taylor Swift is tolerated because she has a huge swath of followers and uses her platform to say center/left common sense things like “stay hydrated” and “take care to not get sick”. The right hates her because she is both successful and doesn’t follow their messaging guidelines for right wing Richie’s, which they thought she was. Anyone that doesn’t like her for her politics usually starts out by saying she was good when she sang country, like a dog whistle for right wingers.

The left doesn’t like her because her messaging for climate change and her personal actions don’t mesh. Her private jet use puts her in a very lonely company of highest polluting people on the planet. She can be better but the left is thrilled she isn’t a right wing sociopath getting paid to say hurtful things.

Riderzz,

Virtue signalling basically 👍

citrusface,

We hate realtors? Since when?

Its a real love the art hate the artist. 1989 and Reputation are certified bangers imo. Being a Billionaire means she is hoarding wealth that could help lift tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands out of poverty but chooses not to.
