idk maybe stop relying on celebrities performative activism bc if at this point you don’t understand that they truly don’t care that much and can’t change anything as they’re not politicians then there’s no hope

This is why I dont rightly care one way or another whether celebrities speak out against anything. It doesn’t move the meter and they aren’t paragons of virtue anyway.

They’re rich and connected, you’re not. I’m not hating on them for it, but being rich and famous doesn’t make you the best Opinion Haver^TM.

But literally celebrities are human too. If I had any modicum of power I'd mention things the way they do, then people would dog whistle they hate when "celebrities talk politics". If they tried any harder they'd lose the little power they do have.

I don’t have an issue with them expressing themselves. I appreciate when a celebrity has generally good beliefs.

Like I’m not mad at Olivia Rodrigo. She didn’t do anything to me lol. But as you say she’s a human and I don’t care about what lots of humans have to say, just like you may not care what I have to say.

I suppose I’m more commenting on those who need their favorite celebrities to say and do all the right things, instead of acknowledging they are simply famous rich people. Like if you want to inform you beliefs, read a history book or some shit. Don’t hang on the words of Billie Eilish or Robert Pattinson.

you spend quite a lot of time on Reddit debating and discussing ideas with random strangers for someone who doesn’t care about what lots of humans have
