She’s the target of memes because just recently she tried to shut down the guy who tracks her jet. Streisand effect. Nobody was talking shit about her jets(well a lot) until she screamed to the world leave my jet alone.

Didn’t she get put under the super microscope after she told her followers to register to vote? That got the Fox news tribe to do their double standard selective outrage thing and now all of a sudden republicans care about fossil fuels and emissions.

She did that years ago. Like, five years ago. These memes are a response to her suing the kid

It was. I was saying that’s what turned their microscope on her.

I love how it’s “the evil Republicans” doing all of this. Plenty of us are Democrats who think Taylor is incredibly hypocritical for not practicing exactly what she preaches. And least you forget, she’s a literal billionaire. That “1%” we point to as the worst contributors. And oh look, there she is, being just like the people she vilifies.

She’s a hypocrite plain and simple and the facade is starting to finally break. Her entire persona is manufactured by teams of publicists. She’s no different that the other billionaires, but she has you convinced she’s your best buddy.

And I think this is genocidal propaganda and misogyny drafted by FOX news. Yeah that’s grossly exaggerated and over the top, but hear me out:

First of all she’s not very political. At least not as far as I can tell, her opinions are rather mild basic human decency level stuff, but I don’t know much about her. This to your charge that she “preaches”.

Second, society being what it is you CAN’T practice what you believe, because our economy is build a certain way. She can’t do her job without a private jet, so even though there is some valid criticism there you’d also have to put the emissions her business use creates on the concert goers or consumers. It goes on their CO2 budget no hers. She even bought CO2 offsets which are BS of course.

Third, she’s being singled out, possibly because she’s supposed to be this white madonna. It’s apparently true that she uses her jet for private and “frivolous” purposes. But with all the jet setting going on, it’s at least suspicious that people want her to be the symbol of all evil. Some very clever sociopaths crafted this strategy because she’s the perfect symbol for it.

Lastly, even if all the criticism of her was justified it’s a distraction from the monumental and systemic issues preventing any meaningful action on climate change: Land reform, veganism, election reform, wealth redistribution, redesigning how we live and work, patents preventing adoption of improvements, planned vs free economy. Those are topics that nobody wants you to talk about. So instead it’s advantageous to blame her.

Afaik this all started with FOX news bashing her jet and the joke was “why is CO2 bad FOX news?”. But it WORKED!!! They have successfully disseminated a conspiracy theory that 20% of voters believe now and memes like this are trending.

Sorry about the rant, I really don’t mean to accuse anyone seriously of this, but this is the PR mechanisms I see working behind this stuff.

She outputs more emissions by nearly double compared to the second place

Isn’t that just because she had two jets?

I seem to remember a similar list a while back, and they got rented out a lot. I can’t think of many other reasons to have two of the fucking things.

I’d be surprised if a lot of private jet owners don’t rent them out tbh. They’re not cheap, and even if you’re a super duper important rich cunt, how often do you really need to use them?

Then… why doesn’t she rent in the first place? Why is she so important she needs TWO? That’s the EXACT hypocrisy being pointed out.
