Just look at all this other stuff - it will make you feel better about the conflagration outside your door
look how much i don't care guys, i made a monument to the things i don't care about.
not caring about things is not a virtue. you want people to care about something else you should work on that messaging. "you're stupid to care about this" is reddit atheist coded bullshit that has never worked in the history of mankind.

It was in my Anthropology book, I will have to go dig around for it. I tried a Google search but all I could get was crap.
It's just one of those things that sounds sorta believable and has a feel good message but a lot of those are actually bunk

Hi sorry is this sarcasm as in you're making light of how Taylor is missing the guy in the photo or are you being genuine
yeah im joking

Imo it is fucking stupid to care about this stuff though. Celebrity worship is a cancer. Obsessing about the love lives of total strangers because they're famous is not only pointless but also destructive.

It has to be a solution that benefits both parties, but I also recognize that one party is giving up something tangible.
They have to be compensated in some real way. That is why I propose make a wish for the ultra wealthy. We pick an obscenely rich person, take 99% of what they own, and give them the one thing money can't buy. A real wish that can be anything humans can reasonably provide.
The problem is that the money comes with power. They already get something just by owning it.
If a billionaire asks you to be their partner for life and to love them, as the one thing that money can't buy, would you?
I think if people create a community that billionaires want to join in exchange for their money, wouldn't that community already be so thriving that they don't need the money? *
And if the community needs the money, what could offload the guilt that comes with the money? The community would become the billionaire.
* strange that people don't try to do that, even without money.

i don't care about it but i also find the air of superiority from people who boast about not caring about this to be worse than actually caring about it. everyone cares about stupid shit. people just talk about this because it's more demographically aligned with women. there's disproportionate hate towards things women tend to like because we're taught from childhood that it's uncool.
guarantee most of the people shitting on it here either mald about some ladder they're unhealthily trying to climb, or have a pokemon card collection, or treat that one movie they found to be super cool as their bible or some shit.
let people enjoy what they like. don't act you only care about the environment and world hunger.

No, I remember reading it. There is a lot of niche knowledge you cannot find on the Internet easily.
There are a lot of African traditions around gift giving (like potlatch) and redistribution of wealth as well as concepts of collective wealth (Ubuntu). Here is an article that talks about it, but does not mention the specific tribe I was thinking about.

https://www.sociostudies.org/journal/articles/3600660/With the article being rather long, does it mention the particular tradition talked about here? I don't doubt you've read it, I am just skeptical if it is a real tradition. And it's hard to gauge that with no info

It would have to be something society is willing to do (make the wish happen). Obviously what I said was slightly in jest, but I am just trying to think outside the paradigm we seem to be stuck in.
I like your idea of community absorbing the billionaire if they were willing. Yes, they would have to be pretty well off to begin with, but if they did then everyone would get the benefit instead of a minority. Even well off communities could be improved with infrastructure upgrades or other things that would collectively benefit everyone.
You bring an interesting point of the guilt of money and transferring that guilt to the community. I think this might be the rational needed to create a tradition like this. Accumulation of money should be seen as a negative thing and we should have mechanisms to take care of it.

Why does Taylor Swift get such a massive pass from everybody in terms of scrutiny?

What I find hilariously, self-centered and tone deaf, funny is they announced the engagement on a day when across the NFL players were getting cut and losing their jobs across the league on cut down day.
40 of Kelsy's team mates lost their jobs on that day. But I suppose overshadowing that got the NFL more clicks and eyeballs.

because society pushes women to like these things under social pressure. it's kind of gross. there's nothing wrong with things women like, but this is manufactured. But hey, better than MAGA's worshipping drump.

If they've spent their whole existence on a sports career lottery ticket so they could be rich and famous and live better than us commoners, that was their choice. I'll save my sympathy for people who get laid off from jobs other than sports and entertainment jobs that are only about clicks and eyeballs in the first place.

It does talk about leaders not owning their wealth as it was owned collectively by the tribe. No, it does not mention this specific tribe. I can't find my anthro book either.
I could have remembered it wrong. I spent some more time poking around the Internet this morning about chiefdoms. I still couldn't find the specific tribe, but I learned some other interesting things.
There does seem to be some romanticizing small groups and the concept of tribal communism. So there is definitely something to support your skepticism.

wrote last edited by [email protected]It’s possible to not give a fuck about Taylor Swift, but still care about her and her fellow billionaires outright destroying the world while glitzy magazines treat them as main characters in a soap opera, just going about their glamorous exploits and intrigue. It is fucking stupid to celebrate Taylor Swift’s anything, for as long as she remains a prime example of everything that is going wrong in the world: massive hoarding of wealth in a winner takes all economy obsessed with intangible assets (notably brands and song rights), excessive personal consumption and burning of fossil fuels, hyper commercialized culture mostly void of artistic expression.
I don’t mind people that like her songs, but I’m fairly certain Swifties should be designated a death cult.
