"that one action" lol
She is basically the worst case of private jet usage and leading the list of such individuals, while somehow advocating for the environment.
This is just ridiculous.
And she is trying to fuck that guy up for "stalking" and "harassment", just for showing public data.
On top, for whatever reason, she had 2 private jets flying around until now. Seems like she sold one this month.
I'm don't want to defend her use of a private her, but it seems like a ridiculous puritan test if that this makes her a bad human.
Just such an incredibly weird statement to make that Taylor Swift of all people is the threshold for finding any good in the world, and if she's not it then no one is.
This is not at all what I said. I said the metric used here to paint Taylor Swift as a bad person requires a level of pureness that would mean pretty much everyone is a bad person.
I have no idea whether she is a good perspn, but I do know that "she flies in a private jet and her lawyers sued someone because they claim it is a threat to her safety... So she's a bad person!" Is a terrible argument.
I think you hit the nail on the head.
We all suck, there's no good in humans. Maybe we should stop looking at humans, dogs might be a good place to start after all the comments I've heard about us not deserving them.
Where we disagree is that I don't think all humans are bad. We all do sucky things from time to time; no one is pure. Additionally it's often hard to see why someone might do something if you don't share the same experiences, so it might seem evil to you.
What I see happening here is that people want to hate her because she's rich, and by golly anything they can latch onto to confirm that desire to be true will be trotted out.
But we certainly agree dogs are pimp.
