As many as one-third of the general public may experience celebrity worship on a borderline pathological level. source

Just look at all this other stuff - it will make you feel better about the conflagration outside your door
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.

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.
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.

thats just the business of the league not everybody is good enough to make a team and nobody likes cutting players

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

yeah but what i said extend to everything women and especially young women and girls like.

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 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.

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.
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.

I believe that the best for billionaires is to be relieved of the morally corrupting influence of their wealth, and I do wish that for them.
Yep, my thoughts exactly. Imagine if Swift had a crisis of conscience and decided to do good with all her money instead of being a scummy resource hoarder.

relatability factor because of songs?
Ok that would be the part I understand, I am asking about the part I don't.

Seems like I see more memes about Taylor swift using jets then other celebrities. They're all equally shit though.
-
distraction of the masses from politics, a tale as old as time. people are too invested in sports/celebreties often are very ignorant of the policies/politics around them, and they dont realize this just a distraction from Class issues.
Okay, can you explain why bread is $4 a loaf then?

better Taylor than a politician.
Better Carl Sagan than a pop singer.

I only know this because he's from my area and still does charity work in the area, Travis Kelce. Honestly I couldn't care less about celebrity lives, but from what I've seen in local press he does seem to be a good guy.

"Wake up sheeple!"
"OK cool youre right I see now, I understand. What are we gonna do about it?"
"They've played you for fools! WAKE UP SEE WHATS HAPPENING"
"Yeah I see its awful. How can we help?"
"You're a pawn in their game WAKE UP"
"Fuck it gonna go have a wank"

That they fired Brad's wife after eleven years of service?
Never forget. Never forgive.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah true, I guess I meant more before this recent uptick in memes/criticism. I don't expect celebrity musicians to be paragons of virtue or fight every political battle for justice but I do expect...... something? Like a little bit? Have a spine maybe?
I mean she can do whatever she wants, but that is the point right, she can do whatever she wants she is an unbelievably rich white lady who politicians and other powerful figures can't touch without risking MASSIVE blowback in public opinion that money and distraction won't be able to make go away.
