You know how they say that individual changes are really nothing compared to what the corporations are doing? In scale, it even applies to her. That's how ridiculous corporations are.

I'm pretty sure her brand would count as a corporation.
It does, just read the other day she had like 90 semis to drive around and setup
Yeah, but plenty of corporations are two people in a garage. Seems they're talking about large transnational corps.
A tinny tiny one maybe.
Hey company, here is a process that will heavily reduce or eliminate CO2 emissions, but you'll make slightly less money.
Company: Nah, fuck that.
I still don't know if that is a troll meme or if people seriously don't know the risks of co2 emissions.
Most people do, and conservative politicians definitely do. But they don't want to say anything that will effect the oil industry in a negative way.
They bitched about taylor swift CO2 emissions, but otherwise never say CO2 emissions are bad. CO2 is bad, CO2 is good, they can't explain that. Goose angry!
What's the point of being a billionaire if you can't even destroy the environment?
And be rich enough to buy a whole new environment. With blackjack and hookers
What’s all the hate of Taylor Swift is about? Did I miss something?
Conservatives think that
checks notes
Taylor Swift has rigged the Super Bowl in favor of Kansas City and is going to use that event to endorse Joe Biden.
No I'm not kidding.
At this point you can assume that most everything you'll hear about her over the next six months will be conservative astroturfing.
Swift does own a private jet. So naturally everyone who five minutes ago didn't give half a shit about the environment is going to use that as a cudgel regarding the environment. They're safe to ignore.
No, the NFL rigged the superbowl. It's the Pentagon that manipulated the relationship with the football player who will win the rigged superbowl which will elevate Taylor Swift on a national platform (which she previously did not have) to endorse Joe Biden
I'm glad the pentagon is doing something to protect the country. I hope it's enough.
I love the tswizzle is a psyop mess. Best nonsense fox news has come up with.
She had a spurt of extensive jet use and she said she loaned it to friends so each trip wasn't her.
NFL nonsense is wild tho.
The jet thing is older than this thing
Kremlin smear campaign designed to discourage celebrities from supporting Joe Biden's campaign since he's the key opponent of their asset: Donald Trump.
I actually only have a problem with her polluting issues and for being a billionaire people like. I'm glad she's making some of her fans pay attention to politics, but that doesn't make her infallible.
Or maybe actual leftists have grievances with billionaires? You know, something that they've done for a few hundred years?
Which is why said "leftists" targeted Al Gore and Taylor Swift. Because they are the worst of the bunch!
Even Fox News cares about Taylor Swift's carbon emissions!
Haters gonna hate. Just shake it off.
It's probably trolling to see how many idiots follow along. I don't care for her music and her fans are annoying, but I don't listen to her music or hang out with her fans so idgaf, and even if I did hang out with them they're not required to be in lockstep with what I like to be a friend. Pointless and seemingly artificial dividing lines. 🤷
Because they don't like Independent Women.
Guys. Have you looked at my post history? I don't why so many of you think this is a Conservative smear of Taylor when I constantly post about capitalism and its flaws. Taylor swift is the embodiment of one percent wealth trickling upwards into a mediocre career.
There is an argument to be made that pointing to individual responsibility or scapegoating of individuals as hypocrites works as propaganda against doing something about climate change.
Climate change adaptation needs far reaching systemic changes. You'd need to make a plan, a partially planned economy, redesign cities and neighborhoods, tear down and build up factories, redistribute wealth and land all sorts of things. So one way to divert from that is to make people believe it's up to the individual. Something like a tracker to track your individual CO2 budget. Or pointing to someone using airplanes to go to a climate conference. Or taylor swift jet setting around the world. Realistically there are no good alternatives except to live the life of a recluse (The Good Place has a funny story arc about this).
So the logic here would be: Making people believe Taylor Swift is the real problem leads to people not thinking about the near impossible changes we would need to make.
Of course, we're not going to make any changes anyway so shitpost away :D
PS: It would be interesting to know how much CO2 it is if you distribute it to the visitors of her concerts instead - instead of increasing her CO2 budget, like any product it should increase the CO2 budget of the end consumer.
Still not as bad as the 1 zillion fans that drive to each of her shows yo.
You don't have to be a conservatwat to see that this is a shitty practice. I don't know OP's history, but we can all agree that private jets are bullshit for the env.
Come on, shes the best chance we have for world peace... apparently
She's a billionaire now. Peace was never an option.
Sorry, i meant whirled peas
So apparently this is because she basically uses her jet as an uber for folks who are rich enough to fly on a private jet but not enough to own one. So her jet is polluting a bunch but she's not on it for a lot of it.
I'm so proud of this community
