HuffPost journalist drags Taylor to filth for her performative white feminism

Must read from a Swiftie giving up the label over Tay's latest bullshit

Her remix of "Karma" with Bronx rapper Ice Spice reeks of damage control and exploitative PR strategy. https://t.co/Y9znMq9HmZ

Personally I've seen a not insignificant number of them with the same sentiments on the subreddit. I know her ( Read more... )

See, this is why I don’t read.

This tweet makes no sense to me and now I know it makes no sense to me, when I could’ve continued being dumb and unaware.

Lol, but also Hannah Arendt is worth reading. She's an incredible philosopher and her breakdown of the pathway to fascism is pretty timely for the current era (no shame in reading a cliffnotes version though, it's pretty heavy reading). But when she was super young she did have an affair with Heidegger, famous Nazi philosopher who you do NOT need to read or know anything about. May he rest in pieces.

Lacan peaced out from the IPA to join a newbie school so he lost his IPA membership, and people (and the good sis Lacan himself) were not having it but if memory serves me right, they eventually accepted him back. So Tati vs. James, where they're basically doing the same shit and fighting over being the official/most important face for that shit bc they were led to believe by a third party that they needed to fuck each other up bc one could not be a "household name" while the other was around.

As for Hannah, she was Jewish and Martin was a nazi.

The only reason I know all of this (and I could be way off, it's been years) is bc I fucked a very smart guy for a few months and I actually paid attention to our convos bc he made even the dullest info seem worth listening to.

In conclusion: the tweet feels like a weirdly pretentious way to talk about pop culture while showing they're sMaRt lol

I have no idea what the IPA is so I'm choosing to assume they're referring to beer here and this is interbrewery drama

To be fair, she did that, but that was pre-Nazi Germany and she was super young and he was her professor. So that's more on him (it'd be more like Matt Healy dating a young black singer he was mentoring). It was after her imprisonment and escape to the US that she became the anti-totalitarian activist and philosopher we know her as. She's more like Ice Spice in this scenario since that was an exploitative relationship before it was known what kind of man he was.

If there was any chance of TS suffering the tiniest bit from the prevalent misogynoir in this country maybe there'd actually be hope of her turning things around, but her fame and whiteness will always shield her. Hannah Arendt learned from her experiences, Taylor won't.
