Everyone should really read ALL of this image. The headline obviously resonates with a ton of people, but there is a bigger message here that people need to engage with.
I don’t know if this is OC from the author or not, but this is genuinely brilliant.

No! People need to get their heads out of their ass and focus on what is important.
It is right and just to hate on people who only speak up when the topic is useless drivel. They should be ashamed of their inaction and their complacency is disgusting.
I think we're at a point where we can all agree that having interests beyond what's serious and exigent is healthy and reasonable. Now we need to get past the idea that not liking something that's popular (like sports and entertainment) makes you better than people who do. It doesn't make you better.
People who like Taylor and Travis and want them to do well are not automatically complacent in other areas of their lives. They don't have their heads up their asses for this reason. They have nothing to be ashamed of, talking about topics that, in your opinion, are useless drivel. Especially here, on the internet.

Except the circuses AREN'T cheap anymore either, what with the likes of Ticketmaster/Live Nation making it so a concert ticket costs as much as a car and the NFL's only goal being to maximize the profits of the team owners.
Just to use the examples directly related to the billionaire and multimillionaire depicted.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah, you're right. I'm talking more about the clown shows in the news and political systems. Although a netflix subscription or a phone plan is a lot cheaper than a mortgage, and the boomers love to say that the computers and internet are why we can't have houses.
Watching this idiot lipsync after flying in to a concert you paid a month's wage for is a fucking insult.

I’m 44 and this is actually stone cold sober reality but have a day friend.

I'm marginally happy that anyone anywhere is in love. Cool beans.
Beyond that, I'd rather see people I know have happy and healthy lives. FSM knows they deserve it just as much as these two.
R’amen to that!

My grievances come from the fact that there’s no counterweight. Posting this type of thing is not inherently bad, but it’s all these people ever post.
I agree, people can enjoy things I don’t enjoy! But by exclusively posting vapid content, they are diluting the content pool and drowning out what is important.
Your inaction is your admission of acceptance.

I’m annoyed by celebrity culture, but geezus anti-celebrity culture can be just as insufferable.
Just tune it out people.Just tune it out people.
I only ever seem to hear about Taylor Swift via memes that tell me not to care about Taylor Swift.

Yes but did you hear about Cracker Barrel??

I really don't think you're being fair. I was in chanology in Clearwater, Arab Spring in Rabat, the second Penguin Revolution in Santiago de Chile, and countless major demonstrations in support of worker rights and LGBT community issues all over the world. When I come on the internet (as I've done since 1994), I don't want to endlessly talk about politics with the normies here. I want to talk about normie topics like cooking, cats, sports, and Taylor Swift. I save my outrage for real world actions.
According to you, I'm practicing an attitude of acceptance with regard to the state of the world because that's all you see and hear from me. What do you think that says about your worldview and your outlook on people?

wrote last edited by [email protected]You’re right, it is unfair of me to write these people off. Slacktivism is no substitute for real activism.
It’s just disheartening, weird, and scary seeing everyone repost the same instagram post like little worker bees.
And personally, I don’t think these people are doing anything behind the scenes to push for change. I suppose I’m just cynical.

Let people be happy about something. this is not helping anyone.

if there is ONE person on the planet who would by popular vote be allowed to have a private jet, it's TayTay.

Gossip was and is a part of human nature, denying it makes no friends for your cause. Don't call it bullshit, just because you don't care.
If you want to DO ACTUAL GOOD:
put a story of palestinian/israleli couple on the fake front page.
Highlight the out of control Israel government with a story that shows protests in israel.
Be FOR something instead of AGAINST something.

I dunno man. You're already supposed to get to the airport 2 hours early.
Can you imagine the absolute clusterfuck if you were in the security line at the same time as Taylor Swift?

You can argue they are for the end of worthless celebrity worship. Which is something I stand with

It's hilarious. Taylor Swift posts have to be the easiest rage/engagement bait for sports accounts that have ever existed.
