Swift? more like Supersonic

I think this is more appropriate for the new Starbucks CEO.

Billionaires gonna billion.
- Starbucks ceo is richer, and a ~~men~~ man, we should make more memes about him.
Por que no los dos?
- I'm a one-hate one-love machine. I can't hate multiple people at the same time. My heart just gets confused if I try, and then starts flirting with nihilism.
True.

I'm very much opposed to and sad about an international pop star and apparent progressive taking a private jet all the time.

But there's two things at play that should be differentiated.

The role model aspect. She has millions of fans that look up to her. She could lead by example and use different means of transportation.

She's obviously a unique figure. She's not replaceable or generic in the position she's at. Her "position" cannot be replaced by someone else as would be possible with the Starbucks CEO. She's not "some CEO" taking a Jet to work and thereby normalizing this as a habit for CEOs". Right now there are few if any other celebrities with her status l, so she stands for herself.

The precedent of Starbucks CEO commuting by jet is much more of a blueprint that might be applied to other CEOs. Or already is. I don't even know his name FFS. So he's making a precedent that a lot of other people could readily adapt.

I don't want to excuse anything. I just think that it would be more beneficial to attack CEOs for taking private jets. There's a lot more of them. They areuch more susceptible to the pressure if the companies is seen as a polluter than Taylor Swift might be. She's much more independent than any CEO. She doesn't have to worry if the board of directors or the shareholders are going to replace her if her if her habits are becoming a PR problem. So our energy might be more productively applied elsewhere.

I'm still sad about a seemingly progressive and apparently Intelligent pop star like her flying that much.

I usually suspect bots whenI see reposting highly upvoted memes from several months back, but OP doesn’t appear to be a bot.

Oh my god, there's a second Tailor Swift.
Too soon!

Can someone explain

There was an early criticism of celebs like Taylor Swift using private jets, because of the ecological effects / fuel usage; claiming it’s hypocritical because she’s pro-environment.

Honestly, given the equipment / celeb focus (and that people all around the world want to hear her live), the use of a jet isn’t that wasteful imo, but the continued meme of having her take a jet for minor trips is silly enough it’s fun anyway.
- There was someone on Instagram or TikTok criticizing her for flying from LAX to another airport like, three minutes away. As though she were on what was almost certainly a repositioning flight. I doubt she has a hanger at LAX.
  
  People are kind of silly.
The original meme, started because a cultist (fan) started tracking her flights(public information).

She takes a LOT of private flights, it turned out many weren't her but friends/family using the planes. She got flak because she's pro environment.

Hence a meme was born.
MAGATS are angry Taylor Swift won't endorse their rapist felon for president, so they are digging up year old memes to make her look bad.

As fully expected from a shitbag lemm.ee poster. We REALLY need to defederate from that nest of fascists

These did not become numerous enough. We need more, always.

They fit the Starbucks stuporcommuter better.

Tbh, would you want to be in the airport the day Taylor Swift is flying on a regular flight? First, all the seats would be taken by Swifties. Plus of course just her entourage. Second, all the seats on planes that depart from the same terminal would be taken by Swifties who just want to see her through Security.
- The development of a country is measured not in how many of the poor own cars, but in how many of the rich use public transit
  
  Taylor Swift should be getting to her concerts by high speed rail. If she needs privacy, she should book a private car. A service which would be available to anyone willing to pay extra.
Yeah! We need to make it really clear that we don't care about the really big greenhouse gas producers, or the people that are a thousand times more wealthy and more problematic than Tailor Swift.

We just want to sound like we care by targeting someone who is comparatively not doing that much damage.

It's all for the lulls after all.
It's so cool when cryptofascists out themselves, makes them easier to block

I think I'm out of the loop here... What does Taylor swift have to do with an airplane?

I thought that loop was done months ago. But she did use her jet to go to the other side of a city to avoid traffic
- An overlooked part of that article.
  
  it is unclear if she was personally traveling to St. Louis, where part of her extended family originally hails, or if the flights were for maintenance or testing.
  
  Though, reading on from there, her trying to stop people from tracking her flights through lawsuits is just as bullshit as Musk trying to shut down the kid who was tracking his private jet flights. It's public data and they chose to be public figures. They can both suck it up and deal with the consequences.
She's notorious for using private jets going anywhere, even for short trips that's perfectly doable by other modes of transportation. There's even a subreddit dedicated for tracking her jet.
- Ah hahahaha. Thanks for explaining it to me :)
- And she is one of how many ultra rich people out there who have private jets and they use them to go every damn place?
  
  This shit is so damn silly it's not even funny.
She's starting to gain a lot of political influence with young liberal voters, so conservatives are latching on to anything they can find to try to discredit her with them. The fact that she used a private jet to travel seems to be the only dirt they can find on her.
- I vote left (Canadian), and I think she's a menace to the environment. There's this weird logical fallacy going around that if you dislike her, you must be a conservative. SloppyEngineer's article says she shat out 2.8 tonnes of c02 emissions on this 28 mile trip-- it's okay to call out hypocrisy, she doesn't get a pass.
  
  It's nice that she got the GoP finally care about climate change though, haha.
  
  Edit: numbers
- For what it's worth it's definitely not just conservatives. While I think she's doing a lot of good compared to others in her wealth bracket, that wealth bracket still should not exist, and anyone in it is a problem.
  
  I can acknowledge that she pays better than most other entertainers. I can acknowledge that she's pushing back against a lot of the BS that the music industry is pedaling lately. I can acknowledge that she does a lot of philanthropy.
  
  I can also acknowledge that she's acquired an inhuman amount of money, which necessarily requires perpetuating suffering. I can acknowledge that she's absolutely a part of the environment problem. All of these things can be true at the same time.
- While daddy Musk does probably just as much or more private plane travel, while also trying to publicly go after the guy tracking his jet that is public information…

I like the layout of this house.

I'll bet this would have made a supersonic man out of someone.

One of those moves never miss. One only has a 55 percent hit rate.

Not very swift, this one.

Doesnt work anymore. Maybe if this is about the Starbucks CEO. Swift at least responded to criticism and swore to use less flights. I'm not sure the CEO cares at all.

It's almost like these are bullshit posts with an agenda.

I'm sorry, when did we say only certain billionaires are appropriate candidates for criticism?

All billionaires pose a moral dilemma to humanity.
- ABAB mofo. All billionaires are baddies.
I swear bro.
The meme worked perfectly well for me
Only know of one group that has an active interest in being anti-swift

Is this picture photoshopped or from a real plain accident?

Lol 100% fake, there is no damage to a plane that punched into a building...
Look at the size of it, there isn't even enough space for a human to sit in there, let alone walk
Real or not that is definitely not a run of the mill plain plane accident.

Oh look another lemm.ee user stirring up Taylor hate.

Are you sad she won't endorse your fascist pig for president?

Buncha haters! If I were as rich as her I'd take a private flight to 7-11 down the street if I could. I would take a flight to another country just to eat dinner and come back.

Private jets used by the ultra-rich and boiling us alive. We are the frog in the pan and climate change deniers can't tell that the temperatures are rising, even though scientists are screaming at them.
- Yeah that .9% of all CO2 emissions is really the reason. You should probably also stop using phones and computers and electricity. Did you know factories that produce most of the things you use on a daily basis create more pollution than private jets. Boiling us alive lol.
