Homeless sent out of Edinburgh to make room for Taylor Swift fans
A number of homeless people have been sent out of Edinburgh to make way for tourists ahead of the Eras tour dates.
I really do not understand how she became an ironic leftist symbol, meme or not
She seems like distilled spectacle.
If capitalism were a pop star
It's so jokerfying how the chuds thinks she's a leftist because she's a billionaire and doesn't want to genocide black people.
She's just really popular in general, so people fit that into whatever way they feel the need to.
i feel like it's only on hexbear i haven't see it anywhere else

White people. I say this as a white person. Pretty much every second white women loves Taylor Swift, even where I live. Apparently Taylor also alienated a ton of her black fans by dating and writing half an album about a racist guy that went on a cumtown podcast and said racist things. That's what I understand from browsing social media and listening to the first half of her latest album.
Honestly listening to Taylor Swift's latest album was weird. She had a whole song dedicated to calling out the section of her fans that told her to stop dating the racist guy. That level of parasocial behaviour on such a big pop record weirded me out. But I guess that's why she's popular, people want to be invested in the Taylorverse™®
liberal symbol
Because she promoted voting
I'm so mad that housing is such a solvable problem/issue. It's not some nebulous quandary of the soul, it's a very actionable thing we can adress. We never do though, all we do anything other than shuffle human lives around.
And it’s not even a “we just need to spend the money” thing either, because housing homeless people costs less than letting them live on the streets. This is something that any level of government can solve if they just choose to. The federal government could do it by just using the money printer but also any broke local government can solve homelessness as a cost cutting measure.
EXACTLY! FUCKIN' EXACTLY!
costs less
That might be less profitable tho… you think we really care about efficiency?
but then how will we justify the giant police departments cities have, and how will we justify their primary function, which is buying off the most violent morons to the side of the capitalists so they don't make trouble?
We could solve it overnight but America doesn't want to set the precedent of providing basic needs for its populus when you could charge for the service instead.
I hate her so much. She's also a business owner and landlord. Plus her aryan vibes, I just can't stand it.
Plus her aryan vibes, I just can't stand it.
The tacit aryanism of the anglophone world is ridiculous
Plus her aryan vibes
No for real she looks like a Nazi propaganda poster
Taylor Braun
Damn, she's getting the "head of state visit" treatment
There's a whole fucking like microeconomy around her tour it's bonkers
She's as big as the Olympics. That's a little sad.
More a condemnation of the Olympics than anything.
Can anybody explain how Taylor Swift is so big? I'm normally not one to judge somebody's music taste but god damn she puts out the blandest fucking TV commercial music you can think of. Is the power of being a nepo baby so tremendous?
I mean that’s entirely why. She makes largely uncontroversial music, and she’s largely uncontroversial herself. The things that the media focus on are her sex life/relationship which is typical celebrity gossip nonsense, but she parlayed that into an empowerment brand unlike other celebrities which I suppose may resonate with girls and women who hate having people constantly criticizing them for private affairs. Plus, there are only few reasons why people become popular. Either you’re extremely transgressive and controversial, or you’re widely appealing, or both.
Her feud with Kanye was also iconic. But nowadays he’s just dragging it out cause he’s washed while she just subtly references it or talks about it to the media constantly like it’s still relevant lol
someone's gotta fill that lowest common denominator shit out. people love it
Industry plant, its well-documented
most people are rubes. hogs. swine.
and capitalists love to cultivate those instincts and profit off of them.
socialists aim to elevate and celebrate cultural tastes.
The best song writer of our generation
What no material analysis does to a mfer
Fun fact: Taylor Swift's net worth is only slightly less than Edinburgh's annual budget.

I scrolled through this thread and most of you seem more angry at Taylor Swift than you seem to be at the existence of homeless people
You waste your hate
edinburgh was also angry about the existence of homeless people and that was where the problem started in this case
The existence of Taylor Swift is almost no different than the existence of any other billionaire. The difference is that she produces something. The inequality remains constant.
false. dichotomy.
i'm pretty sure there could be room for both homeless people and music fans in the same city of capitalist greed weren't allowed.
porky watching taylor swift fans and homeless advocates fight each other:
Paid way to much to see this tour.
Yes, I’m petite bourgeoisie scum.
did started malding so hard that they busted out the "NFL games are scripted like wrasslin'" theory to paint her as some sort of Machiavellian puppetmaster.
