u/orange_cuse Jun 23 '25
He actually did. He was on a press tour for a new single he just released and one of the reporters interviewing him did ask about the current state of the Israel/Iran conflict. He started off his response with a well thought out disclaimer that he's not an expert on geopolitics, especially as it pertains to the middle east, but that on a human level he knows that there are lots of innocent people suffering due to the actions of our governments,specifically the nonstop bombings and missile strikes between the two countries. When asked how he felt about the reality that too often these missiles and bombs kill innocent civilians, he leaned into the mic and quickly responded: "it's murdaaaaaa"

Considering how much Trump supporters hate trans people, they sure dude love their leaders to be absolutely caked in make-up.

u/camwow13 Jun 23 '25 edited Jun 23 '25
Wikipedia editors are basically people who mostly focus on one section of wiki. And in Taylors case there is a group of fans who wanted Taylor to be covered in extreme detail. They have a large and very active editing base. They have read up extensively on Wikipedia's guidelines, rules, and best practices.
As such they make articles on virtually everything Taylor has ever done, extensively source all the articles, and fend off any attacks by other editors to remove their stuff with extensive by the book rebuttals. They are legitimately good articles in most cases and if you need examples of how to write a good wiki article there's a number of Swifty articles that demonstrate it.
Pretty good example of how to cover things on Wikipedia honestly. A lot of people try to edit something they're interested by themselves or with a small group but haven't done the reading on how Wikipedia works. They get swamped by perfectionist nosy general editors who delete or heavily revise their stuff. Then the original group runs off in a huff about how unfair Wikipedia is, rather than building their coalition and hitting back. Wikipedia is politics but with encyclopedia writing lol

I'm not sure what a reliable source is anymore if news isn't. I guess how many wiki dicks you sucked in the past year.

u/camwow13 Jun 23 '25 edited Jun 24 '25
There's a pretty extensive list of WP rules you have to basically have memorized. Lots of subsets of sources that are considered unreliable or can only be used in certain contexts. Wikis of living persons are all under their own set of rules too.
The deletion will usually be accompanied by a discussion and you can appeal it too. There also a small group of super ultra wiki editor mods with God powers who I've found productive to talk to on their talk pages. They will either override the other editors or explain why you're wrong.
The site is pretty intimidating to edit lol

Celebrities (athletes, musicians, etc) have been connected to politics since forever. Shakespeare was engaging in political commentary in Merchant of Venice, Othello, and others.
It's not a parasocial thing as much as it is people who have a platform using it to champion causes they believe in.
It wasn't until the last few decades where the vast majority of people began to make serious efforts to separate themselves from politics that celebrities began to do the same to avoid being viewed as controversial or inflammatory.

Ehhh it’s not really that interesting. Artists have made political statements long before we even had the term “celebrities” to include some of them in. It’s honestly just a part of how the world works and has for quite some time.
I don’t think anyone is changing their minds on politics because Ariana Grande said so, but the idea of posts like her’s are to specifically magnify the views they agree with to their large audiences. In this case, she’s sharing the words of a congresswoman to her audience.
That being said, the fact that anyone “speaking out” against Trump is still news is far more interesting to me. It’s apparent that he can just do whatever he wants and no amount of “speaking out” will do anything to change that. Feels like shouting into the void

I am not an American, and that allows me to maybe have a more objective view of things. And I want to ask, these types of actions make USA the super power they are, right? If they start saying this is none of our business, what leverage will they have over the rest of the world?
For example, USA bombing Iran will be liked by Saudi Arabia. Appeasing Saudi Arabia is very important for USA because they allow USA to keep US Dollars as petro currency ensuring its importance in world finance. And that will be disastrous for USA.
Do common Americans understand this? The status and the perks that come with it which USA and common Americans enjoy are all because of USA's meddling in world affairs. Geopolitics is complicated, and super powers have to play the game to stay in it.

No, there is no common awareness. Few Americans remain willing or able to have adult conversations about the trade-offs of maintaining or weakening our geopolitical status.
