That's not simping for billionaires, I'm defending what's right. Why would her wealth even bother you? If she didn't steal from you, you should mind your business. Regular people like you and me made her rich. You're crying billionaires are bad. But there is a nuance.

For me it matters how you made your money. And surprise, Taylor Swift made her money only from her music. She didn't steal from anyone. Are you mad because she is so damn successful? That's your problem.

Believing billionaires shouldn’t exist full stop and believe if you are one you care about money first and foremost does not mean I’m mad about Taylor Swift, it means I think she’s a bad person and I think you’re a clown for defending her.

I mean this in good faith but can we lay out the reasons shes bad. I understand she makes pretty mediocre stuff but as far as i can tell she just resells the same shit and people keep buying it. Its not akin to underpaying or exploiting labour which is the usual thing. However I am also severely mentally injured due to a mind phreaking incident last year.

Yeah for sure, in my opinion, (and this is fully my opinion, I never once said her being bad is a fact) the gap billion being a successful multimillionaire superstar and billionaire is so massive that to achieve it you have to love and focus on money more than anything else in life. And I fully believe if you love money first, you’re an awful person. I’m not religious but “the love of money is the root of all evil” is like the most poignant shit ever.

I’m not even going to go into all the airplane stuff and how awful that is for the environment or preying on kids with multiple variants and stuff, because that just run of the mill advertising/media stuff, I’m just talking the billionaire level thing. That’s enough for me.
