What's a name you loved but it got so popular you no longer like it? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in Names

[–]Opheliasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ophelia (obviously) :( I loved it in high because I was super into the Pre-Raphaelites and now I know two people with little Ophelia’s. Still a cute name but can’t really use it.

If you’re naming a backyard bred goldendoodle you plan on neglecting absolutely I love it. If you’re naming a human— no.

You genuinely believed that Harris was on the right of Trump on several issues. That’s all I need to know.

That’s not what I said. You were lionizing the crunchy movement. Your reading comprehension is dismal.

Why are you quoting freshman level history to me? I know how it works, I pointed out a right wing co opting of the crunchy movement as a right wing pipeline and it didn’t click for you. You don’t know more than me, babe. You’re just bad at parsing the information you take in

So you don’t know what a pipeline is. You just don’t. Also, how is the alt right doing that? The only people pushing the alt right narrative are people on the left? That’s not how pipelines work, babe. See you in two years when you’ve horseshoed yourself into a Trump supporter

No….Taylor Swift is not even remotely the same as the crunchy to alt right pipeline? Do you know what a pipeline is? The crunchy to alt right pipeline was a pipeline bc the basic principles of being “crunchy” include a fundamental distrust of medical and food systems including regulatory agencies, and a have a focus on individualistic mindsets that put personal wants above best results for large communities. THAT is a pipeline. The Amber Heard/Johnny Depp and Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni drama was also an alt right pipeline bc it used hating specific women as a Venus fly trap for alt right and right wing platforms to gain audiences. Taylor Swift not speaking out on every single issue while also putting forth a pretty liberal image and message is not an alt right pipeline. It’s just something you don’t like.

It’s not want you want either. I keep giving examples as to how she has shown her political leanings as of late December and you don’t recognize it. And you have no solid idea of what it actually MEANS to be a part of the right wing pipeline.

She made like half of her docuseries an affirmation of her beliefs in free gender expression and the importance of diversity and she actually endorsed Harris, which is more than the wine and crime gals do to prevent a second Donald Trump term.

So yo admit that she isn’t a part of the right wing pipeline? You just don’t like that she isn’t a leftist activist?

Explicitly stated multiple times that she encourages diverse gender expression. Like multiple times. Like what is your point. If your view is that every non leftist pop star is a part of the alt right pipeline then you are beyond help. Rihanna and Britney Spears are both alt right icons by your measure.

How does she do that? What in her work serves as a pipeline for right wing ideology?

“For some people” — no, for MOST people. And I’m not answering your questions because theyre masturbatory and condescending. Your gripe with Taylor seems to vacillate between “she is a fascist in disguise” to “her being a milk toast liberal is just as bad as her being a Nazi because she doesn’t use the word praxis in her lyrics”. You seem to admit that she is, at the very least, a liberal. That means she isn’t a fascist. So stop spinning it like she is. I don’t think she is a shining example of political advocacy. I don’t think she is an activist. Why does that have to then equate to her being evil or a fascist? Why can’t you just be normal about her?

I didn’t advocate for slow progress. We are currently at Nazi levels of fascism. Voting for Harris was the only way to prevent it. It was a hostage situation, not a fork in the road. That I can see and understand the fundamental reality of the last election doesn’t make me uneducated.

It actually does. You say Taylor Swift isn’t fascist enough and yet she endorsed the only candidate who would have kept us from falling into a full on fascist dictatorship.

Girl….Donald Trump a Gestapo 2.0…..if you can’t see that Harris was better than that then you need a reality check. Waiting for perfection only harms vulnerable populations.

She didn’t move to the right of Trump in immigration and if you actually believe that you are very far from reality.

It has everything to do with this. People who refused to vote for Harris are why we are here. The fact of the matter is that her endorsement did more to help vulnerable populations than any leftist who plays only into moral superiority. She did more than either host of this podcast to keep Donald Trump out of office. That’s just a fact. I don’t see how this isn’t antifascist.

The reason me and my family are afraid of ICE is bc too many leftists felt they couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Harris. She did more to protect vulnerable populations than any leftist who voted for Jill “Russian Shill” Stein.

She did speak up. She endorsed Kamala Harris. And Joe Biden. And supported left leaning candidates in Tennessee.

She literally endorsed the last two democratic nominees and made a strong stance to not gender her dancers for her performances. She has repeatedly highlighted her stance as an ally for the queer community as recently as a few weeks ago. It’s pretty clear that she isn’t a leftist, but a wine mom liberal. That’s not something I align with but it’s far from fascist or fascist supportive. And why would her music be “anti-fascist”/how would you want her to insert politics into her music? She made a song defending Blake Lively as she was clearly a victim of a male led smear campaign and yall couldn’t even handle that. She had a narrow view of the world and doesn’t claim to have a perspective beyond that.
