    This might be an unpopular opinion but…

    Fuck Taylor Swift. I’m so tired of seeing her everywhere.

        It isn’t as popular as it should be. Hollow pop culture is a disease. Especially when weird pop culture cult figures shovel their cult followers into genocidal/imperial politics with political endorsements, that’s the one that really gets me. People die.

          TL;DR Letting celebrities of any stature dictate your direction in life/morals is fucking weird.

          I’m a T-Swizzle fan. Her song lyrics “Anti-Hero” legit spoke to me on a weirdly personal level.

          I still think that the worship of her is bizarre. When she publicly endorsed Biden/Harris, it was cool in a “Oh hey, this person that I like is on the correct side of history” kinda way. But the people who suddenly registered to vote because of it? That gave me a really weird/gross feeling.

          Pretty much anyone who makes large (possibly life altering) decisions based off what a celebrity does gives me SUCH weird vibes. Its, for lack of a better word, cult-adjacent. And that phenomenon is a small part of why I’m so staunchly pro-public education.
