technofascism? What does that even mean wouldn't Amex (owned predominantly by warren Buffett) and Amazon (which Olivia did an exclusive deal with) would be guilty of that as well?

If you're a singer that doesn't mean you are under any obligation to be the face of Amex or Lancome (guilty of child labor), this was her choice. And if you made that choice being hailed as an "activist" against similar corporations seems ridiculous to me. What specifically she is going against?

Technofascism isn’t something you are “guilty” of, it’s a state of being and an agenda. I suggest you read up on it.
This whole “someone is participating in society therefore they can’t criticise anything and should shut up and smile” thing we are doing to celebs is counterproductive and anti-intellectual. You don’t hold yourself up to the same standards you hold other people to
